About Me
I'm 19 years old, and I found out I had endo about a year ago. I had a constant battle with doctors two years prior to surgery, trying to tell them that I had endo. No one seemed to believe me. I finally switched doctors, and he didn't question me, he knew that i knew my body and that something was wrong. I was scared, mostly that I might not be able to have children. I thought I was too young to have it. But that is enough about my health. Otherwise, I'm 19 like I have previously stated. I'm a daughter, a sister, a grandaughter, neice, lover, and a friend. I work with a program where I'm an advocate to women and their families, and I love my job. I always try to put my best foot forward and lend a helping hand.

Interests
As far as my interests go, I don't really know what to say. I don't get out as much as the normal teenager. I spend a lot of time at home with my boyfriend and our baby (no not a real one, but our dog..she is like a baby). I enjoy being with my family and my friends as well. I spend a lot of time on the computer talking to old friends and meeting new ones. I enjoy writing poems dispite the fact that I'm not very good at it, but it helps clear my mind. If you want to know anything else, don't hesitate to ask.

Support Groups
Close Endometriosis
I found out I had endometriosis when I was 19. I was pretty scared when I found out. However, the doctors didn't believe me, dispite when I told them when I had my period I had to stay in bed the whole week it hurt so bad. I finally switched doctors and got the surgery done. It was the greatest thing to happen to me ever!!
Treatments
- Surgery Working / Worked
- I was nervous about the surgery. The surgery went well and dr's explained everything. I had endo on my tendons and sacks of it behind my uterus.
Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI was diagnoised with having Depression when I was about 16. It has been an on going battle for the past few years, with ups and downs. I thought if I have depression that makes me crazy, but I learned that it doesn't. I just have a chemcial embalance..I chuckle when I tell me I have that and not depression.
Treatments
- Effexor Not Working
- This medication just seemd to almost put me in a zombie phase. i was always tired and wasnt myself, not the peron who people loved to be around.
Open Eating Disorders
Type: AnorexiaI began having an eating disorder when I was in 8th grade and it lasted until I was probably a Jr. in highschool. I still find myself fighting it on a daily basis. When I'm skinny I feel ugly, when I gain weight I feel fat. I have begun going to talk to people about this in hopes to gain some sort of confidence in myself.
Treatments
- Self-help Working / Worked
- I didn't want to rely on doctors for help, but I do know that I need it. I told myself that I don't want to die from having an eating disorder.
Open Coming Out
i joined this group because a close friend of mine confined in me a few years back that she was bisexual. it was a hard time for her, and i'm just here for support of others who are maybe having a hard time as well.
Open Self-Injury
Wow I'm starting to feel like I'm almost crazy. I used to self-injury myself, until my mom found out. It was hard for me to tell her about it and why I did it. I used to cut myself. I have stopped with the support of family and friends, and it was wonderful. So Im here to support others who want to stop or just need someone to talk to.
Open Family Issues
My parents are divorced, I have step parents, a sister, 2 step brothers, half brother, and half sister...there ARE some family issuses here!
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
I've never myself been physically or emotionally abused. However, I recently got a job as an advocate to battered women and/or men.
Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery
I've been smoking for the past 6 years. Everyone says oh you are young it should be easy for you to quit smoking, but it really isn't that easy. I know the dangers of it, but it is still hard to quit. I'm looking into some different ways to help me quit!
Open Pregnancy
