Need Some Help Herre, Honestly
Hey everyone, um, just wanted to say hi and spill my guts about something that's been bothering me. So basically, when I was like ten, I got my period, and it has been pretty rough ever since. I mean, we're talking major pain here where all I can do is lie in bed crying or puking.
Anyway, for about five years after that, nothing really happened. My mom's kinda skeptcal of the whole healthcare sytem thing, so I never went to a doctor, you know? But wheen I hit sixteen, I figured out birth control could maybe help with my hormonal stuff and calm some things down. Sadly though, I had to go off it because of this blood clot scare in my chest.
After that, things got better for a bit. I found something that helps with the pain, but honestly, I'm still not sure what's giong on with me. And yeah, the thought of going to a doctor alone freaks me out since I'm not eighteen yet. So if anyone has any tips or words of encouragement, it would be super awesome.
Thanks for reading this-I hope you all have a great day!

Still clueless, but I'm getting used to it-guess being in the dark has its own comfy chair.
I'm freaking out a litte cuz if it's a big deal, it might screw me over in the lonng run, you know? But honestly, I'm trying to stay positive and believe everything will work out eventually.
You know, sometimes it fels like we're the only ones dealing with something tough, but trust me, plenty of folks have been there before. Talking helps a lot-if you find someone who really listens
Thank you; that's very kind.
Could be endometriosis or something else, only a doc knows. No rush if you're not ready. Good you found what helps with pain. As lonng as it stays under control and nothing new shows up, take your time figuring stuff out.
