    Can't seem to catch a break

    For the most part everything health wise is under control. It just seems like everything else is going to hell. Have to move to a different position at work because my customer pay numbers aren't high enough. Then to top it all off pull into my garage and I hear my car singing "whistling" at...

    Sticky You Are Not A Burden!!!

    I'm not going to stop trying. I just need a job in general. I am focusing right now on my studies so the gym has not been able to fit in my schedule. I only have a month left. Problem with me is I'm too honest. They ask what my degree was in and I'm upfront about it. It's just who I am. I am...

    I'm 22 and last year I was being taken care of by my mother. By girlfriends mother (now fiancé) and girlfriend (now fiancé) I know the feeling. But we can't help it. But it sucks feeling that way.

    Didn't pass my physical testing for police process hiring today. Feel like a failure. Was close but I just couldn't do it. Was the second to last test on the physical too. So close yet so far. Passed bench, 300m sprint, vertical, and push-up....failed sit-up and I was done. Had mile and a half...

    Sticky You Are Not A Burden!!!

    I'm close to benching 80% of my body weight now. Need to add about 30lbs to it and then get the running down. The running I just need motivation to keep on running once I get tired and want to give up. This time last year I was in the middle of a bad flare. Ended up going down to 100lbs. Which...

    What I'm currently struggling with right now is the thought that I will not be able to get physically fit enough to pass physical tests for police departments

    Sticky You Are Not A Burden!!!

    Easier said than done not to feel guilty. Missing family events. Missing brotherhood events. Missing classes. Barely being able to eat. In pain all the time and resorting to basically laying in bed most of the day because it's easier than sitting up and putting stress on the muscles over the...

    Only thing I can think of is never stop fighting to get better and stay better. Never give up.

    Thanks man. The fraternity president just really pissed me off when he texted me. He should know me better. He should know that if I'm not going to class I have a darn good reason and I'm doing everything I can.

    College and crohn's. Rough time.

    I've entered my third week of this flare and it isn't getting any easier. I have been communicating with my doctor but I have run out of options till the blood test I was finally able to have done was done today. It was some stupid thing my doctor had me to where they come to me rather than I go...

    Sticky You Are Not A Burden!!!

    If only I didn't think of myself as a burden. I've been dating my girlfriend officially for almost two months. And after the first month I went into a flare. She has been through everything with me through it. Even went when I needed to take a blood test. I hate having her worry. I hate it. I...
