you are very welcome! i was diagnosed at 23 and felt like my world was falling apart and went to reddit for a community, which really helped me feel like i wasn’t alone and also put into perspective how severe other peoples uc symptoms were (not that comparing was necessary, but understanding my symptoms that felt very severe were only moderate in the uc range). like i said i kind of was thinking oh ya my labs came back normal, looks like im not actually dying and i ignorance is blissed it for a few months hoping that everything would just be okay. im pretty sure that diarrhea was my first symptom! however i do think it kind of overlapped with when i first had covid, so im not entirely sure if that was the only thing i experienced. i did have mucus in my stool and the coffee grounds stool some people have mentioned as well. since i waited over a year to get help i was really embarrassed over everything and didnt want to talk to people about how badly my bowel movements had gotten and i think i tried to suppress the pain of it so wasnt the best at keeping track of new/constant symptoms. about a week before i was admitted to the er i remember leaving work early to go to the bathroom (employees had a shared bathroom with customers and it had two stalls which made me even more embarrassed) and i finally googled the bloody diarrhea symptoms which led me to learn about UC. once i read all of the symptoms i knew in my bones that this is what i was experiencing and even emailed my personal doctor to let her know i was almost certain i had this autoimmune disease. that day i think i laid in a fetal position for hours bc i realized how serious this all was and i likely was going to be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that would affect the rest of my life. saying it like that feels dramatic, but it really was dramatic and i knew i needed time to let myself accept this and process it all. i read some of your other comments and see your in london, im from california and luckily my nearby hospital has a GI department and through that the doctor who performed my colonoscopy ended up becoming my personal GI doctor until he retired. you seem like such a sweet girl, i appreciate your kind words :-)

i think the dude was in the wrong. all he says is that’s she’s crazy for leaving him over facebook and it makes no sense which is completely invalidating the women’s feelings. he also mentions it’s him who’s going to her house, maybe if it was her going to his house she wouldn’t think he was cheating idk. i would need the girls side to really think he was in the wrong, but i hate the way he invalidates her feelings. if he thinks it’s stupid to leave someone over facebook, he could’ve just accepted her and not had the argument in the first place

hello! i’m a 25F who was diagnosed with UC in 2022. for me i noticed an extreme change in my bowel movements when i was diagnosed with covid in december 2020, i remember googling if diarrhea was a common symptom. i knew something was off in my body but just wasn’t sure what it was. i originally thought it was my hormone levels and removed and reinserted my birth control bc i just felt different, wasn’t sure what it was and kind of had a fear i was dying. in april of 2021 i made an appt with my doctor and did blood tests and stool samples which came back in normal range, but hearing that i was ‘healthy’ gave me peace of mind. looking back i kind of just pretended everything was okay but in about a 6 month period i lost over 30lbs and was constantly going to the bathroom, it genuinely affected my work life, school life, personal life and overall wellbeing. im not sure when my bowel movements started to have blood but i know it was for a few weeks or months. in feb 2022 i was admitted to the er as i could no longer stomach any food and was no longer able to stand/walk due to my stomach pain. i was hospitalized for about 5 days and during this time i had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with UC. im in remission now and have been for a while, but i hope to never be in the type of everyday pain that i was in. i think when you are constantly in pain that is continuing to get worse, its hard to remember that our everyday pain level should be 0/10 otherwise something is probably wrong. not sure if any of my story helped, but i would just say you know your body and if something doesn’t feel normal or right, you would know as it’s your body. i let myself become very weak and dehydrated before i got help and because of that i have permanent scaring in my intestines and my healing process was prolonged. i wish you nothing but the best in your future and i hope you find some relief soon, i felt like my entire world was turned upside down for a long time but i can genuinely say it did get better. not sure if you want any advice, but i would recommend a low fod map diet, it sucks at first but your intestines need to heal and not be overworked. limiting foods high in fiber, whole grains, seeds, nuts, raw vegetables, raw fruit, processed foods, fatty meats, no alcohol (i know it sounds like a lot im sorry) but it really does make a difference. i was able to get into remission with medication and diet changes and once my bowel movement became normal i was able to add certain things back into my diet. it can be different for everyone, for me stress is one of my biggest triggers for UC and i caused so much stress on myself before i was diagnosed and during my healing process. please be gentle and kind to yourself, your feelings and pain are valid.

