"Luckily my teacher allowed me to go to the bathroom" teachers have to let you go to the bathroom. I just want to interject that because it's important. About endometriosis, I struggled with symptoms for years and even asked my doctor about it but she told me I didn't have it and didn't really do the tests. I only got diagnosed recently at 23. Before that, one of the most difficult things for me was that people never really believed me that my periods were really bad and really made me ill. Thankfully both my parents were very supportive and always let me stay home from school for at least two days or more every single month, when I was young. I had a high school gym teacher (yes a man) who told us on the first day of classes that he would never let the "excuse" of being on our period fly in his class and I remember crying later at home because I felt like such a baby for not managing to do things on my period when other girls could. I used to be ashamed of not handling my periods and tell people that I was otherwise sick lots of times. Also, I thought sex was supposed to hurt the first couple times and would get better with practice. My boyfriend was really worried of hurting me and didn't want to do anything that hurt me, so we didn't try the "practice until it feels better" route that I wanted to do. And now I know that it's not in fact normal and is in fact endometriosis that causes that pain, so I'm really glad that we didn't. I did still want sex tho and we ended up trying different positions and things that felt better. I also ended up talking to my obgyn about it. I'm sharing this even tho it's intimate because maybe someone who reads it also has the same struggle. I think it's important that we teach people that sex isn't supposed to hurt and that you don't have to power through if it does cause you any pain. Yes the first times can be a little uncomfortable or there might be a bit of pain at first but it's not supposed to hurt a lot Talk to your partner about it. Talk to your doctor. It may feel uncomfortable and weird to talk about something so intimate but it is important. And there are possibilities that it gets better or goes away.
Yes I agree! Teacher should let you go to the bathroom but unfortunately there are some teachers who don’t let you. That’s also why talking about endo is so important and teachers should be aware of it too! Especially male teachers Thank you so much for sharing your story and experiences 💛 I’m really sorry that you had to suffer with these symptoms as well and people didn’t take your pain seriously. It’s difficult when you’re not able to do normal things because of your period and it’s even more hard when you don’t know why this happens. I’m really glad that you finally got your diagnosis and hope you’ve found ways to treat your symptoms! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about sex as well. It is really important that we talk about it too as endometriosis can affect on your sexuality and also the relationship with your partner. Sex after all is a lot more than just the intercourse which can cause pain when you have endo. It’s not supposed to hurt like you said. I think forcing yourself to do it even when you’re experiencing pain can be traumatic and cause you not wanting to have sex. Talking about it with your partner and doctor is so important! Happy to hear you have a supportive partner and you’ve found ways that feel better. And thank you again for sharing this! Hearing this was helpful and I’m going to talk about this with my doctor on my next appointment.
Love your beautiful spreads and thank you for sharing your personal story. I'm sorry you suffered for so long. I couldn't agree more with @bloomanddot's comment. It's a poor reflection on how women's physiology is still globally under-researched (whether it's menstruation, menopause, hormones, etc.) and can lead to years of misdiagnosis before getting the right treatment. Thank you for highlighting this!
Happy to hear you enjoyed it and thank you so much for the kind words! Yes that is definitely true and there’s still a lot to learn about women’s physiology. It’s really sad that many women have to suffer with their symptoms for years and misdiagnosis can be very dangerous in some cases!
As always I love your videos, Tea, and it's so awesome that you're using your platform to spread awareness about the condition. I know it takes approximately 10 years in average for a woman to be diagnosed and that's just incredibly unfortunate. It just again shows how women's health isn't always taken as seriously and issues like that don't get enough research and information isn't spread as widely even for people in developed countries. Thank you for being so open and sharing your story!
Aww thank you Mihaela! Your support means a lot to me ❤️ I definitely agree with you and really hope that spreading awareness about this kind of diseases will help other women. Living in a depeloped country which has free health care system is a privilege which I’m very grateful for. I can’t imagine how much more difficult it is to get medical help in some other countries especially if you’re a woman.
@@Teanbujo A friend of mine has endometriosis and she was in the ER multiple times being told by [male] doctors that she just has a normal period, that she should take some ibuprofen and should stop overreacting because nothing was showing up in the ultrasound. And that's in Germany. It took years for her to get taken seriously. It's actually shocking. But anyway, not to go off too much. It's so great that you were able to get help and that you can have a much higher quality of life now, that's all that matters!
@@bloomanddot that must have been very difficult for your friend. It’s definitely shocking and also very upsetting as I’m sure that there are many women who have had the same experience. It shouldn’t be this difficult to get the doctors to believe you or get the help you need. Good to hear your friend did get help eventually and hopefully she’s now doing okay!
My dear, I will say that your representation of this painful and personal topic is so elegant & beautiful. Hearing your story brought tears to my eyes because it was as if I was hearing my own. My story is too long to share here, but I may do so for next month. I am so sorry you suffered for so long, but I am glad that you have a resolution. Thank you for spreading this awareness because unfortunately, we are not alone and more women should be aware of this.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback and sharing your thoughts! I’m really sorry that you have went through this as well. Being in pain for such a long time without diagnosis is difficult and finding answers shouldn’t be this hard. I hope you’re doing okay and have found a treatment that helps with the symptoms 💛 and I agree with you, spreading awareness is very important and I hope we wouldn’t have to suffer as long in the future.
Thank you for spreading awareness about endometriosis through your journal and experiences! It's incredibly important for people to be diagnosed early and correctly. I hope more and more people get the help they deserve without having to be embarrassed or shamed. We need more positivity and awareness around women's health. Thank you again, Tea🌸🌹🌺
Thank you so much for the lovely comment and sharing your thoughts ❤️ I agree with you, it’s important that people are diagnosed early and we definitely need more awareness about women’s health! Talking about our experiences is the first step and hopefully getting help would be easier in the future
Great theme. Women's health issues need advocates. Good for you for being brave and deciding to tackle this topic. I guess we all have to deal with our own health issues, but I'm sorry you had such an extended and painful ordeal with this. Very pretty layouts for March. ❤
Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment ❤️ I agree, we definitely need to talk more about women’s health issues as there are so many different ones and endo is just one of them!
