Hey! So I'm 24 and currently waiting on a Lap for suspected endo (I'm certain it is but trying not to get too attached because ✨tism✨)

I'm finding I'm wobbly and woozy a lot, and I have trouble standing for any period of time, and was going to cook dinner for myself but nearly had a break down in addition to physically not being able to stand for longer than five minutes.

I'm wondering does anyone use mobility aids for similar issues? I'm heavily considering a walking stick for my bad days

Hey,

I am (24F) NC with my parents since August - I have since been cut off by my sisters (who are drinking the Kool aid and claim I am the toxic one despite me opening up about the emotional abuse) and over the weekend I decided to reach out to my grandparents, as someone has been busy feeding information back to my parents that I do not want them to have.

Basically I set down boundaries and reaffirmed that I want a relationship but that information can't get back to my folks (case in point, they have previously rocked up at my place entirely unannounced - while I was lucky enough to not be home it rattled me something serious and sent the anxiety spiraling again). I also want to note here that I have always had a super open relationship with my grandparents and having a closed or restricted relationship feels absolutely awful, and worse than not having them at all.

Last night I received a text basically saying that it was a shame that I wasn't going to get back in contact with my immediate family (which is wild because they were previously onside) and wishing me all the best in the future 😅

So yeah. I'm doing okay, I kind of expected it but it still hurts something fierce. I've seen lots of people able to maintain contact with some and not others, and I want to see if there's anyone else in the same boat as me, and have lost everyone in the process of protecting themselves and their peace.

Happy to accept any kind of response, but mostly looking for shared experiences :)
