MENTAL HEALTH AND CHRONIC PAIN | The Impact of Endometriosis On Our Mental Health

If no one has told you lately, you matter. Your health matters, your story matters, and your experience with chronic pain matters. I'm proud of how far you've come in your chronic illness journey. You are the one who advocates every day for answers, support, and resources. You are the one who continually puts in the work (all while living with chronic pain and chronic fatigue). Putting one foot in front of the other daily is something to be extremely proud of. I know how some days can be heavier than others. I know the weight that chronic pain can have on our mental health. Know that I see you and am with you every step of the way. This video goes into depth around the ways in which a chronic illness (like endometriosis) can impact ones mental health and wellbeing. From a delayed diagnosis to stigmas and misunderstandings around a disease or illness - there are so many nuanced and individualized ways in which chronic pain can impact our mental health. This video also talks about the diverse ways in which our mental health can be supported (like talking with friends and family, connecting with your doctor for professional support, leaning into the things that bring us joy, or even connecting with virtual support networks to share similar experiences to feel less alone). Know that there are doctors and mental health supports to help you along the way - wherever you are in your chronic illness journey. They are in place to help us through the tough times, the sticky times, and the times that feel uncertain. If something feels off or you just don't feel like yourself, please talk to your doctor or a medical provider to gain tools and techniques to help you through these times. You are SO deserving of this support. Supports The Endometriosis Network Canada (online virtual support groups): https://endometriosisnetwork.com/supp...
