well here's some happy things to talk about in my journal for once. 
so i started school again today. i haven't been back to finish my degree since i was diagnosed with UC, that was 3 years ago. i'm only taking one of the two classes i need to graduate, but at least its a start is the way i think about it.
i'm taking my math/science requirement... and i chosenutrition for today becuase it seemed the easiest. one day of this class and i already see the irony of it. we have to keep a food journal (which i already do) and we are starting on digestive diseases... looks like i'll do well here, lol. hopefully i will learn something new and informative, and i'll be sure to tell you all.
also, i was worried about signing up for 1 class even, because i need to keep with attendance. i informed the professor of my situation, and she is completely understanding... i can't tell you how great that feels. i was so worried that she was going to tell me "i'm sorry, but there is no special treatment here." or "you should've filed disability with the school and now its to late"
i'm just glad i'm completing one of my two degrees finally when i never thought i would go back to school because of how sick i am. i believe i can do this!

because of my journals, i realize i may look like this crazy angry person. i'm not really like that, at least not all the time, lol. i barely find the strength to come on here, and when i do... its usually so i can vent and calm down. it also helps for me to read what other people are going through and realize i'm not alone.
so for those of you who read my journal, thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent! and i'm sorry :)

I can relate. I felt the same way as you when I was diagnosed years ago. Take things as they come and try to see life a different way now. It helps when you try not to fight it. You've got a disease now and the more you stress out about it the worse you will feel...physically and mentally. None of us planned this, and as much as it sucks, try to smile about the good in your life. Take care...we are all here for you.

Don't be sorry! This is a great place to let it all out. There has got to be at least one good thing going on for you, find it and focus on it. I hope you feel better soon. Gord is right; let yourself just be.

Even before I joined this site, I've been journaling since I was 11. My books are full of angsty babble! But I realized it's the best release I can find...vent away!

Good for you! I knew your teachers would be understanding. Nutrition classes are fun; one of my degrees is in clinical nutrition. Wishing you the best; always!
