I am sure it's been asked, but unfortunately, it does seem that nothing anybody says on here is working for you. I'm recently diagnosed, mid October in fact, has my life changed? Yes. Have I had a couple of meltdowns? Absolutely. That's where things need to stop though. I know from experience, continuously feeling sorry for myself doesn't work. It does nothing for my health only make it worse. It's a hard illness to get, no doubt, but it's manageable, life goes on. I have connected with my friends even more than before, my family, my football team mates. I have learned so much about my own body in just three months, what food doesn't agree with it, what does, how I feel at any given moment. You need to embrace it, learn from it and make it yours. Trust me, everyone is entitled to a ***** and a moan about things, but constantly doing it will make others around you feel as bad, and it is not good for your mental health to continuously be so down. Do one thing every day that you enjoy, smile for absolutely no reason. I'm no motivational speaker, but it's so important to get to grips with things, no matter what. There are so many people so much worse off.</blockquote>