I'm so glad you are sharing your story. I don't have endometriosis, but after my first pregnancy I got what is known as an endometrial implant in the subcutaneous layer of my Caesarean scar. It grew to the size of a strawberry and would hurt really bad around my period. The doctor was not convinced it was related to my period because it was clearly not near my uterus. Ultrasound showed this little lump and a specialist diagnosed it straight away. It was caused by a few cells from my uterus being left behind during the Caesarean, and they just grew into a lump. I had to have minor surgery to get rid of it. It was only a little lump but it caused a lot of pain and it has always made me a lot more aware of what those with full blow endometriosis.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and story as well! Good to hear that the specialist was able to diagnose it and you’re now doing better. I’m sure it was painful and you’re right that only a little lump can cause a lot of pain. With endometriosis you can have just tiny spots of it growing which can be extremely painful and only be seen in the surgery. Anyways I had never even heard about endometrial implant before so I think we need more awareness about pregnancy recovery as well. Thank you again for sharing your story!
I love this theme! I have a channel focused on bullet journaling and social justice, and so I love seeing other artists raising awareness in their videos :) Keep it up!
Happy to hear you like it and thank you so much ☺️ combining bullet journaling and social justice sounds like a great idea! And yes I love seeing others raising awareness in their videos as well. Art is a great way to do that!
Thank you for sharing your story! The execution of your theme is beautiful as always, but I commend you on using your platform to raise awareness about endometriosis! Not only endometriosis but the importance of advocating for yourself when it comes to medical issues. I feel that we often just trust doctors because that's what we've been taught to do, but no one knows your body better than you! You are an inspiration 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving such a kind comment! Reading this made me really happy ☺️ and yes it’s good to trust your gut feeling when it comes to your health. Sometimes it unfortunately takes a lot of persistence to get the help you need
@Teanbujo absolutely! Something very similar happened to my cousin here in the United States. Took her almost three years to recieve a proper diagnosis, but she is doing just fine now 😊
I’m so glad your video showed up as a suggestion for me. Thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness about endometriosis! You are so right that it should be taught in schools and that doctors really should be more aware about it.
Thank you so much for watching and listening! Glad you agree. Maybe that would help to fight the misconceptions about periods and other kinds of things
Your spreads are gorgeous but also thank you for sharing your story!! It must’ve taken quite some courage since anything related to a woman’s reproductive system is so taboo but all the more reason I think it’s important to share and I’m grateful to have learned something unexpected from this video 💛🌻
Thank you so much for the kind comment 💛 happy to hear you like how the spreads turned out and also learned something new. Hopefully woman’s reproductive system wouldn’t be as big of a taboo in the future as we really need more awareness about it!
I have endometriosis too. I admire your courage to share your story. As for me, it was January, 2021 when I was diagnosed. I have been having the symptoms too since highschool... In January, I bled for 15 days, and the dr. also suggested for me to have the surgery. One year later, I'am happy I went through those days... it made me admire myself, surviving the anxiety and pain.
Thank you for sharing your story too. I’m really sorry that you had to deal with the symptoms for so long without the diagnosis as well. Good to hear that you were able to get the diagnosed eventually! Hope you’re feeling better now and treatment has worked for you 💛 I’m also glad that you’ve been able to find something positive about all of this. Endo is tough but so are we, and we should definitely be proud of surviving the difficult times!
Your spread turned out so great! I'm suffering from endometriosis since a cancer op at the age of 18 (2003), where the doctors hurt my uterus. The pain from this was going straight into the endometriosis pain. After 3 years of incredible pain and many different doctor visits, one detected a small cyst and did the surgery. My under belly was completely full of endometriosis cysts. But the hardest pain stayed, so in 2012 my uterus has to be removed because of the endometriosis directly in the muscles of the uterus. Since then there were 4 more surgerys, because the endometriosis had grown again. So, please go to the Gyn once a year and take endometriosis seriously!
Thank you so much! I’m really sorry that you had to suffer with pain for so long and your situation got worse. It must have been very difficult for you and probably still isn’t easy. Endometriosis is difficult illness and you never know when it grows back so it’s important to take it seriously like you said. Thank you so much for sharing your story as well and highlighting the importance of going to the gyn regularly! It’s really important and can help to catch the endo growth early.
Absolutely love your spreads and appreciate you bringing awareness to endometriosis. It runs in my family and have always thought women were so strong for all the shit they have to deal with, periods only make us stronger. Thank you for sharing your story through your art. ❤️
I’m glad you like how they turned out! Sorry to hear it runs in your family too. Dealing with periods and other symptoms is tough. But like you said periods do make us stronger! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about this ❤️
I hope you are now feeling better than ever after going through all of that! I love that your theme was so personal, and that you shared your story with us. I had experienced undiagnosed pelvic pain for a decade and only in the last few years was able to get to the point of not always being in pain. It was hard to not give up, especially when doctors were not taking me seriously and were dismissing my symptoms as part of my menstrual cycle or telling me I had UTIs even when my tests were negative. Any one who is experiencing pain and discomfort do not give up! You know your body more than anyone else and you deserve to live your life pain free.
Yes I’m definitely feeling a lot better thankfully! Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your experience as well. It’s really sad to hear that doctors didn’t take your pain seriously and I’m sure it was very difficult for you. I totally agree with you! You should always trust to your own feelings and gut when it comes to health. No one should be living with severe pain and I really hope doctors will take us more seriously so people wouldn’t have to silently suffer. Hope you’re feeling better now too and wishing you all the best 💛
Sending you lots of love. The setup was gorgeous. I really love what you did, and I think I'm gonna try to recreate some of the layouts, maybe on a grayscale palette since I just got a set of gray washi tapes. Anyway, I just wanted to say how great it is you've taken time off your month to educate your viewers on such an important topic that I don't think we ever hear of enough. I hope you're doing better and keep on improving with time. I hope you get to a peaceful resolution about whether or not you'd like to try to have children. It's a tough decision, and I wish you get the clarity you might need for it.
Happy to hear you like the setup! I’m sure it would look great with grayscale palette as well and hope the layouts will work well for you if you end up trying them. Thank you so much for the kind comment and wishes 💛 It means a lot and I really appreciate it!
I just found this video, thank you for sharing your story, very clear and quiet, while we are looking at your hands making your bujospreads, very soothing. As a medical doctor I am sad to agree with other commenters that it is absolutely unbelievable that womens physiology and medicin is still so unknown and underestimated. Very important to keep spreading your story.
