Kind of personal ..

I'm seriously fed up of not just the pain this condition causes but all of the other impacts it has on life.

I can't even continue in 'foreplay' as the pain is too much. I tried by hardest to try and be normal and act like a normal girl would but I can't.

The feel of embarrassment is too overwhelming.

On my behalf I should of told him before but I just feel so embarrassed and to be honest robbed of my feminism.

I'm not embarrassed about this condition as it has made me who I am today! But honestly it is slowly starting to eat me away. I can feel myself going in a downward spiral as it seems to be robbing me of my life (don't mean to be dramatic but I know on here I can say how I feel and not be judged).

Sorry for the rant, just if anyone reads this and is going through the same thing it would mean to world just to know someone is feeling how I'm feeling.

Hope all you amazing, strong women are having a pain free day xx

Sorry to hear about what you are going through .. I do suffer with pain during sex and it is frustrating. It's ok to feel how you do it's understandable after what your going through .. I feel the same if I'm not at work I'm in bed exhausted I wish there was more help for us .. Hope you feel better soon xx

I completely relate to your post. I've been married less than a year and struggle so much with sex which I hate as it should be enjoyed but I also find getting close to my husband uncomfortable due to pain. I only got diagnosed on Friday so I am in a way relieved to have an answer to my years of increasing pain but I am also very depressed as to what is happening to my body. I'm 30 this year but feel robbed of my youth due to tiredness, back pain and stomach pain etc. Keep strong my friend x

I totally understand your pain and frustration. Really starts to eat away at you. I've managed to find hope by going to a sex therapist who is also a relationship counsellor. Best thing we've ever done as we've worked together to make sure we are both satisfied and no demand on my body if anything causes pain. Would highly recommend and it's not as terrifying and embarrassing as you think it would be. Good luck ladies xxx

I understand. I was diagnosed last year after 2 laps. I'm waiting for another op. I need a 'clear out'. I'm also awaiting another apt to discuss my MRI results as to whether I need bowel surgery. Possibly need 2 months off of work to recover. Might need a stoma and/or a sleeve. I feel like telling the world ' I'm done' I feel pretty down and out! I'm fed up of picking up the mask to put the brave face on. I feel like I can't do it anymore. I haven't got anymore fight in me. I feel down, tired, fed up, lethargic, depressed all the time. You're not on your own. You do get past it. Keep speaking to others about it. It helps xx Instagram has amazing endosisters

Oh darlin, it kills me to hear this. Please do NOT despair, you are completely normal to feel the way that you do. Endometriosis is an evil disease (one of hundreds of evil conditions out there) and impacts on so many parts of your life that you end up feeling so frustrated, tired, embarrassed (to mention a few) and like there is nowhere to turn.... But there is! Don't suffer in silence, you are NOT moaning, you are NOT a hypochondriac, you are NOT alone. There is light at the end of the tunnel, a cliché I know, but it is true. I'm am happy after so many years of crap experiences, which I never thought would be possible! @):- xXx
