EP.58/ The Impact of Endometriosis on My Social Life and How I'm Learning to Manage It

Life with endometriosis isn’t always easy and it can have a huge impact on a person’s social life.

LISTEN NOW


In the past few years, I’ve really experienced this. Even though I’m doing well in my management of the disease, it admittedly takes a lot of work to be able to do that, and sometimes that has come at the price of my social life.

But I believe that a life filled with joyful moments with the ones we love is possible with endometriosis. It just might look different from your ordinary ‘healthy’ person’s social life. So I’m currently exploring ways to expand and enrich my social life, from sending flowers to cosy nights in.

 

I hope that this episode makes you feel lesson alone, if it feels like endometriosis is taking over your life right now, and that my story gives you some hope.