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your kind words ❤️ yes it’s really sad how little we know about womens physiology! Hopefully we can change that in the future so everyone would be able to get treatments they need without suffering for years
I have had endometriosis for the last 12 years and I am finally having a full hysterectomy on the 23rd of this month. It took so long to get the diagnosis. I agree there should be more information on this disease out there!!
Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling with this disease as well and that it took long to get diagnosed. Great that you’re getting the hysterectomy! Hopefully it will help with the symptoms, and sending good luck for the surgery and recovery process 💛
Thank you Thea for sharing your story. It is so important. Your spreads are beautiful. From a person who hade a long journey to get diagnosed with PCOS I can only agree that we need to break all the tabus regarding female health and start to talk about it as normal as any other diagnosis
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I’m really sorry that you went through a long journey to get diagnosed as well. It shouldn’t be this difficult. We definitely need more awareness about female health and also PCOS! Hopefully talking about it openly will be the first step of a change. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience!
Such a beautiful set up. I absolutely love the combination of the flowers and medical stuff. I am so glad you shared your story and that you were able to find the root cause of your pain. I have PCOS, which is recurring ovarian cysts and it took so long to get anyone to believe how much pain I was in. ER doctors always acted as though I was just there to get pain meds. I am unable to take hormones due to other endocrine disorders so I just have to roll with it. My first daughter took a long time to conceive (at 32yo) but my 2nd happened so much faster than expected.
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you like it and thanks for sharing your story as well. I think we definitely need more awareness about pcos and other illnesses. It’s frustrating when doctors don’t believe you or take your pain seriously. I’m sorry that you had that experience as well. Happy to hear you were able to still have kids! Hopefully there would be some non hormonal treatments for pcos too in the future and wishing you all the best 💛
You aren’t an over reactor… I DID have to have my uterus taken out because of my endometriosis! (But that was many many years after being diagnosed and trying the meds you speak of that stopped my periods. ) Glad you are on the right path for you now!! 💕
Yes we definitely aren’t over reactors! Having this illness is tough. Going through the surgery to remove your uterus must have been difficult for you. I really hope it has helped with the symptoms and that you’re doing okay now! Wishing you all the best 💕
Thank you so much for the kind wishes and for sharing your thoughts ❤️ I definitely agree with you and that’s also why I wanted to make this video! Hopefully in the future these things will be talked about even more
Gorgeous spreads for a difficult topic that definitely needs more awareness. 🌹 For years I had to take a week off from school every single month. And was just told it was a family thing. Also I was raised Christian and it was seen as a punishment for the whole garden of eden situation. So i never looked into it. Last couple of years it’s gotten better or maybe I’m just used to being in pain since i’ve been in pain every single day for years now (general pain, not period pain). I really think I should still get it checked out since we still don’t know why I’m in pain so who knows maybe this is part of it.
Thank you so much ❤️ I’m really sorry that you have experienced painful periods and other symptoms as well. I think many women’s health issues aren’t taken seriously because of the garden of eden situation as women’s pain can often be seen as a punishment like you said. Having pain every day must be very tiring and I think getting it checked out would be a good idea as it’s not normal! Endo can cause general pain as well so it might be part of it. I just added some links in the description box where you can find more info, so maybe check those out and see if they would be helpful! Sending you lots of love and strenght, and I hope you can find some answers soon 💛
Aww thank you so much Brenda ❤️ I really appreciate your kind words! And yes I think personal themes are always special and art is a good way to spread awareness too ☺️
Very informative! I had recently heard aboit endomytriosis, but more in connection with how difficult it can be to get doctors to believe in the existence of the pain. Therefore I am glad, that you did not have to go through this as well, since it was bad enough. You are also a very talented artist!
Yes, unfortunately I have heard many stories like that too. I wish it wouldn’t be like that because having pain is difficult enough. Hopefully spreading awareness would help with this issue! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words 💛
Your spread is beautiful and I'd totally pay you to make one for me 😌 Your story is heartbreaking but fortunately you had a great support system and doctors who came through for you. Thank you for sharing awareness about endometriosis 🙏🏽loool I love how you said people shouldn't give you advice you didn't ask for 😂🌻💐🌹
Thank you so much for the kind words 💛 I really appreciate it! Yes I’m very grateful for that. It can be a lot more difficult to get help for this disease in other countries. And haha I felt like that needed to be said 😂 Some people don’t understand this illness or know about it enough, and still try to give advice lol
Besides your subtle and beautifully meaningful set up, thank you very much for sharing your story 🌷 It is not easy to talk about intimate matters but you did great and probably help lots of your followers 👏
Thank you so much for all the kind words ❤️ happy to hear you like the setup! And yes I think these things are always important to talk about, hopefully this video has been helpful to the people watching 😊
Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. I have a friend with the condition who was bounced around from doctor to doctor before a diagnosis... one even telling her, in her mid-teens... to "have a baby it will solve everything". She had enough sense not to listen to him and when to a gynecologist who diagnosed her straight away. She has since had a beautiful child... in her thirties. Your video has reminded me of her courage also. I agree that doctors don't listen to women's pain. I have arthritis, which took twenty years to be diagnosed because I was told I was too young. I now tell my daughter to always talk about things and that I will always believe her. As soon as I finished watching your story I went straight to my daughter to discuss the condition. She agrees that it should be spoken about in schools. Thank you also for sharing your beautiful journal and artistic talent. Stay safe 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and leaving such a lovely comment! I can’t believe a doctor said that to your friend. So unprofessional! It’s very unfortunate that women are often told that having a baby would cure their diseases when that’s not true. I’m glad your friend was able to get her diagnosis and she was still able to have a child! Sorry to hear that your pain wasn’t taken seriously and it took so long to get diagnosed. It’s really sad that doctors didn’t believe you because you were younger than people usually are with that illness. Sounds like you’re amazing mother and it’s great that you talk about these things with your daughter ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Stay safe too! 🥰
Such beautiful spreads and thank you so much for sharing! I only learnt about endometriosis last year when a friend of mine was experiencing the symptoms but struggled with the GP listening to her and was told that she was just experiencing ‘painful periods’ ☹️
Thank you so much and glad you like the spreads! Really sorry to hear that your friend’s pain wasn’t taken seriously 😕 It must have been very frustrating for her and it’s so sad that many women have had similar experiences. I hope she’s doing okay now and has found treatment for her symptoms!
@@Teanbujo yes it was very frustrating for her! But she’s doing much better - fortunately! Agreed, it’s so sad that others really have to struggle with this without support ☹️ hope that by bringing more awareness to these hidden struggles, it will help others take it more seriously!
