The last couple of years have been really rough for me, involving cutting ties with family and friends due to unhealthy relationships, and suffering with my physical and mental health.

The issue is that every time I feel like I’m over the worst, something else happens. I thought I finally had distanced myself from negative people, only for someone in a friendship group twist a conversation and cause issues between me and my closest friend, until now we have never had one issue in our 9 year friendship. I’m so tired after these tough years and I’m starting to feel like I need some sort of protection to put an end to whatever has been happening over the past couple of years!

I’m a total newbie to purchasing crystals but previously I have had bracelets bought for me and felt they helped! I’m wanting to get crystals I can wear to deflect negative/ toxic people and energy, and to protect my happiness and mental health.

I’ve done some reading about different crystals but I’m getting a bit overwhelmed! Any and all advice welcome please from best crystals, how to wear, how to cleanse and charge. Thanks ♥️

This is going to be a bit all over the place because my heads spinning so sorry in advance.

The last few years of my life have been horrific with family. Some horrible things came out about a family member and it was in the local news. I completely cut ties with them and anyone still associating with them. It was really traumatic and I’ve lost contact with aunts, uncles, cousins and my grandparents in the process as so many family secrets came out and my trust with so many of them is broken and they aren’t the people I thought I knew and loved. I’ve been like mourning over half my family with no funerals and the worry of running into them.

With the stress from this, I was really struggling to do my dream job as it was physically demanding (I didn’t know I had endo at the time despite having all the signs but none of the knowledge to piece it together - would have thought GP’s would have put 2 and 2 together tho as been having symptoms since I was 9!)

I had to leave my dream job to work elsewhere and while working in my new career I had a surgery where they accidentally but thankfully discovered I have wide spread stage 3 endo at the age of 30. The only issue was that the surgery made my endo flare up to a new pain level I can only describe as hell. Due to me struggling to even sit up some days, obviously I was unable to work my expected hours and I had a back to work meeting where I was made to feel like shit for struggling to work and felt so unsupported. When I mentioned I needed another surgery to remove my endo, my manager actually sighed and rolled her eyes so I handed my notice in on the spot.

After nearly a year on the urgent patient list, I finally got my surgery 8 weeks ago. Everyone seems to think that surgery=cured. But honestly I don’t really feel any better from my surgery, I just keep faking for others sake. My friends and family expect me to be me again but I feel like I lost me a long time ago and I have no idea who I am now. I was drinking over the weekend and said something I would never normally say, drunk or sober and it got back to my friend and really hurt her. It just feels like the final nail in the coffin of everything that’s happened because I hate who I am right now. I can never think straight between the pain, brain fog, lack of sleep and meds.

I’m desperately waiting for therapy. I’m fighting and failing to get PIP - currently waiting for tribunal after they scored me zero in everything and basically said I’m fine and can manage. I had to fight tooth and nail to finally get ESA. I’m applying for dozens of jobs a week and getting no where. I feel like I’m grasping at straws and letting everyone down in the process. I’m so low and my suicidal thoughts are getting out of hand. Luckily I live with an amazing supportive boyfriend who sees and validates my pain and the one thing that stops me acting on the thoughts is him. I can’t and won’t put him through loosing me that way.

I don’t know how much longer I can carry on like this. I’m so tired. Has anyone been through this and how did you get out the other side? I need a light at the end of the tunnel

I need advice on how to reopen my conch piercing please!

I got it over a year ago, it heeled better than some of my lobes have and it’s been such an easy piercing for me until now. I had major surgery 3 weeks ago so had to removed all jewellery, now I’m feeling semi human again I’ve gone to put my earrings back in and my conch had closed up!

I can get an earring in about half way through from the front, I can see and feel the front and back of the piercing but it’s like it’s blocked. Are there any tips or tricks to help reopen it or will I need to get it professionally repierced? Thanks

Hey girls!

I’m wanting to start eating an anti inflammatory/ mediterranean diet and need some inspo for meals!

What are your favourite recipes and snacks? Thanks!

I had my excision surgery yesterday, surgeon said my endo was extensive but luckily not too deep infiltrating!

I’m in the worst pain I’ve ever been in, only slept about 3 hours due to stomach pains and the gas build up in shoulders and chest becoming unbearable. With all the swelling and having endo removed from my bladder too, I need to pee often. I’m also so constipated. Sorry if this is tmi but I can’t get the slightest bit comfortable because all this.

I keep trying to do little and often walks in the house to keep things moving, stretching my shoulders as much as possible but every little movement is excruciating. I’m staying hydrated and on top of my meds, taken constipation relief (although it’s done nothing yet) and using heat packs.

If anyone got any advice/ tips for a speedy recovery would be really appreciated!
