Dear Jessica, I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time. Before I was diagnosed with Endo. I tried the Depo provera and I had the exact problem I bled the entire time I was on it. it was by far one month of H*ll for me also. I know it's hard to see the rainbow through all the fog and rain but believe me it's out there. I know what it is like to struggle with depression I have had my share and some days feel like my world is coming down around me. On the days I can hardly see through my own tears and feel down I turn to my computer and write a journal. I began with the dear journal and now I have began with dear Love as I feel better seeming as if someone or something dealing with love is reading my pain. I let it all out on my journal and then I go back and read it to myself from there I make a hand written list of the things that are good in my life and the ways I can turn the pain into happiness. It helps clear my head. As for the physical pain when I have it which seems often for me lately I turn inward and do that things to my outer self to feel comforted. I take a long hot bath with soft music playing a few candles lit to distract my mind from the pain and to more focus on the flame. We also have a hot tub that has become my escape. There is scented liquids you can buy at any hot tub store that have aloe in them that can also be used in a bathtub. I love the honeysuckle it takes my nose and mind into a spring day of sitting in the sun. These things seem silly and unimportant but trust me anything that can help your mind escape the pains even if it's just for the length of the bath it is worth it. Coming here and unloading also helps me. The responses as I'm sure you know can lift the frown from time to time. Never believe things are impossible. I am so connected to Endo it is not funny. I was put up for adoption as an infant and my adoptive mom adopted me b/c Endo destroyed her uterus and she had a hyst. just 2 months after begin married. B/c of that Endo. I got the worlds greatest mother. I had 5 beautiful boys before my Endo. took me down. I would of done anything to have them but if it would of happened that I didn't have one I would of adopted. I learned one thing this yr. and that was Blood doesn't make a family but love does. I met my birthfamily this summer and I got to see what it meant growing up adopted it defined things in my life that I couldn't see before. So remember if you find yourself unable to have those babies of your dreams that it's not the end b/c you can adopt a baby who will love you the same as your own child could. Hugs Suzanne