Tää teema on niin kaunis 😍 Vielä enemmän silti tykkäsin kuunnella sun tarinaa tosi tärkeestä aiheesta! Arvostan tosi paljon sitä, että haluat puhua tästä avoimesti! Tuntuu, että naisten sairauksista, kuukautisista ja seksuaalisuudesta puhutaan aina tosi varovaisesti, jos ollenkaan ja nää aiheet on yleisesti tabu. Selkeästi myös naistenvaivoja tutkitaan paljon vähemmän, jatkuvasti kuulee kuinka ajatellaan tosi pahojen kipujen olevan normaalia elämää kun ollaan totuttu vähättelyyn ja myös muiden tietämättömyyteen aiheesta. Tää video inspiroi mua myös varaamaan ajan gynelle ja itseasiassa se olikin tosi hyödyllinen käynti haha 😁
Kiitos paljon Tiina ❤️ Oon samaa mieltä, että nää aiheet on melko tabu ja sen takia niistä pitäis puhua enemmän. Naistenvaivoja pitäis ehdottomasti tutkia enemmän, koska väärät diagnoosit voi olla hengenvaarallisia joissakin tapauksissa ja on surullista, miten moni nainen kamppailee kipujen kanssa eikä heitä oteta tosissaan. Varmasti monilla kynnys hakea apua kasvaa, kun kohtaa vähättelyä jopa lääkäreiltä. Kiva kuulla, että tää video inspiroi ja varasit ajan gynelle! ☺️
Thank you so much for listening and taking the time to leave a kind comment ❤️ means a lot to me! I’m okay now luckily and have been feeling a lot better ever since I got diagnosed ☺️
Oh my God, I didn't know about this. Thank you for raising awareness! I've been having extremely painful periods for years, I would also take medication for 3-4 days, and if I forgot (or e.g. it started during the night), I would cry and wouldn't be able to stand straight. However, I just assumed that it's normal and everyone had it (with the level of pain just varying individually). I don't have periods anymore thanks to the OCP (which was actually a surprising bonus), so I also don't have any pain now, but I wonder if I have the same illness, maybe less severe than yours but still... Oh and your bujo theme is very beautiful, I'm pretty sure it's impossible do design such a theme in a more aesthetic way.
I’m really sorry that you’ve been struggling with similar symptoms as well. Good to hear that you’re now doing better though! I think this shows that we need more awareness about endo and other illnesses. It’s sad that many of us struggle with this for years and some people might not ever get diagnosed. Hopefully we can change that in the future! Thank you so much for sharing your own experiences and also for the kind words 💛 I really appreciate it!
Aww happy to hear you like them and thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ hopefully we wouldn’t have to suffer as long with this kind of diseases in the future!
Aww thank you so much for the kind comment! Hearing that you feel more aware of this illness makes me happy as it was my goal when I was making this video!
ty for sharing your story. i don’t have endometriosis but my lining tends to overgrow and causes me to have painful periods and clotting and heavy periods.
Thank you for sharing your experience as well. We definitely need more awareness about other gynecological diseases and problems. I’m really sorry that you struggle with painful and heavy periods as well. It’s difficult and I hope there are some treatments that could help with that too!
I love all of your spreads. They are always sooo beautiful!.... I experience extremely painful periods, I have constant bloating and I have had some very not so good experiences with getting extremely bad pain during sex also in the same areas of where you would get pain during your period. Ive been with my boyfriend for 14 years. My boyfriend has always thought that I have endometriosis because of how painful my periods have always been but I never been diagnosed with it. Thank you for sharing something soo personal, knowing more information on endometriosis is very helpful. A lot of what you were talking about and writing down in your Journal I have experienced lot of throughout the years, this is going to make me talk to my doctor about endometriosis and the things that I've experienced. I love your videos and love your channel! I look forward to each of your videos! ❤❤
I’m really sorry that you have experienced similar symptoms as well. It can be very difficult and bloating is so uncomfortable. Your symptoms definitely sound familiar and that they might be caused by endometriosis so talking about that with your doctor sounds like a good idea. Sending you lots of hugs and I really hope that you’ll find treatment and some answers as well ❤️ it’s good to hear that you have a supportive boyfriend who understands your pain. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences with me! You’re definitely not alone with this. Thank you for the kind words as well 💕 hearing that this video was helpful and having your support means a lot to me!
At first i had a wild guess that ur theme is about puberty or something like that. Your story reminds me of my very first period at 10. At that time i thought i was gonna die soon🤣🤣🤣
Oh gosh, there would be so many awkward stories about puberty 😂 definitely don’t miss being in that age lol. I’m sure it must have been confusing and scary that you got your first period so early too!
Thank you so much for watching! And yes I felt like this was important to share as this disease needs to be talked about more. Hopefully this can be helpful for someone who might be struggling with this as well!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words 💕 Happy to hear you like my art and the mood tracker! This mood tracker is my favorite because I can use just one pen to fill it in ☺️
I have most of these symptoms but I don't have it. I also have birth control that lets me have my period every 3 to 4 months(this month I'm supposed to get it 😞) But yeah, it's sad how we women are often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed with it at all.
I’m really sorry that you have suffered with these symptoms as well. Periods are the worst when they’re painful so sending you lots of hugs ❤️ I agree with you, it’s so sad that women are often told painful periods are normal and they have to fight to get the diagnosis.
I drew the color strips on my iPad with an app called procreate! I just drew lines first and then used a color drop tool to color them in. I’m sure you could do this with computer as well!
