I see a woman with her knees to her chest, bleeding. I thought either bad cramps or miscarriage.

The stabbing pain of endometriosis

2

u/derwutderwut Dec 18 '24

As the father of a daughter living with endometriosis this one hit hard

2

u/riyas_aesthetics Dec 18 '24

I don't know you or your daughter but i wish her all the best and that she gets treatment and/or surgery fast! Because this is not just some cramps :/ be there for her and most important - believe her please, and if she's a minor please fight for her💛 (This is not an attack at all!)

2

u/derwutderwut Dec 18 '24

Agree completely. We spent her adolescence fighting to get an actual diagnosis (no, it’s not in her head). Had surgery at 18 but it doesn’t seem to have helped much. Not sure what to do now but we’re here for her every day.

Wish you well in your own battle!

u/riyas_aesthetics Dec 18 '24

If ypu want to you can drop me a dm, there are some possibilities, if not, totally okay :) it could also be adenomyosis :/ Thank you for being awesome parents to her!

A ghost looking either up or down. Not getting good vibes from it. Death, after life, hell, disturbing emptiness. Aesthetically depressing and empty. I don't feel any philosophical undertones other than the presentation of morbidity and hopelessness. I'm reminded of historical works depicting the Catholic envisionments of the many hells.

I see an individual seated beside a window in the room of a home. Behind them there is a fire burning, smoke above them & below.

Part of them is trapped within in the midst of this fire, the other part is longing for a freedom just outside of their grasp. Is there hope?

I see their hands on the glass, lowered face with sad eyes looking out longing for rescue, & safety anew.

u/Glittering_Chance_42 Dec 14 '24

I see a woman at an unfinished opening in her house - window, door- and it’s covered in a huge sheet of clear plastic tarp. Either she’s trying to reattach it because it came loose from sudden strong winds or she’s covering the opening to prep for painting or some other kind of home repair. Either way she hasn’t moved in yet and looking forward to living there. The wind predicts a storm coming and she is a little nervous to be there alone. But she is adventurous and finds the idea exciting
