girl there is no reason you should be going to a class when you're throwing up, don't let her make you feel bad for prioritizing your health over a class you can likely easily make up

I would really look into if ur family has a history of endometriosis if u can. The symptoms ur describing sound like it a lot, in my family we have symptoms across 3 generations. Throwing up from painful cramps is not normal period pains, look up and check with a doctor or someone else in ur life that has it and compare notes. But everyone has different periods don’t let them fool u, if its this serious dude for sure make sure ur taking care of yourself

It’s really not your roommates place to be trying to manage your life for you. Why does she not want you out past midnight? She’s not your mother

She means well she’s just worried cause the one class I missed today I have been stressing over and missing a class meaning I’ll have to make up working on my art project in the studio today or tomorrow night and she doesn’t like me being there past midnight like I often am

Which i get but your health comes first, also try and talk to your professor if you could get a day or two extra. School is important obviously but going in sick will just produce half done work anyways, and if you were to happen to throw up in class it's not only embarrassing but a contamination to other students

Nah she’d not agree to that I can tell she doesn’t like me and is super strict about extensions. I got an extension for the last project now she’s holding my sketchbook (cause she grades our notes) hostage in her office and hasn’t put it back in the studio for me to claim yet it’s been a week and a half

She finished grading it, just won’t return it to me. And it’s hard to meet with her during office hours cause she’s a department head, at most you get 10 minutes with her. Last year when I went to her about problems with a professor infamous for falsely accusing students of ai giving 0s for it, she’d dodge meetings with me and show up to her office late

She’s worried cause last month I was almost attacked by a giant buck that wantered onto campus and was right outside the studio doors. There’s a large forest nearby. And the week after that I was so sleep deprived and stressed I kept almost passing out while standing or walking. I put my grades before my well being and she’s worried I’ll get hurt at the studio or on the 10 minute walk back to our dorm
