For reference i am 16 with endometriosis and got my IUD put 5-7 months ago. At first it was great, I had no pain, minimal bleeding, and felt like I’d gotten my pain free life back. Around 2-3 months ago I began to have severe cramping, this was near comparable to my endo pain and would leave me dizzy or nauseous. I could barely walk and would just rot in bed. Sometimes I feel a sharp pain or a poking in my cervix and I very much believe it’s the IUD (I feel this when running, swimming, sitting, etc.) I’m also now having constant bleeding and getting huge clots. I’m having my IUD taken out while having Ativan so I stay calm and also bc my pelvic floor is tight. Is there anything I should know for before, during, and after?

For background information, I did competitive climbing from the age of 10-12, before quitting due to health issues and moving. It’s been roughly 4 years since and I’ve started to get back into it. I got new shoes and a new harness, all the stuff needed. But when I actually began to climb again I was genuinely shocked at how much effort I had to put in. Even 5.5 routes (which I used to excel in) take so much effort. I feel like I’ve lost all strength and muscle I once had and can barely lift my body weight. Any tips on getting strength back and anything I should do to get back into climbing? For reference I’m 5’3 and around 164lbs. Thanks!

For the love of God, please don’t leave your random shit on the floor of the bathroom. And please don’t try to stomp it down the drain, it doesn’t work and it’s unpleasant for all of us. And if the toilet is clogged please tell someone before it overflows. Thanks.

Got told I’m wasting my life (by some ppl in my class) bc I’ve never slept with anyone. Keep in mind I’m a traditional Catholic teenager and I’m planning on marriage after college, meaning I value my own personal chastity (idc wha others do with their lives). I was also told that I’m still a virgin bc I’m scared of sex, which I’m not. I’m now really questioning if I’m making a waste of my teenage years. Helpful advice or reassurance appreciated :) 💗

My older brother passed away about 2 years ago and would be graduating in 2 weeks. I’ve been dreading this day and have been talking to those he’d be graduating with and we wanted to do something to help remember him at graduation. He was an NHS student and VP, he was always so dedicated to studying. Wha could we do for graduation to help remember and honor him?

If mods need me to remove this pls lmk!

My brother was killed by a drunk driver in March 4th of 2026. He was 21. He was a seminarian and had hopes of becoming a priest and expressed excitement in wanting to become a Franciscian priest. I lost him alongside my second oldest brother, who I lost when he was 16 (he’d now be 18). My younger sister heart is forever broken. I feel so selfish for wanting Peter (my oldest brother) back. There’s so much I wish to do with him and wish to show him. And there’s also so much I wish to see him do. I will never see him become ordained, I will never see him do his first mass, I will never see him do anything again. If one thing is keeping me going it would be his faith. My brother loved God so much, and put all his faith in God no matter what.

I feel comforted knowing my second oldest brother (Ethan) is no longer alone, and that Peter is teaching him more about the faith and taking care of him. My younger sister h heart is breaking so much. I want Peter back so much.
