Hi Joy-
Boy does this sound familiar, endo started to drive me crazy. I fell into
depression and crying was a daily occurence. I broke down at work a few
times, but if the people you work and live with are educated about the
disease they are pretty understanding. Take your time off and enjoy- you
deserve it!
