I'm having a rough day today. Woke up with some major stomach cramping and nausea. This is the second time this week I've pretty much stayed in bed all day with the exception of going to acupuncture this morning. I'm really frustrated with myself lately as well. I haven't been eating well and I think that's the problem and why my pain has been more severe then normal. I've been really stressed out with my job and other areas of my life and I deal with all the stress by eating junk. I just feel like an idiot sometimes because it seems I can't take proper care of myself even when I know I should especially with having endo. I just woke up from a nap and am going to go on a walk. It's so nice out and I could use the exercise even if it's just around the block a few times. I ate well today too and I know I have to keep it up. Bleh I just struggle with this stuff and I struggle with the emotional impact of having endo too. Today I just feel really really overwhelmed. Thanks for letting me vent.

If it makes you feel any better, based on your previous and current photos, I have a wee non-lesbo girl crush on you!

Paint - you don't have to have it *all* together all the time! I still beat myself up when I let things slide because I don't feel well, but I try not to beat as hard. It'll get better, and you'll be a lot more religious about the things you need to do to feel better, and the next time things seem to fall apart, you'll have the habits already in place and it won't seem like as much of a struggle. It'll get better!

I'm the master of beating myself up and trying to have it together all the time. Thanks for the reminder Karen and the encouragement. Thanks hellsbells. That made me smile.  |

You are occasionally allowed to completely wallow in self pity, eat crap (which sometimes feels like a self-hug) and just generally do-what-the-hell-you-feel-like-doing. Then you get back on the horse.

Thanks Chicago gal. I'm glad I have all of you ladies. I feel like I'd be lost if I didn't. Today's just one of those days. I'm sure tomorrow will be better. I took a hot bath and a muscle relaxer so that will help with the pain. Gotta love my naive boyfriend. I talked to him tonight and he was like I wonder why you are in so much pain. Wanted to slap him right then and there, but I didn't. He just doesn't get it. It's another night of Netflix for me. |

lol you guys my husband said to me once "get off the pity potty" and now whenever I see "pity party" it makes me smile. I think, in his family, that was the expression lol!
me too paint, I'm overwhelmed and halfway through the week I run out of steam. I dont want to cook, clean, eat healthy, or give a sh!t, and I always have too just do nothing and make myself calm down about it. Being stressed and down on yourself is just as bad for you as junk food (in my opinion) and yeah we all need a boost whether it's a cookie, a cocktail, or just a few minutes of peace and quiet. Don't be too rough on yourself! *hugs* Pretty

Paint I am a huge sinner when it comes to the self beatings, and have honestly set myself back health-wise and mental health-wise by trying to do what I think I should be doing before I'm ready. I'm a much happier person now because I indulge myself a little and let the negative feelings wash over me but try not to let them stick. Just think of it as part of healing. Slob out and when you feel better you'll be more than ready to pick up the things you've had to let slide for a few days. Endo is notorious for doing this to us. Allow yourself this little thing |

Paint, I hope you're feeling a bit better today. Don't worry about falling off the wagon a bit and eating junk - it happens to us all. Don't be hard on yourself, just accept it then move on, that's the best we can do with this damn illness!! |

Blah. I have a UTI. I've been feeling like I might get one for about 2 weeks because of various bladder issues but it's kicked off this evening. I also threw up twice which I don't think has anything to do with the UTI but it was still horrid  I'm hoping that I can shake it before tomorrow as if it gets much worse I know I'll be off work because it hits me so hard and I really don't want to do that. Going to drink loads of water and sit on a hot water bottle and hope I don't puke again!! |
