Thank you so much for the kind and wise words! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I've had some weird mental block when talking or thinking about my health lately, especially after my parents saw me when I was having a bit of a breakdown because of all this... Anyway, in the end it went a bit differently ...

Hello and thank you, especially for the reassurance that  those concerns are normal. When I'm stuck with my thoughts and have noone I could talk about them with it gets so hard not to doubt everything. So thanks for the chance to vent here! And thank you for sharing your experience, I'm sorry you we...

Thank you so much! I'd like to talk about something that could get in my way of becoming independent. Sorry if it's long but putting my thoughts into words and venting here always helps. And if anyone has any thoughts I'll be of course happy to hear them. So, the the thing is that the past few years...

Hi! It's been a while and to be honest I've missed talking to you all so much. I don't have time to put together any questions today so I hope it's okay if I just share a little. Unfortunately, I can't say that I haven't been active here because everything is perfect and I have nothing to talk about...

Ok, thanks!

Hi and thanks for the reassurance! I'm not allowed to do my own laundry so hand washing seems like the best alternative for now. You're right that washing those pads would probably turn out to be even more work in the end, but it seems at least like a nice diy project anyway :) I found some unclear ...

Thanks so much <3 I have a more 'traditinal' sex-ed question today related to vaginal discharge. Most of the time I have it quite thick and it leaves stains. I've never thought it a problem because it's always been like this and from what I've learned here it's absolutely normal. The thing is my mum...

I don't know if you'd prefer just a few words or a detailed review so I'll keep it short but if you want to, I'll be happy to talk about it more :) So, in short, I really liked the book. I loved that it told many real stories, I really appreciated the way these stories were connected with a lot of r...

Of course :) There was the one by Atul Gawande, one by Caitlin Doughty and out of those recommended in the link you shared I've so far found two by Kathryn Mannix and one by Megan Devine (but I have to wait some time before I can borrow those). So I'll start with Being mortal and see where it'll lea...

Thanks a lot! I surprisingly found several of those books (unfortunately not the first one) in our local library so I'm excited to start reading

And I wish you all the best in your course!

Thank you for the recommendation, I'm sure he will love it! And thanks for the helpful insights as well! I'm used to him being very open with me and sharing a lot of feelings and struggles so I probably tend to forget to actively ask him how he is feeling or what can I do for him so thank you for th...

Thank you so much, especially for the offer to talk about it more <3 I'll refrain from talking about my grandmother for now because it's a bit complicated and it doesn't seem right to discuss it in such public space. But I have a few more general thoughts/questions if that's okay :) What you say abo...

Thank you! As for the general relationship stuff: I love metaphors like this one! I would add that those pitchers and glasses aren't made of glass but from some opaque material so it's often hard to determine how much water has everyone, including ourselves, got left... The thing is, I don't want to...

Thanks! You are right, Im sure he would hold it againts me if he knew why I wasn't able to support him, but he doesnt know it so he might think I just didn't want to, but on the other hand there wasn't allegedly any trouble and he had other friends there so he might not even realise I wasn't around....

He didn't want to talk about it beforehand but in the end I'm glad we didn't have any plan because it at least means I didn't break any promises when I wasn't able to provide almost any support to him... I was in a lot of pain most of the evening due to some health problems so instead of spending ti...

Thank you! Out of those three people, there is one that isn't interested in talking with me at all, one that I don't want to get closer to for several reasons and one who I guess already is my friend, I just have hard time seeing it like that and letting him closer to me. I'm not sure why I'm so rel...

Thank you for the reassurance and sharing! I'm not a very confrontational person so probably the only place where I get honest and direct 'evaluation' of my behaviour is at home and I'm often called things like toxic, heartless or selfish there, but it's hard to say whether this is or isn't true in ...

Hi, so nice to hear from you! And thank you for the reassurance, it's just what I needed. There seem to be some disagreements among people from this group so I think it was probably more about the group generally falling apart than me doing something wrong. I also realized something about my relatio...

Thank you so much for those answers! And there is no need to apologise. I'm sorry I didn't let you know in time that it was not urgent at all anymore because I don't get a say in anything regarding my grandma anymore nor am allowed to talk with her about 'serious topics'. As my mum came to terms wit...

Thank you, it's nice to hear that I don't have to have everything figured out yet. Most people tell people my age things like that the easy and fun part of my life is ending, the hard one is coming and I should know everything by now or I'll never be a "good proper adult". And it makes me ...

Hi and thank you! Sorry that last post was a but chaotic and sorry for the late reply (we can't access pages labeled as sex-ed through the school wifi anymore, I don't have time to go to the public library and I'm not allowed to use internet after 10pm at home) Anyway, my dilemma about that friend g...

Hello! I know it might have seemed like he did from my post,nbut I'm quite sure he didn't mean me any harm, he is sometimes impulsive or unpredictable but I believe he's a good guy. And rather than wanting me specifically to be drunk he seemed to be anxious about me not following some 'unspoken rule...

Thank you for the offer, but I don't want to take up even more space than I already do here. But if anyone is interested in the political situation here, I'm happy to talk about it more ( it's actually quite  scary and stressful - no surprise when a person with very fitting nickname "our countr...

Thank you so much for your concern, I really appreciate is! Even though I have very little time for myself, I've been doing quite good lately. My health problems have been also less annoying so I have a lot of free energy to dedicate to helping people around me (like helping classmates with school, ...

Hi, I hope it's not a problem that this thread has been made some time ago and I'm not asking exactly for what you offered, if this or anything else is a problem, I absolutely understand. Firstly, I have a few questions mostly out of curiosity. I've recently seen two people when they were dying i (i...
