I'm still learning the acceptance part, having only just being diagnosed. Stress is my biggest downfall. Learning to cope with stress is becoming key. Having UC causes it's own kind of stresses at first. Till we learn whatever we need to cope...For me, as with others, educating myself, and coming here nearly each day for a boost or a good cry with others in as much pain & discomfort or support as myself. We are each sooo very different in sooo very many ways! We are very supportive of each other here. With UC, that's very important in that, it in itself changes daily for each of us as well. But, at the other spectrum, there are worse illnesses, or whatever it is for you, out there! Could be better, could be worse! Thank Goodness!?!
