Hey there friends!

This will be my third year. I'm posting this on the off chance someone has an extra camping pass they might feel like donating. I have the festival tickets but I just couldn't come up with the funds for a camping pass, my current plan is to try sleeping in my vehicle nearby and driving back to the venue every day.

Struggles with depression

I know there's places for depression, but i feel like my lows correlate with my flare ups. I feel so drained during that time and find it hard to keep up with even light housework. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed from the symptoms and everything and I feel like my coworkers judge me because i genuinely get kinda lazy at work, doing the bare minimum to get it done. I recently learned of the term "lava belly" used to describe the pain that happens during these flares. Im 40yo and new to crohn's, diagnosed in March last year, was about to start a biologic and suddenly developed an intense case of mrsa. Finally cleared of the mrsa and trying to start on rinvoc and my insurance decided to drag their feet on approval even though they approved it last year. Ok, they don't want to pay for treatments they can keep paying to treat my symptoms then..

Any advice is welcome as i'm fairly new to this, either to help with the depression or the symptoms. Give me all your tips and tricks.

I've already been making a lot of changes to my diet (god I miss spicy foods)
