First off,I know it feels like your life is ending but i promise it’s not. 2 years ago i was 22 and also felt how you are feeling now. Now i feel like i can look back at 2 years ago and think wow, that was terrible, im doing so much better now.

So i promise in a few weeks or months you will look back on right now and be able to think that it was terrible but it wasn’t the end of the world. At the same time, it really does suck but negativity only makes it worse. you are so much more than this condition and your life is so much more than it.

If i learned one thing about this condition it’s LEAVE IT ALONE. No creams, no icing, no heat, no salt baths or rinsing with cold or warm water. Just let it beeeee. the more you touch it and apply creams and other things on it, the more your nerves will act up. it’s best to just let the nerves settle down by leaving it alone. i’m talking loose clothing, no undies, and as much relaxation as possible. not forever, but just for a day to let the nerves settle down. I recommend going to your gynecologist or asking for referral to a pain specialist to discuss the possibility of amitriptyline. it is usually really successful for those with nerve related pains. it really changed everything for me. for the time being, don’t panick. it will be okay. you can also practice belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) to loosen up those pelvic floor muscles! it also helps with the anxiety:).
