Emotions And Endo

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭
Eustis, FL

I used to think that my sensitive nature and ability to cry at the drop of a some was because I was a highly sensitive person (high empath). However now that I have been diagnosed with Endometriosis I am just curious....i definitely became emotional during a meeting with a co-worker today and just wished i had control.

1. Do women with endo naturally feel more sensitive or emotional?
2. Any tips?

If you use ibuprofem( long term) it affects you emotionally as well, to the point you might even get depression 😖😖😖

Being exhausted and fatigued all the time can affect your ability to control your emotions.

I am called highly emotional for a long time now. But I haven't experienced any compassion or understanding. They just keep on calling me an emotional person, that is not able to control. I try to let them understand it is not only a mental issue, but also fysical. I have lost my uterus and tubes and a piece of my rectum. I did not have any kids. But still there is no compassion at work. Just come and do your job and shut up about your personal things. I just te be some kind of city police officer, but because of my emotions, pain and fysical struggles, I can not do that anymore. So now I am searching for a new job. But being in pain every does not make it very easy. I hoped that surgery would be a relieve, but it was not. I have other issues now. I just to have pain once a month, a lot. Like vomating and crowling over the floor. Now I have pain every day. Not so bad of a pain as it used to be when it was once a month, but enough to get exhausted from it and not being able to go and do nice things like dancing and going out. This all takes a big toll at my emotional well being.

I agree with the above comment I think some of it is being in constant pain and not sleeping well..

I don't know tbh but if endo is linked to a high production of oestrogen, I would blame that hormone!!
