Another slightly different perspective. I don’t stay positive or happy either but I tend to just become numb to it all, to the point where not much will affect me, just waiting for the next thing to go wrong. It probably isn’t too healthy a way to deal with it but after so much going wrong and cancelled plans and having to take time out of Uni, etc, it does seem like the easiest method. My IBD team have just decided to put me on a liquid diet though, so I will start that on Monday, it’s not something I want but it is just something I will have to get on with.
