Hello! My phone’s on 5% so I’m typing really fast right now; apologies for typos &/or poor grammar! I deleted reddit when the protests happened in June/July (??) & switched over here to lemmy. I suspect i have endometriosis and I used to love the endo communities on reddit, but i no longer have access to that & i’m just feeling kind of alone i guess …. So far, I’ve felt the most at-home here, which is why I’m posting this here, and I’m just curious to know if there’s anyone on here who has a uterus & either suspects they have endometriosis or has an actual diagnosis. I have a consultation lined up later this month. I’m just in a lot of physical pain & i don’t want to feel alone right now. I keep trying to find communities here on lemmy where it’s appropriate for me to talk about this stuff but it’s all been to no avail. Sorry if this isn’t allowed. Thank you for reading :,) <3

TL,DR: i think i have endometriosis and i don’t want to be alone, so I’m desperately searching all over lemmy to find people who understand me & relate to my experience

There are a few comments on here that I don’t have the energy to appropriately respond to rn (i’ve gotten 8 hrs of sleep in the past 3 days) (22f physics major in the middle of midterms lol) but i just want to say thank you to every single person on here from the bottom of my heart. Truly. Thank you for making my feelings of loneliness & isolation surrounding this experience melt away. Thank you for giving me a sense of community, for empathizing with me, sharing your experiences, & for giving me all of these resources. You all just seem like such wonderful human beings & I’m so grateful for you all. I hope you all have a beautiful day. I’m gonna try to respond individually to everyone as soon as I can !!!!💗💗💗💗💗💗
