9. I am sorry you have so much pain in your life

I can really identify with a lot of what you wrote - I have a tendency to "overthink" and sometimes it seems to make everything worse.

It takes a lot to be able to reflect and understand what has brought you to this point and how much of it was beyond your control. I am so glad you reached out here, too.

I am blessed with finding a good therapist to talk to and that has really helped a lot. Trying to find the right mixture of meds can be so frustrating because it really does take weeks before your body may register the effects, while in the meantime you feel discouraged. I am so sorry to hear that you ulcerative colitis, my mom has it and it has really been painful both emotionally and physically.

I truly wish you well and feel free to message me whenever you feel like you want to vent or just say hi
