I will beat this...

I long for a day when I wake up in the morning and can be carefree... no longer fearing the pain. I crave the happiness and confidence I used to have. I need to find a way to get back to where I was, even if that means crawling all the way there and dragging my body through painful days. I know I can find the will power to do the things I know I should do and take care of this diseased body. I often hate my body for failing me. I fear that I will never be where I want to be.

I need to stop drowning myself in negativity and do something. I need to eat healthier. I need to exercise more. I need to respect myself. I need to climb this mountain that life has inconveniently placed in my path.

To all the ladies suffering... we can and will beat this.

" I know what you are going through, and I've said this before and I'm going to say it again because it rings true:

You cannot know the light without the dark.

Hang in there! Life would not hand you this without a reason.

Stay Gold!!! "

" Great post.
I waver between completely hopeless and knowing I can overcome endo. It is nice to see others feel the same.....

The one thing I think I am learning is that although endometriosis is horrible, it has shown me I am stronger than anyone I know. When things go wrong in my life, I can always say 'Hey, it's better than the endo!"
; )

Thanks for this post. "
