My Endometriosis.. This touches the surface of how I feel physically & mentally.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to share such a personal painting.. My counsellor said she thought it may help others living with endo and that people could relate and feel heard. I've been having a really rough time with pain levels and feel awful. Sending love and healing vibes to all living with endo πŸ’ž

Can definitely relate, great pic. Interesting how you’ve included the diaphragm, I get pressure going up to there when abdomen kicks off.

How do you feel about posting pic?

Thank you for doing so.

Thank you :) I have had some really great feedback from friends and family. I posted on my Facebook page and had lots of people message me to say they could either relate or that it helped them to understand. That was my aim, so it feels good to know it is helping others. I found it really therapeutic to do.

Thank you for your lovely comment. X

Your painting tells a thousand words! I am also an endo sufferer! Although I soldier on, I can definitely relate. Non sufferers need to be educated to understand how debilitating the condition it and how you can feel so lifeless at times. Most think it's just period pain!

Thank you for sharing x

Thanks for sharing I think its really important to share as you would be surprised how a painting can relate to others and open a dialogue of support
