dealing with a chronic condition like that can really weigh on your mental health. when my cousin had a similar issue, it felt like their whole world revolved around it. so, i can only imagine how it messes with your head, seeing it come back like that. you’re right to feel upset about how it's affecting your daily life, mental health is no joke. but make sure it doesn't keep you locked away for too long. have you tried any over-the-counter remedies or alternative treatments to help with the flare-ups? 🤔 they worked for my cousin, and maybe they could offer you some relief too. it’s tough, but remember, days do get better.
