Re: 'Feeling VERY alone'From: Ainslie (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat Oct 21 11:28:48 2006
Shell, I have been going through the same feelings. My life totally changed when I found out about my endo. You are NOT alone! Do not give up because there is so much more to life than this pain you are going through right now. I wish I could talk to you in person and give you the biggest hug ever. My whold life fell like it was falling apart. I had no support from the person I wias with during this time and he left. I have had to take each day slowly and remind myself that this will pass. There is a plan for your life and this is only a tough part. If you ever need to talk, please write me.
