Sarah: Absolutely you should see a physician to help you deal with this. I started seeing a psychologist approximately 4 years ago, just to deal with the mental issues of having this disease and all the complications it brings to my life. I have been going off and on ever since. A good psychologist can help you work through the psychological, mental and emotional aspects of this disease and all the complications that it brings. It is nothing to be ashamed of. One of the bad doctors that would have let me die when my endo had my ovary, tube and colon all tangled told me I should see a psychologist because he did not believe I was in pain. I yelled at him, "I am seeing one." I knew I needed to when the pain was so bad and everyone thought it was just in my head and would say things like, "Well, sometimes you just have to live with the pain!" I responded, "If I have to live with this bad pain, I don't want to live anymore!" I was walking bent over because I couldn't straighten up. I had to lay down to just relieve the pain and pressure, I couldn't be on my feet. I would get woke up in the middle of the night with pain shooting out of my rectum, (I have endo that attacks the colon, intestines and bowel). To make a long story short, these "in-network" doctors that would not treat me messed up. I knew it when I had to go out-of-network because I was afraid I would die. With the diagnosis, my colon was in danger of rupturing. I could have died. I fought them through my union and I heard today that they won and the insurance company must pay me back my out-of-network money and pay it as in-net-work coverage because they would not treat me. Hallelujiah!! I am justified, it was not in my head. I was beginning to believe everyone and think I was crazy. I was not. Don't give up, a good psychologist can and will help you through this. Don't forget the best psychologist in the world GOD, he works wonders. Between finding a Dr. Psychologist and GOD you will achieve mental and emotional relief. God Bless You All!!

Is there anyone else out there that feels like they are at their emotional limit in dealing with endo? This disease is making me crazy! The continuous birth control pills seem to intensify my emotions which is effecting my relationship with my boyfriend. As a result our relationship is strained. Its not just that having sex is painful, its embarassing! This whole situation is making me insecure about myself... Does anyone see a physician to help them deal with this? Thanks, Sarah
