Matrim, ily mate but we have had our share of disagreements and I will continue that trend here haha

Maybe this is pathetic to admit, but after my last cycle especially, I'm just broken down, and maybe I need a little validation. I'm happy that you have a great network of friends and family who you can talk to about this stuff, but honestly for me, my friends from the premed Discord are the ones who I feel like truly understand the cycle and the struggle, so while obviously I'm closer to my irl friends and family in most ways, I don't think it's weird for me to talk with people on here more about the cycle, and about other things with "irl people."
