Today hasn't been a good day. Was recently diagonised with UC after suffering with pains and lots of restroom trips for years. Was admitted to the hospital this morning for iv steroids and several medicines. My GI told me I could be here for a week. I hate this. Today's blood work has markers which say Chrons. Now more test tomorrow. It's hard not to feel sorry for myself. I know there are a lot of people worse off then me. This is such a sucky disease. :(

Suffer and persist through the pain and depression, if you can survive it and BEAT it, then you will come out as a better person. It's like rising from the dead! You can do it! May take a few years tho.

Hang in there.... It will get better, no matter how hopeless it feels right now.

Hang in there... I think many if not most of us with UC (as with any chronic condition I'm sure... ) go threw some very difficult (even dark) patches. It is not an easy condition to accept or deal with at times.

But know that most of us do find relief (even if only between flares) and life does get better. There really seems to be a process involved in accepting this condition. Hold on to the good things in your life and know you are not alone.

It's ok to have bad days and even pity parties... eventually though you need to flip it and find ways to move on (through forums like this , support from friends and family, even for some therapy/psych help)

Hope today is a bit better for you.
