Doesn't anyone care?

[Crohns08]

I'm so mad right now. Being a teenager with crohns in the absolute worst! I am having an easier time because I am getting close to remission, but sometimes i feel like when everything is piling up on me and I get so stressed that its slipping through my fingers. Sometimes I just want to scream because I feel like I am being pulled in all directions from school, driving, parents, my dogs, among other things that stress me out. Life isn't fair or easy, I know, but sometimes I feel like everyone else is so absorbed in themselves and their own stress to care whether or not I'm in the bathroom at the consequences of my own.

I feel slightly better venting, but now I'm hungry...:ymad:

I also didn't mention how hungry I am all the time. No matter how much I eat, I'm so hungry 30-60 minutes later.

I know I'm not the only one, but sometimes it feels that way.

Aww, sometimes a teenager has a busier life than an adult with a full time job, it seems. WE care, if that matters - vent away!

 

[RHOV]

Yeah, I know what you mean. As if growing up wasn't already bad enough... especially in high school. Crohn's and school DO NOT MIX.

Go ahead and vent! We don't mind.

It does suck. And stress definitely makes things worse! :ymad:
It also makes it worse when people around you don't understand or sympathize.
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a 'good' time in your life to have Crohn's.
Hope you feel better soon- and it ALWAYS helps to vent- so vent away!!

I care, I know how you feel,I'm a teenager too and sometimes it seems that this disease is ruining my life. I do scream from time to time just to let it out, and then my family looks at me like I'm crazy lol. Just take it one day at a time, and sometimes its just better to do things you want to do. If you think people aren't paying any attention to you LET THEM KNOW!

Vent as much as you want, we're listening

 

[RHOV]

Again, I sympathize. I just missed playing in a concert because I can't leave the house tonight.

But we're all in this together, and that should hopefully be some source of comfort!

 

[Crohns08]

Thanks, guys! It's nice to know that I can talk to people who can understand where I am coming from. I have been doing school work all day. I am actually finished early with schoolwork tonight, I usually don't finish until midnight or so.

I'm glad I can vent here.

Crohns first stuck me in my teens, right before I had my major exams. I was really ill and struggling and my teachers did not help they thought I was just 'lazy' or 'making up excuses' they basically thought I couldn't be bothered so they wouldn't be bothered with me. So theres me feeling like total crap struggling to make it into school to study just to be treated like dirt by my teachers (excluding my art teacher he rocked!) Funny enough I did well in my Art not so good in the other areas hehe. But yeah it can be stressful and difficult. Everything passes with time, just gotta keep on fighting through and this place is great for support. I could really have done with the great people on this forum back in those days. It's important to take time out for yousrself to relax.

Yah im a teen too, its very stressful and tiring with everything that is going on. As of right now crohns is just ruining my life.. i haven't played any football in like 2 or 3 months, barely hang out with friends because the pain is unbearable.

we're all in the same boat.

Heart hugs to you~Nancy

Vent away 08.

This disease stinks.

So does school sometimes.

Together they are a teens worst nightmare.

But you get to wake up eventually knowing that you got to graduate and finish something important.

We are always here to listen to you vent.

yea i know what you mean i just finishd my senior year of highschool on the 29th and have been in lhe hospital since lol i cant even walk at my graduation because of a drs appt. and i would tell all my teachers what was going on and they would cut me a littl slack sometimes it just depends if your teacher is nice or not. hope you get everything sorted out. im just glad my school career is done for now. imma take a brake for a year or so to get everything sorted out with my own things. so good luck to you in finishing school!
