I may be smiling... but I'm still in pain 💔
Pain doesn't have a look when you life your life in chronic pain.
It becomes your new normal, and you mask to get through each day without the unhelpful questions.
I'm thankful to all those around me who enable me to feel 'normal' to be included.
Living with is isolating and it gets exhausting explaining what's actually happening so it's easier to mask it all.
Thank you for the glimmers of happiness allowing me to laugh and share your joy 😊
It means the world in something as shattering as the realities of living with 🎗💛

Only once before have I read something and it sung so true to me ... that was when I read what endometriosis was 💔
This hit different -
I've been experiencing these symptoms oncoming for the last maybe two years.
I was isolating then as they came up and thought maybe something was happening with my bowels or with my back as the pain got worse and worse.
But this made it all click and make sense 👏
Thank you for this God send of a post 🙏
Helped me realise I wasn't going crazy, what I am experiencing is a thing 💜
Thank you for sharing more educational information because even when you've been diagnosed for years, you still feel misunderstood 💔

Within the next 6 months, this is going to be what I face again ... *xcisionsurgery
This will be my 3rd surgery since my diagnosis,
So, 3 surgeries in 7 years 😭
-
Although I am this side of a diagnosis, that doesn't mean that the battle to fight for my health has stopped. It's taken a lot of strength and energy to be in this position 💪 MANY hospital trips for bloods, scans, reviews, and consultations you name it . Fighting for better when you are just makes it worse, almost like the system isn't there to help you 💔
will be something I live with forever, yes, but not something I let get the better of me 🎗

Being a patient with patients is difficult 🙃
-
Waiting for answers to gain a bigger picture of what's happening is best for me right now ✅️
However in the mean time - it's a waiting game
The pain management continues, even though things get worse.
The management of yourself increasingly gets harder as you take more on as the battle between head 🧠and heart takes place daily 💔
The brain space 🧠 that Endometriosis occupies seems to get bigger as things progress, meaning it gets a little more difficult to manage seamlessly 😳
Tracking everything constantly 🙄
How's many times I go for a wee/void each day
My moods/pain/emotions- its all valuable but exhausting 😔
Being in this body I sometimes feel resentful of it, but then quickly remember that that gets me nowhere and the best way forward is to show it love and appreciation for what it is and what it goes through each day 💛💖
-
All in all leading through life as 'normal' in between everything is hard - but you have to remember to look after yourself and not push or punish your body
Be patient and answers will come and a path forward will be revealed ✨️

To those going through a hard time, whatever your battle may be, don't be scared to reach out 💓

Loving a body that causes you so much pain is hard. Trying to embrace the changes on the inside and out is something you never quite get used to before it changes again. Your normal is never stable.
The scars from multiple surgeries, the bruises, and the sensitive skin from hot water bottle burns. The brain fog from the constant fatigue or painkillers literally dulling your receptors. The ache, the random blinding stabing pain that makes you freeze. The bleeding and blaoting.
These are reminders of your daily battle with
But also all of the physical and emotional abuse that your body puts itself through is a daily stands for what you've already been through and how you are combating it all in your stride. Don't ever forget your strength 💪
-
All of us with just have a little more daily baggage to carry with us. On some days it's heavier than others, but we pick up and carry on all the same 🙌✨️
-
Stay strong 💪

Happy 🫶
-
Here I am perched upon my coffee table dressed head to toe in yellow 💛✨️

Happy to be a woman living with 🎗

Today I choose to celebrate myself, those around me who are my support network and this community that I treasure 🫶
-
Without any of these I simply wouldn't be the woman I am today; I'm thankful for the encouragement, unconditional understanding & love 🥰
-
This isn't an easy life to figure out at the best of times, and it's further complicated by having this condition 🙃 Yet I wouldn't be the same person I am today without it, so in some kind of backwards way I'm thankful for it. And thankful for my position to be able to help others and educate those around me so that we can build a supportive network 🙌
-
The stigmas surrounding pain, periods and Endometriosis are still a monstrosity - but what it takes is for us to keep eachother united and strong and educated to be able to make a change 🙌
-
Knowledge 🧠 is your ⬆️ power 💪

Who'd think at the ripe old age of 24 I'd be sharing my life with my buddy 😂
Yet here I am

'You're only young you should have loads of energy, get up and go'
Or
'You used to be able to do this'

These are phrases that truthfully haunt me; comes with it's own battlefield of chronic pain that isn't just 'a bad period' or diminished further to 'just endo pain'. It's something that those of us that are living our lives with deal with day in day out 24/7 with no let up, no relief and no release from the irritation and constant pain.

It's bloody hard - and sometimes gets the better of you.

