You did advocate for yourself; it's frustrating when people don't hear or listen to our concerns. The fear of the unknown is absolutely the worst, and honestly, the only thing that alleviates, for me, it is time and support. Please keep coming here; the folks are really genuine and gracious, in my experience. I hope you have someone supporting your advocacy as well. When I feel like I didn't do something 'on time' or 'right,' I like to remember this Arthur Ashe quote: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." 💜