What a wonderful(ly tragic) story thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in my mid teens i was placed on hormones. i was The Pill of 8 years before i wanted to have children (that is another story), 13 years after my endo diagnosed i was also diagnosed with PCOS. being on female hormones (and pregnant/ breastfeeding) for so long had meant that it never fully developed. I have had 3 laparoscopies to remove cysts in my ovaries, tubes and intestines. I also have a family history of breast cancer and should have NEVER been on The Pill. i was given the option to have an IUD. this was surgically removed in December and i have one period since. My OBGYN wants me to have 3 periods before we make anymore decisions (hysterectomy or uterine ablation) Neither will CURE my Endo and PCOS but i will no longer have periods. Who said being a woman was easy??? Good luck with your journey. And Happy International Woman's Day for tomorrow (8th March) xx
Thank you so much for sharing your story as well. Having pcos and endo at the same time must be quite difficult. Happy to hear you were able to have kids still! Sounds like you have severe endo as well and hopefully the hysterectomy would help with that if you end up getting it. Thank you for also bringing up the link between the pill and breast cancer. It should be talked about more and we really need other ways to treat the endo because being on the pill doesn’t work for everyone. I’m really sorry your family has history with breast cancer. It’s difficult to watch your close-ones going through that. Wishing all the best for your family and your journey as well 💛
Sorry to hear it hasn’t worked great for you 😔 I use the 10 thickness and that’s more opaque than the smaller ones. I think the lighting can make it look more bright in the videos as well. Uniball signo white gel pen is more opaque so maybe you could try that next 🤔
"Luckily my teacher allowed me to go to the bathroom" teachers have to let you go to the bathroom. I just want to interject that because it's important.
About endometriosis, I struggled with symptoms for years and even asked my doctor about it but she told me I didn't have it and didn't really do the tests. I only got diagnosed recently at 23. Before that, one of the most difficult things for me was that people never really believed me that my periods were really bad and really made me ill. Thankfully both my parents were very supportive and always let me stay home from school for at least two days or more every single month, when I was young.
I had a high school gym teacher (yes a man) who told us on the first day of classes that he would never let the "excuse" of being on our period fly in his class and I remember crying later at home because I felt like such a baby for not managing to do things on my period when other girls could. I used to be ashamed of not handling my periods and tell people that I was otherwise sick lots of times.
Also, I thought sex was supposed to hurt the first couple times and would get better with practice. My boyfriend was really worried of hurting me and didn't want to do anything that hurt me, so we didn't try the "practice until it feels better" route that I wanted to do. And now I know that it's not in fact normal and is in fact endometriosis that causes that pain, so I'm really glad that we didn't. I did still want sex tho and we ended up trying different positions and things that felt better. I also ended up talking to my obgyn about it. I'm sharing this even tho it's intimate because maybe someone who reads it also has the same struggle. I think it's important that we teach people that sex isn't supposed to hurt and that you don't have to power through if it does cause you any pain. Yes the first times can be a little uncomfortable or there might be a bit of pain at first but it's not supposed to hurt a lot Talk to your partner about it. Talk to your doctor. It may feel uncomfortable and weird to talk about something so intimate but it is important. And there are possibilities that it gets better or goes away.
Yes I agree! Teacher should let you go to the bathroom but unfortunately there are some teachers who don’t let you. That’s also why talking about endo is so important and teachers should be aware of it too! Especially male teachers
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experiences 💛 I’m really sorry that you had to suffer with these symptoms as well and people didn’t take your pain seriously. It’s difficult when you’re not able to do normal things because of your period and it’s even more hard when you don’t know why this happens. I’m really glad that you finally got your diagnosis and hope you’ve found ways to treat your symptoms!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about sex as well. It is really important that we talk about it too as endometriosis can affect on your sexuality and also the relationship with your partner. Sex after all is a lot more than just the intercourse which can cause pain when you have endo. It’s not supposed to hurt like you said. I think forcing yourself to do it even when you’re experiencing pain can be traumatic and cause you not wanting to have sex. Talking about it with your partner and doctor is so important! Happy to hear you have a supportive partner and you’ve found ways that feel better. And thank you again for sharing this! Hearing this was helpful and I’m going to talk about this with my doctor on my next appointment.
Love your beautiful spreads and thank you for sharing your personal story. I'm sorry you suffered for so long. I couldn't agree more with @bloomanddot's comment. It's a poor reflection on how women's physiology is still globally under-researched (whether it's menstruation, menopause, hormones, etc.) and can lead to years of misdiagnosis before getting the right treatment. Thank you for highlighting this!
Happy to hear you enjoyed it and thank you so much for the kind words! Yes that is definitely true and there’s still a lot to learn about women’s physiology. It’s really sad that many women have to suffer with their symptoms for years and misdiagnosis can be very dangerous in some cases!
As always I love your videos, Tea, and it's so awesome that you're using your platform to spread awareness about the condition. I know it takes approximately 10 years in average for a woman to be diagnosed and that's just incredibly unfortunate. It just again shows how women's health isn't always taken as seriously and issues like that don't get enough research and information isn't spread as widely even for people in developed countries. Thank you for being so open and sharing your story!
Aww thank you Mihaela! Your support means a lot to me ❤️ I definitely agree with you and really hope that spreading awareness about this kind of diseases will help other women. Living in a depeloped country which has free health care system is a privilege which I’m very grateful for. I can’t imagine how much more difficult it is to get medical help in some other countries especially if you’re a woman.
@@Teanbujo A friend of mine has endometriosis and she was in the ER multiple times being told by [male] doctors that she just has a normal period, that she should take some ibuprofen and should stop overreacting because nothing was showing up in the ultrasound. And that's in Germany. It took years for her to get taken seriously. It's actually shocking. But anyway, not to go off too much. It's so great that you were able to get help and that you can have a much higher quality of life now, that's all that matters!
@@bloomanddot that must have been very difficult for your friend. It’s definitely shocking and also very upsetting as I’m sure that there are many women who have had the same experience. It shouldn’t be this difficult to get the doctors to believe you or get the help you need. Good to hear your friend did get help eventually and hopefully she’s now doing okay!
My dear, I will say that your representation of this painful and personal topic is so elegant & beautiful. Hearing your story brought tears to my eyes because it was as if I was hearing my own.
My story is too long to share here, but I may do so for next month.
I am so sorry you suffered for so long, but I am glad that you have a resolution. Thank you for spreading this awareness because unfortunately, we are not alone and more women should be aware of this.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback and sharing your thoughts! I’m really sorry that you have went through this as well. Being in pain for such a long time without diagnosis is difficult and finding answers shouldn’t be this hard. I hope you’re doing okay and have found a treatment that helps with the symptoms 💛 and I agree with you, spreading awareness is very important and I hope we wouldn’t have to suffer as long in the future.
