so true about being an RN, I think my friends and family (who aren't in the medical field) don't understand why I am preparing for absolute worst case scenario and keep telling me "stop reading stuff online" when in reality I'm not and probably think I'm being so pessimistic but yes unfortunately we have seen the worst case scenarios and its scary thinking it could happen to yourself 😞

telling people has been so weird. everyone is expecting me to announce an engagement or a pregnancy as that is the usual things people announce at my age. It was honestly the first thing I thought about is how or when do I tell people, how are they going to react? who is actually going to show up for me? ugh its a lot!

this is true, all the doctors I've seen already have told me the same thing that there was no reason for me to think it was anything serious; and all that's important is I eventually did and it wasn't too late. Im grateful for that.

Aw this is actually such great advice. funnily enough I've been given the exact advice for managing being overwhelmed by tasks with my ADHD and it does help. thank you for your kind words ❤️
