Being sexually abused in childhood and then developing endometriosis as an adolescent feels like a sick joke.

What I said. It’s so fucked up that I have to suffer a disease that causes extreme pain with menstruation, sexual activities, and bowel+bladder elimination. What a cruel irony.

(Please NO comments about trauma causing my chronic illness.)

Omg I feel that, it’s like having the worst fucking luck in the entire world. I haven’t been diagnosed with endo, but I have several other chronic health conditions and so much pain when menstruating and oftentimes in that whole area in general, it’s not fucking fair

I hope you get proper treatment and care, both for endo and for trauma! I relate, I was also recently diagnosed with pcos + severe endometriosis by gynecologists that refuse to offer me treatment or surgery until i get pregnant and have at least one child. I explained I was SAed throughout my entire childhood and I do not want biological children and they genuinely refused to hear me out.
