My future seems like a long, dark road now...

[Dylann]

I've always done well in school and get a bunch of a's in my reports. I used to think I'd do well and get a good career but thanks to ic, the road ahead looks like a long dark tunnel. The pain makes me just want to stay at home and do nothing. My only hope is that it goes away by then, and as for the cure? Well, it doesn't seem like anyone's doing much about it, so I'm not expecting it to come any time soon. And I can't even eat my favourite stress food (nachos with chili, tomato and cheese)

I know it doesn't seem like it but you will learn how to manage it and live a pretty normal life. You can eat some of your favorite stress foods. nachos with mild cheese are ok. Once your bladder heals some you will probably be able to add things back in. When you are at the worst of it it is impossible to imagine getting through. As someone that made it to the other side I'm telling you it might take time but you will conquer this. Don't give up.
