Really down with symptoms and struggling

Diagnosed 3 months ago, 16 days in hospital and dr put me on remicade.  Just had an infusion and still not feeling good.  Any tips on keeping spirits up and trying to cope with life?

Just try to live your life as best you can. What are your symptoms currently. How many BMs a day? How much urgency? Any blood or mucus? I guess what I am asking is what can you do. I am in a flare but currently only having a few bms per day with no blood or mucus. I still eat what I want, go out with my wife, go to work ect. I try to live my life as much the same as before UC hit me. I know many here cannot do that though. Patience is the hard part. It takes a while to see improvement and that can be depressing. Music helps me cope. I listen to a lot of music. I also play a lot of video games. Anything to pass time and take my mind off of UC.

I used to run 7 miles 3 time a week. Now I can't even mow my lawn. I hope as things improve for me to start back doing something. Maybe try going for a walk to start. I think if I do anything exercise wise it will boost my spirits. I plan on starting my 100 push ups app on my android phone in the next couple of weeks. I was up to like 60 push ups using it before this flare. it was easy to do and I could do it indoors. Right now I can't handle the heat or I would start walking.
