    It’s been such a depressing journey. Sometimes I honestly think I must be gods strongest soldier because what the heck is even going on.

    There’s times that it gets me down when I realise how much endo has taken over my life, it feels like my 20s are flying by and all I have to show for it is bed rotting and pills 😂.

    I rarely see my friends, my family look at me like I’m broken and don’t even get me started on my love life. The worse one is work, I’ve had to quit because I just couldn’t go in 5 days a week sometimes I feel embarrassed. I’m 24 and an illness takes me out. Without realising I get jealous of other people and I hate that my brain even goes there.

    Honestly feels like I’m just going through the motions of life. If I’m not on my period I’m recovering from the hell of that or I’m on edge because I can feel it coming. It’s just a cycle of pain, tiredness or anxiety.

    My babe 😭 I COMPLETELY get it honestly. I always tell myself if I sit down and actually fully dwell on what I’ve been through from the age of 12 until now almost 27,I genuinely think I’d spiral. Endo has taken up my life and no one truly understands. The random sudden symptoms, the tiredness, brain fog, it’s exhausting.

    You’re still young though, men suck so honestly don’t even be hard on yourself about your love life 😂 work, I get it. I’ve had to quit so many jobs due to how bad my endo is. I hope you’ve applied for financial help though babe you shouldn’t go through anything alone x

    Honestly not fun in the slightest 😂 and I’ve applied for PIP so fingers crossed but if there wasn’t such a supportive endo community I would’ve actually gone crazy 😂🤍
