An Invisible Illness

Both of these articles brought tears to my eyes. Last night I took some high end prescription sleeping pills just to fall asleep. Contemplated taking the bottle (as I do always) in an attempt to end it, but like a good little girl, I just took one and laid down to wait for it to take effect.

Endo is no way to live! I am lucky to be so blessed with so many people who are supporting me and helping me move towards feeling better physically and mentally. I have a wonderful team of doctors, gyns, dieticians, psychologists, psychiatrists, and surgeons who are committed to my health and so many family and friends who have my back the whole way because I finally ASKED FOR HELP and let them in. Many women aren't so lucky and are either too ashamed to ask for help, or they don't have help available.
