I F(20) have had the worst month (Feb to now). I have been in and out of hospital this week twice because of abdominal issues and have been told that I cannot exercise for the next three weeks. While this sounds stupid, exercising is my only way to cope when things get bad and now everything that makes me happy is being stripped away from me. I am feeling so depressed and hopeless, I feel like a failure. Nobody around me is really making it better they keep saying “it’s temporary” or comparing me to their life story and it’s not helpful- I know it’s temporary but it still is so painful knowing everything I am working for is being thrown away and I just don’t know what to do anymore.