Thank you for spreading awareness about endometriosis through your journal and experiences! It's incredibly important for people to be diagnosed early and correctly. I hope more and more people get the help they deserve without having to be embarrassed or shamed. We need more positivity and awareness around women's health. Thank you again, Tea🌸🌹🌺
Thank you so much for the lovely comment and sharing your thoughts ❤️ I agree with you, it’s important that people are diagnosed early and we definitely need more awareness about women’s health! Talking about our experiences is the first step and hopefully getting help would be easier in the future
Great theme. Women's health issues need advocates. Good for you for being brave and deciding to tackle this topic. I guess we all have to deal with our own health issues, but I'm sorry you had such an extended and painful ordeal with this. Very pretty layouts for March. ❤
Thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment ❤️ I agree, we definitely need to talk more about women’s health issues as there are so many different ones and endo is just one of them!
I'm so glad you are sharing your story. I don't have endometriosis, but after my first pregnancy I got what is known as an endometrial implant in the subcutaneous layer of my Caesarean scar. It grew to the size of a strawberry and would hurt really bad around my period. The doctor was not convinced it was related to my period because it was clearly not near my uterus. Ultrasound showed this little lump and a specialist diagnosed it straight away. It was caused by a few cells from my uterus being left behind during the Caesarean, and they just grew into a lump. I had to have minor surgery to get rid of it. It was only a little lump but it caused a lot of pain and it has always made me a lot more aware of what those with full blow endometriosis.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and story as well! Good to hear that the specialist was able to diagnose it and you’re now doing better. I’m sure it was painful and you’re right that only a little lump can cause a lot of pain. With endometriosis you can have just tiny spots of it growing which can be extremely painful and only be seen in the surgery. Anyways I had never even heard about endometrial implant before so I think we need more awareness about pregnancy recovery as well. Thank you again for sharing your story!
I love this theme! I have a channel focused on bullet journaling and social justice, and so I love seeing other artists raising awareness in their videos :) Keep it up!
Happy to hear you like it and thank you so much ☺️ combining bullet journaling and social justice sounds like a great idea! And yes I love seeing others raising awareness in their videos as well. Art is a great way to do that!
Thank you for sharing your story!
The execution of your theme is beautiful as always, but I commend you on using your platform to raise awareness about endometriosis!
Not only endometriosis but the importance of advocating for yourself when it comes to medical issues. I feel that we often just trust doctors because that's what we've been taught to do, but no one knows your body better than you!
You are an inspiration 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving such a kind comment! Reading this made me really happy ☺️ and yes it’s good to trust your gut feeling when it comes to your health. Sometimes it unfortunately takes a lot of persistence to get the help you need
@Teanbujo absolutely! Something very similar happened to my cousin here in the United States. Took her almost three years to recieve a proper diagnosis, but she is doing just fine now 😊
I’m so glad your video showed up as a suggestion for me. Thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness about endometriosis! You are so right that it should be taught in schools and that doctors really should be more aware about it.
Thank you so much for watching and listening! Glad you agree. Maybe that would help to fight the misconceptions about periods and other kinds of things
Your spreads are gorgeous but also thank you for sharing your story!! It must’ve taken quite some courage since anything related to a woman’s reproductive system is so taboo but all the more reason I think it’s important to share and I’m grateful to have learned something unexpected from this video 💛🌻
Thank you so much for the kind comment 💛 happy to hear you like how the spreads turned out and also learned something new. Hopefully woman’s reproductive system wouldn’t be as big of a taboo in the future as we really need more awareness about it!
I have endometriosis too. I admire your courage to share your story. As for me, it was January, 2021 when I was diagnosed. I have been having the symptoms too since highschool... In January, I bled for 15 days, and the dr. also suggested for me to have the surgery. One year later, I'am happy I went through those days... it made me admire myself, surviving the anxiety and pain.
Thank you for sharing your story too. I’m really sorry that you had to deal with the symptoms for so long without the diagnosis as well. Good to hear that you were able to get the diagnosed eventually! Hope you’re feeling better now and treatment has worked for you 💛 I’m also glad that you’ve been able to find something positive about all of this. Endo is tough but so are we, and we should definitely be proud of surviving the difficult times!
Your spread turned out so great! I'm suffering from endometriosis since a cancer op at the age of 18 (2003), where the doctors hurt my uterus. The pain from this was going straight into the endometriosis pain. After 3 years of incredible pain and many different doctor visits, one detected a small cyst and did the surgery. My under belly was completely full of endometriosis cysts. But the hardest pain stayed, so in 2012 my uterus has to be removed because of the endometriosis directly in the muscles of the uterus. Since then there were 4 more surgerys, because the endometriosis had grown again. So, please go to the Gyn once a year and take endometriosis seriously!
Thank you so much! I’m really sorry that you had to suffer with pain for so long and your situation got worse. It must have been very difficult for you and probably still isn’t easy. Endometriosis is difficult illness and you never know when it grows back so it’s important to take it seriously like you said. Thank you so much for sharing your story as well and highlighting the importance of going to the gyn regularly! It’s really important and can help to catch the endo growth early.
Absolutely love your spreads and appreciate you bringing awareness to endometriosis. It runs in my family and have always thought women were so strong for all the shit they have to deal with, periods only make us stronger. Thank you for sharing your story through your art. ❤️
I’m glad you like how they turned out! Sorry to hear it runs in your family too. Dealing with periods and other symptoms is tough. But like you said periods do make us stronger! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about this ❤️
I hope you are now feeling better than ever after going through all of that! I love that your theme was so personal, and that you shared your story with us. I had experienced undiagnosed pelvic pain for a decade and only in the last few years was able to get to the point of not always being in pain. It was hard to not give up, especially when doctors were not taking me seriously and were dismissing my symptoms as part of my menstrual cycle or telling me I had UTIs even when my tests were negative. Any one who is experiencing pain and discomfort do not give up! You know your body more than anyone else and you deserve to live your life pain free.
Yes I’m definitely feeling a lot better thankfully! Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your experience as well. It’s really sad to hear that doctors didn’t take your pain seriously and I’m sure it was very difficult for you. I totally agree with you! You should always trust to your own feelings and gut when it comes to health. No one should be living with severe pain and I really hope doctors will take us more seriously so people wouldn’t have to silently suffer. Hope you’re feeling better now too and wishing you all the best 💛
Sending you lots of love. The setup was gorgeous. I really love what you did, and I think I'm gonna try to recreate some of the layouts, maybe on a grayscale palette since I just got a set of gray washi tapes. Anyway, I just wanted to say how great it is you've taken time off your month to educate your viewers on such an important topic that I don't think we ever hear of enough. I hope you're doing better and keep on improving with time. I hope you get to a peaceful resolution about whether or not you'd like to try to have children. It's a tough decision, and I wish you get the clarity you might need for it.