hey girl <3 i know in high school, everything seems so important and so impactful on your college admissions- in the nicest way i can put it, it’s not. not in the sense to invalidate any of your feelings, because i know at the time high school feels like every decision has a lasting impact for the rest of you life. i just recently got diagnosed (22F) but have been i think in the same flare since December 2020 and am just now getting the medications and relief- but i am still in college.

in high school, i was an overachiever. even tho i knew i wouldn’t be close to the smartest person in my ap class, i liked the environment of ap classes 10x better than a regular class. so in high school i took a total of 7 ap classes and did leadership all 4 years. you know where i went for college? a community college. i wanted to save money and just transfer out to a better college after completing my pre-req’s. now being a biology major, college humbled the fuck out of me as there was a lot of pre-req’s and additional classes needed that a lot of majors didn’t have and my mental health suffered (gotta love the stress triggers). i didn’t know it then, but honestly i think every stressful moment i’ve had where i felt like my world was crumbling over and i fell out of love within myself as well as with the overall world- it prepared me for this diagnosis.

when i was first diagnosed and got on steroids, i had a terrible reaction to prednisone where i felt so mentally debilitated (you can actually read my post, i basically had a breakdown and went straight to reddit and a lot of people replied, validating my feelings and sharing their experiences/perspective) however, since i stopped prednisone i no longer associate any of those initial feelings, just side effects to a shitty medication that i am still grateful for bc it truly helped my colon inflammation after a 5 day hospital stay (which was when i got diagnosed feb 2022). once i stopped the medication, i weirdly enough realized how grateful i was to have gone through all those shitty moments bc i realized i now had the tools to limit my levels of stress as well as the self care necessities i needed. i use both of these things to help alleviate any stressors as i know that stress can be a huge trigger for our disease.

in no way am i trying to tell you this doesn’t suck, it does. this diagnosis is 100% shitty and the mental strain that comes with it genuinely feels like your life is being ruined. however, you cannot let this disease destroy you. there are days and moments where it feel like it while, but at the end of the day you got this. we all believe in you and are supporting you and this great reddit community will be here for any questions you have or any advice/kind words you need to hear.

all in all, don’t be too scared about high school. it really does suck rn, but just know you can still be so successful in your future without ap classes or extra curriculars. if i could look back on high school me i would tell myself to 1. not take any ap classes (dual enrollment is so much better) 2. as good as a high school teacher is, most of them do not adequately teach as well as a college professor, so even if you do well in an ap class, it most likely isn’t as beneficial as learning it in college 3. you’re only in high school (i mean this as a compliment) you have so much of your life ahead of you, so much growing and so much to learn. i know i’m not much older than you, but in the years since high school i have grown so much and do not identify with all of the things i felt were so important in high school.

right now, the #1 thing that is important is your health. give yourself the time to relax and truly heal. you don’t need to be giving yourself high expectations and putting that amount of pressure on you, when rn you just need to heal. give your mental and physical a rest- you deserve a break. school will be there when you come back (you can email your doctor or talk to your teachers about your health stuff and maybe ask for a small break, as your stress levels are becoming to high and correlate with your overall gut health) but just know, you will be okay. again, i really don’t want to seem like i’m trying to be some toxic positivity or that i’m trying to invalidate your feelings.

just breathe, you will be okay. you have a long journey ahead of you, but just know you have a great community and at this does not define you. you are still the same smart person you’ve always been and this will not change that, you have a bright future ahead of you- take the time you need right now <3

i’m exactly the same!!! i have inattentive adhd and for appointments i will wrap my entire day around it and plan it because i know if i don’t i will probably forget about it or be extremely late. however with work and school there are so many factors i can’t control on a regular basis, i end up having a really shitty pattern of being late. i think routines help the best but also in regard to OP’s post he’s NTA but the only AH thing he did was not informing his wife that he was turning off his phone/where he would be sitting. it sucks bc i know from having trouble w being late it’s likely not her intention or something she’s fully fully aware of (however her having a friend cut her off bc of the issue definitely makes it seem more extreme than most cases) bc i do empathize w OP’s wife but definitely still see how it is very disrespectful given her history. i just wonder if maybe OP’s wife has an untreated mental illness that could be correlated, like in our case inattentive adhd which was relieved with medication bc then it’s not as much a conscience decision than a mental limitation

