I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to live
I didn’t expect to find myself here again—past breaking point. Endometriosis is causing such intense pain and struggle that it’s leading me to feelings of despair and suicidal thoughts. This is a deeply personal issue rarely discussed openly. Having seen statistics and stories of women who have lost their lives due to this condition, I want to share my experience to let anyone else suffering know they’re not alone. Together, we can keep going.

I thought hard about how to define the journey of diagnosis, the physical pain and mental toll of endometriosis, and the one thing they all had in common — how alone you can feel in it.
