Endometriosis and the heartbreak of what you don't hear

"I just want to rip my womb out"
"This is destroying my marriage"
"I have had to give up my job due to fatigue what have people done for work"
"Why isn't Endometriosis considered a disability?"
"Why don't people understand that Endometriosis effects the whole body?"
"The bloating in the picture is me looking 5 months pregnant is anyone else like this?"
"My GP won't refer me to an approved Endometriosis centre for treatment"
"I had to go private."
"I am infertile."
"I can't walk today because of the pain"
'They diagnosed fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue with my Endometriosis"
" Does the pill work for Endometriosis?"
"I want to give up today. Does anyone else feel suicidal"
"Trigger warning this post mentions babies""
"I am sorry I won't make it"
"My bladder, ovaries and bowel are all stuck to one another"

The symptoms of Endometriosis and its cousin adenomyosis is a huge amount of disability. It is not a collection of symptoms it is a daily lived reality to navigate effecting every domain of a person's life. The disability is extensive and yet women are fighting every day for minimal support for a condition that acts like cancer.

I want women to feel seen, heard and understood. Alongside my modular endometriosis protocol I teach assertiveness so that women can feel and gain the necessary support that is a vital part of recovery.

People with endometriosis and adenomyosis are rarely given the mental health support they need. I think mental health professionals are afraid of it seeming like they are discounting the physical experience of these women. In being afraid to treat the mental and the physical the services available to these women let them down. How do I know?

I am a person who was diagnosed late with both conditions. I have extensively fought for myself. I know that both conditions are incredibly complex and they deserve sensitive treatments. I can offer treatments that lead to improved outcomes such as

1. Resolution of grief
2. Reduction in pain
3. Reduction in fatigue
4. Increase in hope
5. Restoration of social connections.

I am waiting for your call. Reach out on 07526-756-527

Language can be a beautiful thing but words are things that put boundaries and lines between things. Some things can't be expressed or free with language and so the only freeing thing is to do is something like this singer. Explore what range you have beyond language and how much opens up and dissolves when you don't have to make sense anymore.

It's Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme for the week is loneliness and how to overcome it. I just love this video from my local community talking about how community gardens have helped them overcome loneliness or cope with mental health.

Gardens were very popular during lockdown for helping people cope. I know I started my own gardening and gardening focused project during that time. Gardening and gardens have helped me process a few deaths during lockdown and health issues too. My favourite part of connecting to nature has been seeing the Robins flit down to get some chunky worms!

Did you start a garden in lockdown? How did it help you?

What is your road map in therapy with me? It is a lot of what you see below. You see underneath the addiction, an eating disorder, low self esteem, weight loss, perfectionism, choosing the wrong partner etc is some or all of what you see below and more.

My job is to investigate with you the things that keep you stuck and give you the tool kit to help you finally stop going in circles. I help you step out of the circle and into your new life.

Life doesn't always prepare us well and therapy can help add back what you didn't get.

Mental Health Day 2020 - let's be kinder

To ourselves when we fall short of our expectations or goals.

When we find ourselves cut off from many of our outlets.

When our families and friends are out of reach and we are worried.

When we have lost jobs and don't know what comes next.

When we have anxieties about our capacities to be parents, lovers, wives, husband's or friends.

When we feel like we are just a child in an adults role.

When we aren't busy.

When we are taking the first steps out of depression or anxiety and it is hard.

When we live with a life limiting disease or disability.

When we believe we have somehow failed at life.

When we are overwhelmed and unkind.

When our behaviour falls short of our expectations.

Let us not push ourselves harder and faster.

Lets love ourselves. We are only human.

Let's love each other and make space for each other because we are human.

Quitting smoking a surprising anti-depressant

You are doing the best you can and you will quit when the time is right, by this most smokers mean calm. But smoking is associated with worse mental health and smoking maintains poor mental health.

Smoking is often used as a tool for avoidance, to reduce anxiety and boost moods. However, evidence shows that those who quit smoking can receive the same benefits as if they took an anti-depressant because depression and anxiety fall after quitting smoking.

Most people do not know about this key piece of information when trying to quit smoking and this often keeps them stuck in a difficult cycle where they smoke to relieve the feelings that smoking creates. HELP your friends and family by SHARING this tip with them, you might just be the person to help motivate them to try in Stoptover quiting for 28 days.

28 days stopped means they have 5x the chance to stay stopped!
