hey everyone! Its my first time posting! Im a stage 2 endometriosis survivor who is currently going into stage 3.. needing another laparoscopy.. im having a hard time mentally with myself mentally and my partner. I just feel exhausted mentally and physically and feel really alone through this entire diagnosis and journey.. it’s starting to ruin my newly engagement.. and im starting to feel hopeless on drs at this point.. any advice on anyone going through insecurities, sexual insecurities.. relationships? Not being able to work and do daily task.. etc.. ?

Hello.

So sorry to hear you feeling so sad. Its not easy to live with endometriosis. I try to take control as much as I can. I exercise regularly, drink lots of water, walk a lot, try to keep as healthy as I can. Also started practising mindfulness to stay calm. I do find when I'm tense and stressed the pain is even worse. There are days when I really struggle so on the better days I try to make the most of it. Its so unpredictable isn't it. I've had it for 30 years so I do feel your pain. I hope you have an understanding partner as it can be very difficult. You are not alone but I do know it often feels that way. Try to stay calm and make some time for yourself x
