Re: i keep blaming myself for mum death. 💔
Gosh @eylah sending you big hugs right now 
Thank you so much for sharing those memories of your mum, she sounds like such a lovely soul and I can't imagine how much you must miss her. I'm sure she is proud of you as you push through such a difficult time, and I can see that same kindness in you the way you support so many others here on the boards! Remember we are always here for you to talk through those difficult celebrations coming up

Re: been diagnosed with endometriosis. 🙁
I'm glad to hear it's helping @eylah even if it's just a little bit. I'm crossing all my fingers that you'll be able to get an appointment next week! It'll make all the difference rather than you having to wait until December. It's great she can see how much you need to be seen as soon as possible this sounds promising!
Yeah going private is super expensive. You're not selfish for trying to get a drs appointment because you need one too. You're in so much pain Eylah and that's not a great way to be living your life. I really hope you can be seen soon but try to be kind to yourself. You're just as deserving of an appointment as anyone else is. I really hope you're able to get one booked soon

Re: Smile, say it’s okay ~ poem
what another lovely poem - you really do have such a way with words
Re: Doctors appointment tomorrow
no problem @Rose113 - and it's completely okay to feel awkward about certain topics. it's often just the way our minds work.
try and remember that these doctors and nurses have pretty much trained for most if not all circumstances and problems that patients may come in with - so chances are it's nothing they haven't discussed before. and will have dealt with people coming in feeling a bit awkward about why they are there, so you are absolutely not alone
hoping it all goes smoothly for you 🤞

Re: Im tired.
I'm so sorry you're feeling this way @Chloe234.
It sounds incredibly heavy and exhausting to carry so much on your own. The pressure of trying to appear okay while feeling this way inside can be overwhelming, especially when it feels like no one fully understands just how much you're pushing yourself just to get through each day. Like @Rose113 shared above, everything you’re experiencing is valid, with or without labels, and it's clear that you're going through something very real and painful. You don’t have to have an official diagnosis to be struggling - what you’re feeling is valid, and it matters. The exhaustion, the disconnection, and the pain you’re describing aren’t things you’d make up; they’re genuine struggles, and you deserve to be supported.
Having to hold it together around your family and only being able to fall apart in private must feel isolating. It's worth saying that you don't have to be strong all the time, Chloe. You can be yourself here for sure. Are there ways we here can help support you? Please keep reaching out - it's okay to need support.
