Bad day! Does anyone understand? Xx

[Dancer1992]

I’m having a really bad day. Feel shocking, got an interview rejection, my best friend cancelled our plans. Know it’s only a few things but literally when your having a bad day and especially on zoladex, I go wild. I know I need to put things into perspective but really struggling today. Feel like I’m struggling through my life which is a shambles. I know it’s not, achieved a lot in my life and I’m just in a rut but I just need some positivity in my my life and true friendship. Endo is a bitch and has ruined my life. Sick of searching for empathy when no-one understands.

I guess I just want to know if anyone else feels this loneliness and feel like no-one understands?

Dear Dancer1992,

I'm sorry to hear about this. You deserve much better than this. Its 2019 and the whole wide world still doesn't have enough awareness about endometriosis still. This is why you're feeling so rejected and alone. You are an endometriosis warrier. Here is a good read, please read this book and let me know how you go: "the doctor will see you now", Author Tamer Secking, M.D, written by one of the best endometriosis doctors in the world. He'll help you to understand what you've gone through. That and prayer is the best things I can offer you.

All the best..xoxoxo

Hey lovely, I totally understand. It's very hard and I often find myself in a very negative place. This condition has taken my career, impacted on relationships , taken my fitness and made me feel isolated. I'm lucky that my husband is amazing, but I often think about letting him go because he shouldn't have to deal with all this. My friends are great but I often cancel things due to pain, they understand but I'm sure it gets on their nerves. Invisible illness is so hard, people see that you look ok on the outside and don't understand or believe what's going on inside. You become a very good actress so people think you are ok!

I'm trying to be much more positive but it doesn't come naturally, I've started begginers yoga this year. I have to be very careful as I don't want to pull any lesions but it's relaxing and feels good to do gentle stretching and be more mobile. I find it hard to accept I can't run or lift weights etc anymore but finding yoga has helped with that.

My advice is find something you love, have something positive to focus on. It's so hard, but you've got this ! x

Completely understand, but you can’t wallow in ‘it’. Now come on... the job perhaps wasn’t meant to be... make another coffe and cake date with your friend and make sure she pays this time! Yes, Zoladex is rubbish... listen to Classic FM for a bit for inner calm, it may be a little rubbish outside, however I’m going to get my wellies on and a big coat and feel the rain on my face. I’m waiting to heal so that I can go to Yoga as per Adele’s comments. Pilates is also good too I’m told - have a go.

If you feel things are a shambles, I too am in a bit of a rut, get a big piece of paper, some pens and write a list of what you want out of life (small steps)... write everything and anything, draw pictures... therapy and might get you going on a different track today. Make some cakes or put the washing on...small steps. Hope you feel better soon...x
