   <p><inline-mention username="Isabelle Carpenter" user-id="2053486"/> I absolutely love your illustrations, I think you’ve been able to convey so many complexities in such a simple way. So thanks for that - I looked and read and I felt held and seen. The illustration of the woman in the supermarket with the cheesy snacks. Yep. I feel her pain. I went vegan back in 2016, four years prior to my Endo diagnosis, but even though I already wasn’t consuming red meat, dairy and some of the foods which cause inflammation and trigger flare ups, I was nowhere near as diligent with my diet as I am now. I’m like a detective in the supermarket, going through ingredients with a fine tooth comb 😂😂<br/><br/><br/>And what you created around needing to set boundaries, that’s definitely something I’m still learning day by day. I’ve always appreciated my own company but there are times when I need space alone literally in order to survive. <br/><br/><br/>Thanks again for this - it’s really great. I’ll look forward to reading more of what you create 😊 </p>
