I don't know who else to talk to

I posted a few weeks ago how exhausted I am. Since then I've seen a GI, who told me nothing other than to take caffeine and sleep more. I talked to my mom and she said she didn't know what to do. I have to work full time to support myself and when I'm not working I am either sleeping or laying on the couch. Today, I went on a few errands with my roommate, was gone for maybe an hour and am now exhausted. Nobody, quite grasps how exhausted the simplest things make me. I really want to work fewer hours, but if I do that then I will be in debt, as I'm only 23 I can't really get a high credit limit, and thats not what I want to do. I feel so hopeless. I don't think I could get disability especially as according to my docs my crowns is in rehmission, though I don't think it is. So technically there is no reason I shouldn't be able to work full time. I've just started "being an adult" supporting myself and working full time, and this is what happens my first couple months in. I am so afraid that this is what the rest of my life will be like and people just don't understand. This isn't living...I'm scared.

Fatigue is the worst. definitely see your doctor (either try a new one, or go to your GP) and get a full work up. I'm taking B12 and D3 and it's making a difference in my energy levels.

Since I live alone, and have to support myself, there are times it takes everything I've got to get through the day and then I crash when I get home from work. Let people help you as much as you can.

I feel the same. Not as tired as you but definitely lethargic and not a lot of energy. I will be 26 next month and I too am now supporting myself however I'm not in remission. This disease sucks but I just tell myself it could be worse. Def get ur iron checked and even tho ur tired, try to walk..it will get ur endorphins going.

Definitely get your B12 and iron/ferritin levels checked. You can start taking B-100 complex, which will probably help with energy.
Coffee might make you have more "d". Maybe green tea is a better caffeine option and good for inflammation, too.

I am in agreement with all of the above as well, but also ask for a thyroid check as a low functioning thyroid will do the same.

Take care and feel better soon.

I have to agree with everyone. Get your iron and B12 checked. In the mean time, start taking a multi vitamin. Some on here might say that it is hard for someone with CD to digest and absorb the multivitamins, but the gummy one's should be tollerable.

Feel better.

To be honest, I'm not surprised you're tired. That would knacker me out; in fact I'm not sure I could even physically do it nowadays. And when you factor in depression as well, it's even less surprising. Depression can make you feel as fatigued and heavy as if you had the flu.

Could you return to live with your parents for a few months? Ask for a temporary sick note from your GP? Anything to give you a break and sufficient time in the day to look for a better job - preferably one where you can sit down.
