ugh

So, about 2 months ago, I moved to a new city with a couple of friends, and then (because this is just how life is) began flaring worse than I ever have before. It's been going on for a month now.

I've got D the usual 10x a day, mucus leaking out my butt all the time, and the ever-popular stomach pain. I can't work, I barely eat, and I'm dependent on my parents for money (I'm 22). And all any of my friends can seem to say is how I ought to find a job. I feel very alone in this. My parents are supportive, but far away. And I dread the thought of meeting anyone new, because I'm sure the conversation will go:

"What do you do?"
"I'm unemployed."
"How do you pay your rent?"
"My parents do."
"Why don't you get a job?"
"Go away."

Is it too much to ask to be independent at some point in my life?

Also, all of my dreams seem farther and farther away every day. All I want is to own a little farm, but right now that kind of work seems pretty impossible, not to mention the money to buy the farm.

Right now, I just want to move back to Florida, but I went and signed a 1 year lease, so I'm stuck for 10 more months. Great.
 
I am seeing a doctor. I'm currently on Remicade every 6 weeks, which has been working more or less satisfactorily up til now.
