I started showing symptoms at 27 and it wasn't diagnosed till I was 32. 5 yrs of misery but after it was diagnosed life got better. Had to try few of biologic medications till one worked. There is no treatment but you can control it. I don't remember I have it most days. Feel free to DM me if you have specific questions.

The treatment depends on you. It's for rest of your life (or till when they find a cure) but your body will build resistance to the treatment so every 5-7 yrs you might need to change

I recently decided to slow down communication with one woman on my team because she is constantly trying to have social conversations about her personal life/beliefs and it was super distracting. She noticed that I had been responding less and completely went off on me!!! Why are people like this? This woman is close to 40 and I am 2 years out of college. Is this behavior normal/has this happened to anyone else before? I swear I feel like I’m in middle school again.

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020. I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

Whenever I give my mum updates on my life be it career or when my husband engaged she always has a variation of one question “ Does your job make you happy?” “Does he make you happy?” I am an immigrant from Africa and this always surprises me as I am always prepared to answer 1000 hot seat type questions. I hope to one day take a similar approach when I have adult kids.
