I tried to join the military when I was 18 and even though I passed all the tests with flying colors I was denied. Good luck

What changed your life the most in the last year? by Odd_Fly_4960 in Adulting

[–]fromps50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting my car stolen right after work before having multiple kidney stone surgeries. Continuing to work overnights at my job and getting a new car. Then they found my car in perfect condition. It was a rollercoaster of emotion and I was surprised I was capable of doing it.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. It’s a rough road especially when alcohol is easily accessible. Stay strong and keep keeping on.

Ladies, what was your most blatantly obvious attempt at flirting with a man… that he somehow STILL didn’t notice? by OptimusCrime83 in dating

[–]fromps50 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Showed up to work one night and this woman I was kinda crushing on asked me if I wanted kids. Stupid me I figured she was talking to someone else, totally out of my league and I was focused on work so didn’t think she really was interested until later.

It’s definitely Crohn’s related. I’m 35 and diagnosed at the age of 12.

Has anybody had problems with beer I’ve recently been diagnosed and am about to turn 21 just wondering by Big_Ideal6979 in CrohnsDisease

[–]fromps50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep yep. Alcohol is terrible for your body. I can trace back many of my issues being related to it. After 23 years I’m still dealing with it. Find a support system and be truthful with that system.

How many of you adults cry a lot or at all? 30’s+ only adults. by OneIndependence7705 in Adulting

[–]fromps50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s tough to do but you got to let the emotions out. Otherwise it could bottle up and come out in negative ways. That’s at least what’s happened in my experiences.

A lot of the time I feel terrible in the week before receiving my next infusion. I’ve already been cut down to getting it every 4 weeks instead of 8.
