ENDOMETRIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH 2022.

It’s Endometriosis Awareness Month and it is also the month of my excision surgery. I’ve been really struggling with the pain lately, the end belly, the urgency…just all of it combined. My mental health has plummeted because of it and having to try and push myself through the days and that has been beyond difficult and exhausting for me. Of course, all of this has been made even more difficult over the past couple of years because of even more limited help due to the pandemic. 

My life since 2016 has been just trying to get answers for my health and being made to feel like I’ve just lost my fucking mind. I’ve been spoken down to. I’ve been treated like I am overdramatic. I’ve had my body been put through hell and back with invasive tests and pumped with hormones and left to “sort myself out.” There’s no time off…it’s just been chasing for answers, chasing for someone to believe you and trying to understand how this affects so many people yet there’s no education on it. I just don’t know anymore. I’m just really fucking fed up of feeling like shit with not so much support.
