Depressed of waking up everyday to suffer in pain..

[Babygirldal]

Almost 23, Stage Three Endometriosis.

Nearly Everyday is a nightmare..Suffering in pain. I wake up to live in pain, I take a very strong prescribed pain medication for this pain everyday. I am just too young to suffer everyday like this.... I want My pain managed without having to be on such strong opiates everyday. Everyone looks at me like they understand but I know they truly don't, at this point I am on antidepressants and very alone with this disease aswell. Although I'm truly not alone.. with the amount suffering from Endometriosis in the world. I truly would love to know.. What helps a depressed women whom has had depression her whole life but but also dealing with Stage Three Endometriosis everyday... Some worse than others of course... Please help Ladies. So Very Appreciative. 🌷❤

Hey hunni,

Thank you for writing this post, I think you are very strong & very brave.

I know exactly how you feel, I'm 21& I too suffer from stage 3 endometriosis but things have gotten alot worse for me over the past year and I've been told I need a hysterectomy. To me the pros of having a hyster weigh out the cons so I'm willing to go for it. I know its not a cure but hopefully will give me some of my life back. It's so sad that we have to go through this battle feeling alone and no one understanding what we face on a daily basis. I'm so glad we all have eachother on here!

I'm so sorry that you are struggling sweetheart. I'm feeling very low myself just lately and would like some advice on what will help me get through this.

I am here anytime if you want to talk hunni, sending huge hugs your way,💛💛💛

Hello 💛 I am so very glad I found this site especially because I get to connect with other women with the same disease such as yourself. I truly appreciate you taking out the time to send pieces of your story and strength My way. I believe if you have the will power to get the hysterectomy done then do it but we are so young and maybe your thoughts of having a baby might change.. I've thought the same about the hysterectomy ! I don't doubt your choice but I believe that there may be ways of still having a baby if that might be a decision in your life some day.. Many women with severe endo still have children with the help of their gynecologist. Truly I understand if you have the surgery especially if your gynecologist told you that you should and I wish a fast and smooth recovery for you when and if the time comes ! ❤ I just think maybe I need to consider talking to a counselor about everything it's been a rough road and I have a supportive boyfriend who is there for me.. but obviously has no idea how bad it really is. Even our relationship is affected...which is hard but he's very understanding. I just don't want to disappoint anyone anymore... I'm always feeling terrible for being in pain. I feel like a burden in My family, friends, and My boyfriends lives although I should know by now I'm definitely not. Anyways I am so glad you responded to My post. Means a lot lovely. Xo I am also here if you'd like to talk about anything 😊💛 Endo Sisters. Sending hugs back your way ☄

Hello,

Im the exact same (22 yrs old, constant pain) , I'm not sure how facing the rest of my life like this is going to be and I'm not sure how to deal with it. It seems I am always suffering an invisible pain but we have got to overcome it. I find the more i think about it the worse it is, even if isn't easy or even possible some days i just try and have a positive attitude, try and do things even though it hurts and i don't want to do anything i go for it. Its hard, bloody hard i know, distraction is the key i think though, fill you life with many things that make you happy and maybe you can escape yourself, even if just brief, and you gotta hold onto those moments and those feelings.

Also, we're young, you're young, there could be a cure in our life time easily! Theres always a bit of hope, even if its small, its there hun <3 I wish you all the best and i'm sorry if i offer no conclusion, if i did perhaps i wouldn't be stuck here either ha, but know you're not alone and if you need someone to talk to please feel free to message me, i know how isolated and different this can leave you feeling :/ <3 Best wishes, Meg x

I totally know how you feel. I'm in the same position. I'm taking anti-depressants and have endo plus pain relief which on the whole doesn't work. Some days are good, some are bad. I have learnt to be grateful for the small things in life such as a relatively painless day, friends who actually understand and my pet etc. Some days I'm a crying wreck and dread getting through the day - this is one of those days. Anytime you want to chat message me. I hope you are ok. x

Sorry you're feeling this way. I do too but am 45 so a bit older. I didn't start really suffering like this until 2 years ago when I had my hysterectomy and ovaries out as it was done by general gynae who didn't understand endo so left for behind and it's kept growing by feeding itself and causing me hideous pain.

I'm now awaiting surgery with a bsge clinic to hopefully help.

With Depression I've suffered for years and find sometimes sleeping is the only thing that helps. That and doing nice things for yourself like having your nails done or getting a pedicure or order Ina takeaway anything simple.

Try to find a friend to talk to as it can really help but if you don't have anyone that understands get a counsellor so you have someone to talk to. Your Gp can refer you for some free sessions.