Happy to hear you like the setup! I’m sure it would look great with grayscale palette as well and hope the layouts will work well for you if you end up trying them. Thank you so much for the kind comment and wishes 💛 It means a lot and I really appreciate it!
I just found this video, thank you for sharing your story, very clear and quiet, while we are looking at your hands making your bujospreads, very soothing.
As a medical doctor I am sad to agree with other commenters that it is absolutely unbelievable that womens physiology and medicin is still so unknown and underestimated. Very important to keep spreading your story.
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate your kind words ❤️ yes it’s really sad how little we know about womens physiology! Hopefully we can change that in the future so everyone would be able to get treatments they need without suffering for years
I have had endometriosis for the last 12 years and I am finally having a full hysterectomy on the 23rd of this month. It took so long to get the diagnosis. I agree there should be more information on this disease out there!!
Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling with this disease as well and that it took long to get diagnosed. Great that you’re getting the hysterectomy! Hopefully it will help with the symptoms, and sending good luck for the surgery and recovery process 💛
Thank you Thea for sharing your story. It is so important. Your spreads are beautiful. From a person who hade a long journey to get diagnosed with PCOS I can only agree that we need to break all the tabus regarding female health and start to talk about it as normal as any other diagnosis
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words! I’m really sorry that you went through a long journey to get diagnosed as well. It shouldn’t be this difficult. We definitely need more awareness about female health and also PCOS! Hopefully talking about it openly will be the first step of a change. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience!
I agree I was diagnosed with Pcos last year after suffering for years.
@@ThekocholateJournalist sad to hear that you share that experience
It definitely all makes sense now.
Such a beautiful set up. I absolutely love the combination of the flowers and medical stuff.
I am so glad you shared your story and that you were able to find the root cause of your pain. I have PCOS, which is recurring ovarian cysts and it took so long to get anyone to believe how much pain I was in. ER doctors always acted as though I was just there to get pain meds. I am unable to take hormones due to other endocrine disorders so I just have to roll with it. My first daughter took a long time to conceive (at 32yo) but my 2nd happened so much faster than expected.
Thank you so much! Happy to hear you like it and thanks for sharing your story as well. I think we definitely need more awareness about pcos and other illnesses. It’s frustrating when doctors don’t believe you or take your pain seriously. I’m sorry that you had that experience as well. Happy to hear you were able to still have kids! Hopefully there would be some non hormonal treatments for pcos too in the future and wishing you all the best 💛
You aren’t an over reactor… I DID have to have my uterus taken out because of my endometriosis! (But that was many many years after being diagnosed and trying the meds you speak of that stopped my periods. )
Glad you are on the right path for you now!! 💕
Yes we definitely aren’t over reactors! Having this illness is tough. Going through the surgery to remove your uterus must have been difficult for you. I really hope it has helped with the symptoms and that you’re doing okay now! Wishing you all the best 💕
Thanks for sharing! I think part of the problem it's the silence, if we speak more, others will see themselves and act faster. Wish you the best❤
Thank you so much for the kind wishes and for sharing your thoughts ❤️ I definitely agree with you and that’s also why I wanted to make this video! Hopefully in the future these things will be talked about even more
Gorgeous spreads for a difficult topic that definitely needs more awareness.
🌹
For years I had to take a week off from school every single month. And was just told it was a family thing. Also I was raised Christian and it was seen as a punishment for the whole garden of eden situation. So i never looked into it.
Last couple of years it’s gotten better or maybe I’m just used to being in pain since i’ve been in pain every single day for years now (general pain, not period pain). I really think I should still get it checked out since we still don’t know why I’m in pain so who knows maybe this is part of it.
Thank you so much ❤️ I’m really sorry that you have experienced painful periods and other symptoms as well. I think many women’s health issues aren’t taken seriously because of the garden of eden situation as women’s pain can often be seen as a punishment like you said. Having pain every day must be very tiring and I think getting it checked out would be a good idea as it’s not normal! Endo can cause general pain as well so it might be part of it. I just added some links in the description box where you can find more info, so maybe check those out and see if they would be helpful! Sending you lots of love and strenght, and I hope you can find some answers soon 💛
Beautiful, Tea ~ both the journal & your willingness to share your story. 🌸
Happy to hear you like it and thank you so much for watching and leaving such a lovely comment ❤️
🌺❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for sharing your story! I think the topic is a great idea for a BUJO theme. You handled it nicely! 🫂🫂🫂❤️✨
Aww thank you so much Brenda ❤️ I really appreciate your kind words! And yes I think personal themes are always special and art is a good way to spread awareness too ☺️
Very informative! I had recently heard aboit endomytriosis, but more in connection with how difficult it can be to get doctors to believe in the existence of the pain. Therefore I am glad, that you did not have to go through this as well, since it was bad enough.
You are also a very talented artist!
Yes, unfortunately I have heard many stories like that too. I wish it wouldn’t be like that because having pain is difficult enough. Hopefully spreading awareness would help with this issue! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words 💛
Your spread is beautiful and I'd totally pay you to make one for me 😌 Your story is heartbreaking but fortunately you had a great support system and doctors who came through for you. Thank you for sharing awareness about endometriosis 🙏🏽loool I love how you said people shouldn't give you advice you didn't ask for 😂🌻💐🌹
Thank you so much for the kind words 💛 I really appreciate it! Yes I’m very grateful for that. It can be a lot more difficult to get help for this disease in other countries. And haha I felt like that needed to be said 😂 Some people don’t understand this illness or know about it enough, and still try to give advice lol
Besides your subtle and beautifully meaningful set up, thank you very much for sharing your story 🌷
It is not easy to talk about intimate matters but you did great and probably help lots of your followers 👏
Thank you so much for all the kind words ❤️ happy to hear you like the setup! And yes I think these things are always important to talk about, hopefully this video has been helpful to the people watching 😊
Thank you for your bravery and willingness to share your journey as well as your beautiful art. You have helped many♥️!
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback ❤️ it means a lot to me!
