Re: could be cancer 😭
Hey @eylah I understand how frightening this news must feel.
I know it's difficult, but try to focus on taking things one step at a time. The ultrasound is just another way to get more information and understand what's going on
I completely get the importance of having a female doctor, and I hope your doctor can accommodate that request- they should be able to if you have asked in advance. It's so important to feel comfortable and safe during your appointment and I want to empower you to ask for any accommodations which will help with that.
Sending hugs, (if comfy)

Re: CAMHS (TW mention of attempt and brief mention of hospital)
i spoke to camhs on the phone when i was 12 but i didnt get referred until i was 15 since i was discharged from the psychiatric hospital and needed further treatment. so that proves that anyone can speak on the phone. bare in mind im socially awkward.
Re: CAMHS (TW mention of attempt and brief mention of hospital)
You can do it!! Just remember this is how you’re gonna get help, and imagine how you’ll feel once you’ve done it.
I spoke to CAMHS on the phone and that means anyone can 🤣

Of course, it’s so hard and it’s a fear of the unknown.
It sounds a little odd but if there’s nowhere else private you could always try the bathroom. The echo is because you’re in the kitchen if anyone asks
