The Crohns and Colitis foundation must have spent triple on mailers and phone calls than I have ever actually donated. It upsets me because I know how much good that organization does, and it’s upsetting to feel that my donation has contributed none to those efforts. Hopefully I’m wrong, but I’m speaking to how the pestering for more money makes me feel.

I’ll second this treatment. This in combination with conventional medication, therapy, and making active choices in my life to improve my minute to minute experience. You know that stuff that mildly annoys you, but doesn’t bother you enough to actually fix? Fix it ASAP, those experiences built up in me like poison, and I don’t think that I’m that different from the average person. Regardless, weed and hiking was definitely the foundation.
