Feeling down :(

so, for the first time ever, I was told I am unable to give blood today due to waiting for a lap. While I know and understand the reasons, it has really knocked me for six. It feels like endometriosis is ruling my life, affecting not only my relationship and work, but now even the simplest of things. I even feel stupid for getting so upset.

Hey, i know it's easy to say try not to let it get to you and when I was diagnosed with it 2 years ago when I went to give blood it was exactly the same. It really got to me too. I walked in to the toilets and burst in to tears, then argued with myself for being so stupid.

It does feel like it takes over your life. With mine I feel constantly exhausted and stemmed with it anxiety and depression.

Just know that you aren't on your own and we all need a release sometimes. 😁

I know my response may not really help but just know that you really aren't alone and you shouldn't feel stupid for anything.
