Hello Everyone! 
I have a discussion I would like to open regarding medication dependency and young age.
I am 23 and I have had to be on drugs for 4 years now due to my Crohns and now that I have arthritis from it I think I will have to be on harsh drugs for possibly a long time - which in turn, is giving me alot of mental anguish and stress regarding the limitations and side effects whilst being on them.
I feel as though I have lost quite a bit of my youth by not being able to go out drinking or partying (even though in the big picture it really isn't important at all) but i guess just being and FEELING young i feel has been taken away from me, and I am grieving for lost time.
Does anyone else feel this way also?
Hope everyone is having a nice day