If you see me about and I'm all sunshine and daisies ☀️🌼 don't forget that I also have rainy days 🌧 or grey days 🌚
The expectation of my bouncy bubbley self is one that I try the hardest to uphold in my day to day, but it doesn't mean that its taking up all my effort to do so. Combating everything that the storm cloud that Endometriosis brings is a constant internal battle I face daily.
Sometimes when I only have 10% to give and I give that 10% that is me trying me best 💛
-
Living with is hard, and it's okay to say that too 🫶
Go easy on yourself and be gentle 💛

Just a woman sharing her 🎗
-
It's the time of year again where all the yellow emerges from my wardrobe as it's ... 🎗
Naturally, I'm wearing yellow again (as much as I can) for the entirety of the month to help by sharing my experience with this chronic condition called 🎗✨️
-
Across the month, I'll share some interesting facts and figures as well as my experience/story. My aim is to help educate and raise awareness for what the condition entails, how to manage/cope with it, or help others around you through sharing some advice 🎗
-
It's something we've all heard creep up in conversation in recent years, which has been wonderful to see that advocacy for is working 💪
But there is still a lot of hard work to do ...
-
Therefore, anyone willing to join me in raising awareness and support those living with Endo around you - I encourage you all to just bring some brightness 🌞 into your wardrobe over the month and where some yellow 💛
If you get some questions about why, that's even better ☺️
A little goes a long way ✨️

Reading this today really resonated with me and its wonderful to know you have a community of people out there all with different stories,thoughts and feelings. Yet there's cross over and it feels nice not to feel isolated and lonely ☺️
-
Thank you - you're right it's a sh*tty place to be sometimes ... and we carry on through the pathway of life with alot of extra baggage 🧳 ✨️ not the bestest of vibes at all times but we have to remember we don't have to be the brightest star ✨️ or the ray of sunshine ☀️
-
Being just us, carry our own load is sometimes as much as we can handle ... and that's okay 💕

This➡️ (Swipe to 👀) is the face of a person struggling this week, so I thought I'd share this week's thoughts 💭
-
1• This seems hard
2• I don't like feeling this sad
3•What am I actually crying over?
4• Where did this spot apper from?
5• I'm shattered but can't sleep - to uncomfortable
6• Penguin waddle
7• This isn't meant to hurt this much, but I'm fine
8• Everyone assumes I'm still a ray of sunshine, but in truth I feel like a hurricane
9• Am I more difficult to be around ?
10. Keep going,hopefully, adjustments will happen
-
Starting hormone treatments again after 2 years of letting my body do it's thing is proving to be exhaustive 🤯
I'm trying to hold it together really well, but the truth is I don't feel like the typical ray of sunshine I usually am ... more like a hurricane 🌀
One minute I'm giggly, next I'm angry then sobbing over quite literally nothing and then happy crying because someone was too nice to me. I'm frustrated that I'm so uncomfortable and so unsure of myself.
-
I'm hopeful that this is just the first bumpy phase before things begin to level out but double doses of is proving to be intense 😳
-
PS: Apologies for anyone around me rn, still adore you all promise 🫶

Heavy Pain Days 💔
-
The mixture of & is not fun 😔 to look at me on the outside you wouldn't think thats what was going on but yea ... it is 💔
-
Helloooo 👋 it's been a while since I've written on here... and that's basically because I've been trying hard to enjoy day to day life without the interference of these yet recently thats become increasingly more difficult 💔 playing the ignorance is bliss card isn't working much for me anymore
-
Earlier in the year I took a tumble down some stairs at work, and after a few days off seemingly bounced back. Truthfully I knew quite a few things felt different but wasn't ready to accept that the less painful part of day to day life might be changing. Living in the still 🙄
-
Every month my periods have become worse 🙃 annnddd I've been getting maybe 2 a month and the pms is baaaddd 🫣 plus alongside that have been experiencing

What is it ?? 🤔
Pelvic organ prolapse is when 1 or more of the organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and bulge into the va**na/vulva.
-
Symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse symptoms include:

•a feeling of heaviness around your lower tummy and ge****ls

•a dragging discomfort inside your va**na

•feeling like there's something coming down into your va**na – it may feel like sitting on a small ball

•feeling or seeing a bulge or lump in or coming out of your va**na

•discomfort or numbness during s*x

•problems p*eing – such as feeling like your bladder is not emptying fully, needing to go to the toilet more often, or leaking a small amount of p*e when you cough, sneeze or exercise (stress incontinence)
-
So currently in the midst of going back to the GP with updated (and more truthful) symptom list 🤗 and awaiting further instructions/info on my gastroenterology & pain clinic referrals
-
The journey is an ongoing one ... and sometimes its hard to be truthful with the one that matters most ... YOU 🤍
-
Appreciate your body,and it'll appreciate you 🤍
-
My new mantra going forward 🙌 ✨️

- Natural Self Appreciation -
-
Today I celebrate a whole year of being completely hormone free !!
A whole year of letting my body be its most natural self 🌼
-
I'm proud of the steps I'm taking, steps I've taken and the steps that are to continue me on my journey with 🎗
-
At this point in time this feels what's best for me. To re-learn what my pain feels like, to experience and sit with it in all its authenticity. To re-learn a body that didn't feel like mine after the trauma of the second had been a journey of a lot of harsh truths to realise, but she now feels like home 💛
-
Do what feels right and best by you always 🎗🌼💛

Thank you for providing a space and support where I could be and feel authenticity beautiful ❤
