Working hard to make life something fantastic

A few weeks ago, I had a prof reject my plea for an extension, despite disability services documenting my condition, and paperwork from the doctor about how it affects my ability to complete my work.
So now I’m terrified to contact my profs at all, in case that happens again. Plus emails/communication in general is really hard.

I was super excited for dinner tonight.
Got in the middle of eating and started to feel that “uh-oh” pain I know all too well
So I sat and waited, praying an attack wasn’t going to come
Then after a little while of nothing, I start to get a little hungry again.
Think I’m going to be fine, and the pain comes back.
Then it goes away, and I get hungry again…
It’s been back and forth like this all night.
Dear Crohns,

I’ve sort of just gone into freak out mode a little bit since I finally learned what the long term side effects to my meds are. Needless to say I’m a little eager to get into a more healthy lifestyle. I am having the WORST time finding meals that give me the nutrients I need AND dont screw up my insides. Any of you have any favorite meals?
pfff lets just change the entire cycle to sleeping.

I want every day to be a day of acceptance and smiles.
I’m special. Special, special, special…. in the same way a three-legged dog does, I draw the compassionate “Awww” from people’s hearts. Only my missing pieces are on the inside and not written on the surface of my body. Some days you can see…
This is so beautiful
