How do you do it?

I've had UC for...4 maybe 5 years. I dropped out of college because it became too embarrassing so pretty much no future prospects... I don't see how I can get a job when I'm constantly rushing to the toilet. The meds all do jack. How the heck do you all cope with day to day life, things like getting a job? I don't want to have to explain it all to every single possible future employer. Pretty much what I'm asking is How do you do it?

To say that UC makes things like finding a job difficult would be an understatement. If your symptoms are bad enough that you won't leave the house, then its clear you need to do something to get your UC under control. Or at least to a point where you can manage it. Things you may want to consider would include changing your medication, diet modification, and probiotics. If everything else fails you have surgery, which I can tell you is worlds better than having UC dominating ever aspect of your life.

Colitis is an extremely individualized disease. If you tell us more about your symptoms and what you have tried so far to cope and gain remission we may be able to offer better suggestions. I hope you can find some advice here that is useful.
