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

Thank you so much for responding!! You’ll have to forgive me, I’m currently having a flare up & currently in the midst of midterms, so my energy’s a bit low & my response might not be as thorough as i would like. I don’t want to leave you hanging though; this response was super touching & i’m very grateful for the support <3 <3 perhaps the reasons you mentioned are exactly why i feel so comfortable in this space; the crowd is much more diverse here & i feel like i fit in a lot better here. i see lots of room for growth on lemmy as a whole but i’m very grateful for this space; thank you to everyone on here for existing <3