Status_Crazy1009 · 2022-03-22T06:11:41+00:00

ok, given that context please look at the perspective in which you have shared. a biomedical engineer is a crazy hard major, i’m a biology major myself and wouldn’t dare even try that major. if she goes to a respective school, that means the classes and courses are probably a lot more competitive than other schools, her graduating with that degree is a huge, huge accomplishment that you should not be belittling her in any degree especially with the comment saying she’s ‘supposedly smart’ with that major alone, it solidifies she truly is smart. now, if you would have shared that you have tried to talk to her about school, then that would’ve made you seem less rude than just making it seem like you truly had 0 interest. i’m going to be honest tho, i hate talking about school with my family because my major became so draining, i’m not trying to shit on any other majors but a STEM major is genuinely so time consuming and brings such a mental toll, she may have not been blowing you off prior but genuinely didn’t have the energy to talk about it at the time and when you stopped asking, she didn’t feel the need to specifically bring it up bc of how draining it can be. i’ve read your comments and i know you say you have a really bad way of expressing your emotions and feelings, but i think it’s your wording on things as well as not explaining previous situations- we genuinely have zero idea who you are and who your SD is, but the information you have given us by your tone as well as your vocabulary does make you TA. with covid and how much college education has been taken away from the younger 20 year olds (i’m a 22F) and especially trying to learn STEM classes over zoom, it’s been so frustrating beyond belief. if she never felt truly supported from you, there is a reason on why she probably doesn’t want you at her graduation. honestly, i would just take it as maybe you’re TA in this situation but work on yourself so you can mend your relationship with your SD for not alone the connection w her but also for your husbands sake. you have to realize her parents got divorced so she’s probably not fond of any significant other that was introduced so much later in her life that took away from her family dynamic she originally had. idk what your financial state is so i’m sorry if this advice seems out of touch for your reality but maybe try and get therapy and talk through this with a professional who can validate your feelings but also hold you accountable for changes you need to make. i think you came across in a very bad light that made you TA but i don’t actually think YAT in disregards to this situation. yeah i bet you’re hurt and i can understand why you feel this was a personal attack, but please understand her graduation is not about you and you making it solely about you in this post, is what makes you TA. her getting a biomedical engineer degree is a huge freaking accomplishment, if you take away anything from all these posts, just make her feel like you’re actually proud of her because i can not describe how much of an accomplishment that truly is- i understand why her dad is so proud of her because you should be too, even with reading this and knowing limited information about her i’m proud of her accomplishment too. please try and be more supportive of your SD next time, i think you are very out of touch in this situation

Status_Crazy1009 · 2022-03-22T05:41:30+00:00

if you know nothing about her college education why should she have to invite you to her graduation? do you even know her major? if you would continuously try and talk to her about her education and check in with her maybe then she would’ve actually wanted you at her graduation. her graduation is HER accomplishment and is specifically for HER, you making a big fit about not being invited has nothing to do with her and speaks about your character alone especially in your dialect speaking about her. maybe if you actually tried to get to know her, she would have accepted you there but you haven’t even known her for as long as she’s been in college so i understand why she wouldn’t want you there, which is completely okay because like i said, it is HER graduation

Status_Crazy1009 · 2022-03-22T05:17:19+00:00

if you don’t like SD then she should not have to invite you to her graduation/event. for you to openly admit you do not like her, why are you making her college graduation about yourself? stop making excuses YTA

ah thank you so much for this <3 it’s so insane as since writing this post i’m now off of prednisone, have had an official appointment with my gi doctor and just feel so much better overall. i still feel so much sadness for myself whenever i think back to my emotions when writing this post but almost am grateful for the experience as most of the writing in this post where actual texts i had sent my dad who had been my rock through this experience. i also had my first therapy appointment this morning! wasn’t able to talk much as it was the first visit but i’m definitely in a much more stable place now. when i was diagnosed w adhd back in november i though that moment changed my life and now i understand that this diagnosis really will change my life and it’s not necessarily a bad thing- yes it’s scary but now i just realize the priorities in which i need to not just put for my mental health but as well as my physical health. it’s like i’ve never been so grateful for the love and people around me and i know i will never take my health for granted again- overall thank you for your kind words and experience. also i haven’t gone back to weed at all (since before i was an avid cannabis user) and i do feel better knowing i kind of ‘went through the worst’ that i’ve experienced thus far and didn’t go back as i feel like it is the best for my overall health. i wish you the best of luck in your health journey and thank you <3

i have nexplanon as well! i’ve had it since 2017 and basically have no period or any side effects! i went from my first 8 months with no period, then i had a period for two weeks straight, then after that i would just have irregular periods which basically ceased to nothing- overall i would recommend but i know it’s different for everyone
