Endometriosis and me
For 31 years, I have been a warrior against endometriosis. This disease has profoundly impacted my life, career, relationships, and confidence. Since the age of 13, I found myself sidelined from many activities my peers enjoyed, as my life became centered around managing pain and being housebound.
My journey mirrors that of many others with endometriosis: being ignored by medical professionals, gaslit about my own body, and told that I was imagining my symptoms. Sadly, this is a common experience, with statistics showing that 78% of women with endometriosis are told they are fabricating their illness and pain.
Despite chronic pain that restricted my ability to go out, walk, and fully live, I refused to let it stop me. I channeled my energy into learning and self-growth. Fast forward 19 years, and here I am, having made the choices necessary to live my life fully, rather than merely observing others. I moved across the country on my own and started a new life by the beach. Some might call it luck, but it was my deliberate actions and choices that brought me here.
I practice Positive Psychology daily. I harness my strengths, cultivate resilience, and ensure that I am prepared to face challenges head-on. Now, I am dedicated to supporting others with endometriosis, helping them to grow, live, and thrive despite their chronic illness.
