I need support - New here

Hi, I'm 21 and have recently been told that I may have endometriosis and am awaiting testing. I am terrified. I am in pain and discomfort and I need to talk to somebody. I don't know what to do and I am not coping well with this possible diagnosis.

Thank you in advance.

Hi! So sorry you are going through this. I was diagnosed last year and it definitely isn't easy. It's a lot to take in and I had a lot of questions (still do). Are you awaiting a laparoscopy? It is hard to talk about this as its not something that a lot of people know a lot about, but I would say if you can find one or two people that you can it definitely helps. I joined this forum and I have had so much help and advice so you are definitely right to come here and ask- I've asked a lot and people have been great so ask as much as you want/can! Xx
