singing the IC blues again

[Grinch]

Yes, once again I am singing the IC blues as well as the paper is due tomorrow, another one is due on Tuesday, and a presentation for tomorrow as well and I am flaring blues. I needed a break and decided to see how everyone is doing. I had one of the worse weeks of my life and the whole month of October was nothing short of a diaster. I am flaring so bad and my back is killing me and my head is killing and i am exhauseted and i am stressed and I want to have a life and i don't want to be depressed anymore.
On the bright side I am so blessed to have woken up this morning and to have been able to get out of bed especially since i couldn't yesterday. I am truly blessed because i only have six more months before I graduate after four long years and that i have a job for next year. i am so blessed to have made it this for. There are so many of us out their that don't even get a chance to make it this far. so even though i am feeling a little bit stressed out and overwhelmed i do realize how truly blessed I am.

Hi Grinch--

Sorry you are flaring! But on the very bright side, just 6 more months of school! That's amazing, having IC and being able to attend college. You are so strong! Keep up the great work, you will go far!! I hope you feel better!

Hugs and love,
Jess

To me that post sounds like you are very strong. I would not say that if I didn't mean it. Even when you are down you are seeing the bright side. You finding your strength, even when it is so hard to do. So I have no doubt that you will find a way to accomplish what you want to, even though there are things in your way, you will find away to jump over them, push them asside, or dig a new path. Sorry you are suffering.
Good Luck in your path through life. I hope you never have to sing the IC blues again, but even if you do, I hope you always have the strength inside of you that you do now, and even more from surviving these days.

Lots of Love and Support, grouphug grouphug kissing

Grinch, I totally feel your pain...I am in the EXACT same situation as you, although I have a lot o trouble seeing the positive side of things...so thats good that you are able to do that. A question...how do you deal with the stresses of school when your flaring? Or at anytime..I need some suggestions, because thingsare not working out well for me right now.

I am 22 and in my senior year of college. Its so hard working and studying and dealing with horrible pain. But with the help of vicodin and heating pads, and pyridium, I have gotten a 3.75 during the most stressful semester of my life. It was so hard, I have no idea how I did it (or remember it, too much vicodin, lol...) Just baby yourself and listen to your body. If you can cut down on work do it. I didnt really get to go out much, but I did get my work done... Good luck!!
