Working Full Time and Exhaustion

I am a recent college graduate and have had crohns for 4 years and a colostomy for 2years. As many people today the only job I could find out of school was in retail. Its ok, but my exhaustion is overwhelming. When I'm not working I sleep even on my days off. I've also noticed that my bum hurts more. It always hurts but I've gotten used to it, so I say that it doesn't hurt, but now I find that it hurts enough to be uncomfortable. I've also found myself mooping (mucous pooping from rectum due to colosotmy) more than usual. I was wondering if people find working full time to be to much or if you have had similar experiences. I just don't know what to do, sleep or work??

I'm not surprised you're exhausted; even without Crohn's being on your feet all day is pretty tiring, in my opinion. I could do it pre-Crohn's but now I seriously would not even like to try.

Can you reduce your hours? Look for a more sedentary desk job? I'm probably just suggesting the utterly obvious, but I do think, if money and circumstances allow, you ought to cut back on work. Partly because it's no life only being able to work and sleep and partly because of the risk of burnout due to physical exhaustion.

And you should see a doctor about your symptoms :-/
