things have been getting really hard lately. Im not sure why things are the way they are but everything keeps falling apart. Im in constant pain because of endometriosis. I am having nightmares, when i can actually fall asleep. I dont want to do anything anymore, im so tired of the flashbacks. my anxiety is horrible, im constantly having attacks. And on top of everything im living in a house with other people who are depressed and of course im constantly having to be their shoulder to cry on, or take their kids to school, make dinner, etc its to much i need to get away but have nowhere to go or the funds to do so. I have no insurance and cant afford any, so i cant get any help. Im really loosing it!. I havent cut in a little over a month, but now its all i can think about, i just want all the pain, anger, depression, EVERYTHING to stop. Is been almost 2 years since my last attempt at suicide and i want to keep it that way, but i feel like i have no more control. I just need help and i know it. Ds is my only hope right now

" Hi sister.

Hang in there. Endo sucks - I know it does. And worse, it can remind you of other horrible things, and so the cycle continues. Please know you're not alone, Canibefree. {{{hugs to you}}}

Have you looked up community resources in the phone book? You should be able to find a women's shelter where you can move to if you need to get away. If you choose to stay where you are, you may be able to find a local support group - no insurance needed!

Meanwhile, you can vent here anytime you want. We understand. I'm not really good with words, but please know we really do know what it's like to deal with crap. A friend of mine has a phrase that I repeat to myself a lot. I don't know, maybe it will help you sometimes. She simply says, "This too shall pass." When I'm having an awful time and think it will never get better, I repeat that until I remember that all the bad times in the past have passed, and better times follow them. We just have to hang in there in between the better times.

Please try to find some help in the community services, and visit here for lots of hugs.

Blessings for a brighter day,
Wistala "
