I booked the appointment

Dear Delyara, Before I felt fully justified. That is what matters. The old pattern is familiar now — minimise, monitor, wait, hope, quietly panic, keep functioning, tell myself not to overreact. This time I interrupted it earlier. I booked the appointment. No heroic speech. No certainty. Just action before denial could become one more week. That felt like strength in a form I trust much more than endurance.
