Tired, Grouchy and in need of 2 weeks in bed (and a new non-endo belly!)

[LauraJayne92]

Endo Belly - Meh! When it's already getting you down and making you feel crappy, why oh why does Endo then decide to kick you whilst your down and make you look 3 months pregnant!?!

I am shattered today and generally feeling rubbish - I get up, get ready for work and put a new skirt on that I got for Christmas - Maybe wearing something pretty will make me feel a little better in myself - Yeah, until I look down and see the massive bluddy bulge that is protruding from my midriff!!

My head is aching, my body is lethargic and now I've got a non-baby baby bump to contend with! Give us a break guys!

I've had a pretty stressful couple of months, I left my husband (being 26 and leaving a marriage after only 2 years results in a hell of a lot of judgment! Without the "well that's just life!" comments when you justify it by saying that you weren't happy!) It resulted in bad skin breakouts and a lot of rather random stress bleeds!

I'm coming out the other side of it now (5 months down the line) and have come to the conclusion that I am in need of a well deserved two weeks in bed! It's exhausting having to pretend to be strong - Both physically and emotionally!

I also may have indulged in quire a few glutenous cakes and pastries over the last few very stressful weeks - Not helping my strict gluten-free endo diet (which does actually help an awful lot when I stick to it!) Oops!!

Anyway, I am forgiving myself for the crappy feelings, the tiredness, the self-indulgent whims and vanity of worrying about my endo belly in my new skirt because I think I deserve to! "This world is tough my darling but so are you!" - I love this quote - I even printed it and stuck it in to the front of my diary - Now pass me the wine and let me put my feet up for the evening! Endo belly out!

No idea how I came across this post, but it was fantastic. Keep your head up, you can be a light in someone’s very dark room!

Hope you enjoyed your wine & I am sure you looked rear in your new Christmas skirt, we are very critical of ourselves and others don’t even notice. Keep your chin up beautiful lady x

If only you could bottle your fantastic attitude, I'd pay for it!!

Thank you for your uplifting true words. I'm so down at the moment due to endo pains and waiting for a GP appointment to 'plan' whats next.

Your post made me smile, knowing I'm not alone.

Your wonderful xx
