A little help?

[madamdumpling]

I’ve got endometriosis and I’m on pills for it. I don’t really know if this is making my mental health worse or I guess its just the normal amount I get? I don’t really know who to talk to about it since none of my friends have this condition nor they are on the pill for it. I don’t really feel comfortable sharing this to my parents as they still see mental health as a taboo.

Its no doubt that it is very trying times but I just wanna know what I can do to end all of these feelings because its a little too much.

I hope I made some sense in what I’m trying to say HAHA

take care everyone!

Hi, dumpling. That sounds rough. Have you spoken to your doctor about it?

[madamdumpling in reply to Rain72]

Hi WrtrGrl, no, unfortunately I wasnt able to express it in my last visit since my mom was present (she’s supportive when it comes to physical health)

[Rain72 in reply to madamdumpling]

Oh, gosh. Could you try giving the doctor’s office a call? There are also typically nurse hotlines you can call through your insurance. I really feel like this is a medical question since it seems to be related to the bcps.

[madamdumpling in reply to Rain72]

I’ll definitely give that a shot. Sorry but what does bcps mean? 😅

birth control pills

P.S. I was on them for years, and they started to make me feel nuttier, too.

[madamdumpling in reply to Rain72]

I know if I didnt have endo I probably would just avoid it. I find myself getting upset over the smallest things!

[madamdumpling in reply to Rain72]

Oh right, sorry! 😅 I’ll definitely try to do that and hopefully I get this solved. Thank you sm for your help

[Rain72 in reply to madamdumpling]

You bet! I hope you get some answers. Yeah, endo is no joke. My cousin had it, and I know she was in a lot of pain. Good luck! Let me know if you get some answers.

[madamdumpling in reply to Rain72]

Will do! Thanks so much for this. Hope you have a great day/night/afternoon 😆

[Rain72 in reply to madamdumpling]

You too, dear! ☺️

My friend just had a hysterectomy last year for her endo. She had a partial the year before, but it did not fix it. She also has A&D. If mental health is taboo, have you not talked to a doctor about that?

I think the others’ advice is solid that you need to contact the doctor’s office. If you think there are side effects you were not planning on, then it is the safest bet.

I assume that it is a regular hormone dose. There is a lower hormone one (at least in the US there is. I don’t know where you are at.)

Hi Lazydoglover, the doctors have asked about it but my mom always comes with in my appointments since I’m living at home.

I definitely contact the doctor and see what my other options are.

Thanks so much! 😊
