Hey guys, this is my first post here and I’m sorry if it seems a little negative I’m just feeling awful lately and need to talk about it.

I’ve been diagnosed with UC for two years and my bleeding has recently reached the point of becoming acute. I’m always tired and in pain, none of the treatments seem to be helping and I’m just so tired of it all.

About a month ago I was hospitalized for a week, and I felt pretty ok the first couple days after I left the hospital. Almost immediately afterwards though my pain has been increasing again, and lately I haven’t been able to keep any food down besides transparent liquids and crackers. I’ve lost about 25 pounds in less than 3 weeks. It’s so hard to just get out of bed every day. I’ve been seeing my doctors and they’re doing everything they can to help but I’ve just been feeling so trapped in my own body and head lately.

Wishing everyone else well and hoping for better things in the future ~
