Hello! I am 18f, and not sexually active (providing context as I’m sure this helps)

I am on here to seek help about re-accuring knee pain I receive when ovulating. I’ve been tracking my periods consistently since 2021 and the pain has been happening to a noticeable degree since 2022 and onward. I have period and ovulation cramps, my period cramps are severe, my local obgyns are not free until the fall and I fear this will be dismissed if I see one in person.

my period cramps are also full body (back, thighs, legs, stomach, and headaches) I suspect I may have endo but I’m unsure and this can’t be diagnosed over the internet unfortunately 🥲

I wonder if my ovulation knee pain is related to possible endo, the pain is unbearable even when resting, laying down, or not putting pressure on the knee. heat and ice don’t help, regular painkillers work (Advil mainly) but that’s about it and it lasts for about a whole day or two

Hello, I’m a freshman at my university and just finished spring semester.

To be honest my grades were awful second semester. (C average, got a D in one of my mandatory classes). I had accommodations summer and fall semester as I took classes last summer as well, but didn’t use them since I never used them during the previous semesters and I assumed they’d be similar to high school with IEP’s and be for a specific subject (mine being math), which they weren’t. I honestly don’t have any excuse for this, I got on adhd medication this semester after being unmedicated for almost a decade, I studied for all of my finals, and passed most of them (excluding math, even with a bonus assignment I failed). I even had to go the ER this semester and still managed to turn in work, with it being late of course.

So I really shouldn’t have messed up the way I did, my stepfather says it’s me not applying myself enough, which I agree with. I didn’t realize how I was doing the bare minimum until the last three weeks of the semester. I was burnt out but from what?? Sleeping all day and waiting til 10pm to do an assignmen. I don’t have friends on campus, I don’t drink or smoke, I don’t go to parties. I really just come home every couple of weekends to see my friends or girlfriend. I do wish I did more but it’s over now. I was on a scholarship and with all honesty I know I’m going to lose and have to pay back next semester. So there goes that. I’m mad at myself and I should’ve done better but I didn’t so I got what I deserved.

But is there any coming back from this? Reasonably, if I’m fumbling my freshman year who’s to say I wont fumble the next 3 years? Why even continue if I’m essentially wasting my parents money and a scholarship…idk I mean I’m sure I can but I have very little faith.

Anyone near the Dupont Highway/Delstate campus hearing loud booms? It's been going on for a while. Doesn't sound like gunshots, at least not in my opinion, as someone who's heard them
