Feeling down...

It's 3am...i can't sleep...I've had a couple stressful days and after feeling good for a month out of a hospital inducing flair, I feel like I'm flaring again :( bad hemerroids, feelings of urgency with nothing...just feeling very discouraged... not sure what I'm looking for, just need to whine and not sure where else to do it :(

I'm so sorry. It's rough, and then not sleeping is just icing on the UC cake! This may be silly, but do something good for yourself that you really enjoy. Even if it's a 15 minute time out for a delicious cup of tea, just give yourself a break and enjoy whatever you do as much as possible. Just thinking about it or planning for something small makes me happy and takes my mind off things. I really hope it gets better, and vent here anytime!

Just know that we have all been through it before and for most there is a bright side of the tunnel. Your meds are not listed so can't help you there but all the best to getting on the right plan for you, everyone is different.

Sorry to hear your feeling so bad, sometimes UC can interfere with your sleep pattern, which in turn effects your ability to cope as well, as tiredness and illness are a difficult combo to deal with, but it really does become easier I think once you have found, and are on the right Medication for you.
