Some Solace

Hi all. Firstly, I want to say how much finding this chat has helped me already. I have IC. I am miserable. I’m only 22 years old and just graduated college. I start my first REAL job tomorrow, my dream job that I’ve waited my entire life to land! But I’m terrified. The stress of moving away from home and across the world (yes I took a job in Hawaii) has made my IC flare up x100. I’m terrified that my body will be the thing keeping me from living my dream. No medications or therapy’s I’ve been prescribed has worked. Does anyone have any tips for how to help a “flare up”, especially while at work?? I’m miserable and terrified and sick of feeling this way.