Thank your for sharing your story and help educate others on this topic! You did so very beautifully and eloquently ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. I have a friend with the condition who was bounced around from doctor to doctor before a diagnosis... one even telling her, in her mid-teens... to "have a baby it will solve everything". She had enough sense not to listen to him and when to a gynecologist who diagnosed her straight away. She has since had a beautiful child... in her thirties. Your video has reminded me of her courage also. I agree that doctors don't listen to women's pain. I have arthritis, which took twenty years to be diagnosed because I was told I was too young. I now tell my daughter to always talk about things and that I will always believe her. As soon as I finished watching your story I went straight to my daughter to discuss the condition. She agrees that it should be spoken about in schools. Thank you also for sharing your beautiful journal and artistic talent. Stay safe 💐🌸💮🏵🌹🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and leaving such a lovely comment! I can’t believe a doctor said that to your friend. So unprofessional! It’s very unfortunate that women are often told that having a baby would cure their diseases when that’s not true. I’m glad your friend was able to get her diagnosis and she was still able to have a child!
Sorry to hear that your pain wasn’t taken seriously and it took so long to get diagnosed. It’s really sad that doctors didn’t believe you because you were younger than people usually are with that illness. Sounds like you’re amazing mother and it’s great that you talk about these things with your daughter ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Stay safe too! 🥰
Such beautiful spreads and thank you so much for sharing! I only learnt about endometriosis last year when a friend of mine was experiencing the symptoms but struggled with the GP listening to her and was told that she was just experiencing ‘painful periods’ ☹️
Thank you so much and glad you like the spreads! Really sorry to hear that your friend’s pain wasn’t taken seriously 😕 It must have been very frustrating for her and it’s so sad that many women have had similar experiences. I hope she’s doing okay now and has found treatment for her symptoms!
@@Teanbujo yes it was very frustrating for her! But she’s doing much better - fortunately! Agreed, it’s so sad that others really have to struggle with this without support ☹️ hope that by bringing more awareness to these hidden struggles, it will help others take it more seriously!
Tää teema on niin kaunis 😍 Vielä enemmän silti tykkäsin kuunnella sun tarinaa tosi tärkeestä aiheesta! Arvostan tosi paljon sitä, että haluat puhua tästä avoimesti! Tuntuu, että naisten sairauksista, kuukautisista ja seksuaalisuudesta puhutaan aina tosi varovaisesti, jos ollenkaan ja nää aiheet on yleisesti tabu. Selkeästi myös naistenvaivoja tutkitaan paljon vähemmän, jatkuvasti kuulee kuinka ajatellaan tosi pahojen kipujen olevan normaalia elämää kun ollaan totuttu vähättelyyn ja myös muiden tietämättömyyteen aiheesta. Tää video inspiroi mua myös varaamaan ajan gynelle ja itseasiassa se olikin tosi hyödyllinen käynti haha 😁
Kiitos paljon Tiina ❤️ Oon samaa mieltä, että nää aiheet on melko tabu ja sen takia niistä pitäis puhua enemmän. Naistenvaivoja pitäis ehdottomasti tutkia enemmän, koska väärät diagnoosit voi olla hengenvaarallisia joissakin tapauksissa ja on surullista, miten moni nainen kamppailee kipujen kanssa eikä heitä oteta tosissaan. Varmasti monilla kynnys hakea apua kasvaa, kun kohtaa vähättelyä jopa lääkäreiltä. Kiva kuulla, että tää video inspiroi ja varasit ajan gynelle! ☺️
Dear Tea, thans you for you story! I hope that your oke for now! I listend very silent and with tears in my eyes.
Thank you so much for listening and taking the time to leave a kind comment ❤️ means a lot to me! I’m okay now luckily and have been feeling a lot better ever since I got diagnosed ☺️
Oh my God, I didn't know about this. Thank you for raising awareness! I've been having extremely painful periods for years, I would also take medication for 3-4 days, and if I forgot (or e.g. it started during the night), I would cry and wouldn't be able to stand straight. However, I just assumed that it's normal and everyone had it (with the level of pain just varying individually). I don't have periods anymore thanks to the OCP (which was actually a surprising bonus), so I also don't have any pain now, but I wonder if I have the same illness, maybe less severe than yours but still...
Oh and your bujo theme is very beautiful, I'm pretty sure it's impossible do design such a theme in a more aesthetic way.
I’m really sorry that you’ve been struggling with similar symptoms as well. Good to hear that you’re now doing better though! I think this shows that we need more awareness about endo and other illnesses. It’s sad that many of us struggle with this for years and some people might not ever get diagnosed. Hopefully we can change that in the future! Thank you so much for sharing your own experiences and also for the kind words 💛 I really appreciate it!
@@Teanbujo thank you too ❤️
Love your spreads and thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Im sorry that you suffered for so long. Thank you again for sharing.
Aww happy to hear you like them and thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ hopefully we wouldn’t have to suffer as long with this kind of diseases in the future!
Thank you for sharing your story!! I definitely feel more aware of such an illness. Your journal is also beautiful!!
Aww thank you so much for the kind comment! Hearing that you feel more aware of this illness makes me happy as it was my goal when I was making this video!
Thank you for sharing your story and insight on this illness and enjoy you creative bujo 💙
Thank you so much for watching and listening ❤️ I really appreciate it!
Thx for sharing. I hope you recover well both body and mind. :)
Thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you for sharing your story and giving encouragement! 🌻💐

thank you for sharing this personal story. i think it will help a lot of people xx
Glad you think so and I really hope so too! Thank you so much for watching 💕
Love your beautiful setup. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so sorry you suffered for so long.
Aww thank you so much 💛 I’m really glad you like it and appreciate your kind words!
You're welcome!! Thank you for bringing awareness.
🌸🌸🌸 Thank you for your story and your courage in telling your story. best wishes for a long and successful treatment plan.
Thank you so much for the kind words and wishes 💕 I really appreciate it and it means a lot!
ty for sharing your story. i don’t have endometriosis but my lining tends to overgrow and causes me to have painful periods and clotting and heavy periods.
Thank you for sharing your experience as well. We definitely need more awareness about other gynecological diseases and problems. I’m really sorry that you struggle with painful and heavy periods as well. It’s difficult and I hope there are some treatments that could help with that too!
Very beautiful and very important information, thank you 🌼
Glad you think so! Thank you so much 💛
I love all of your spreads. They are always sooo beautiful!.... I experience extremely painful periods, I have constant bloating and I have had some very not so good experiences with getting extremely bad pain during sex also in the same areas of where you would get pain during your period. Ive been with my boyfriend for 14 years. My boyfriend has always thought that I have endometriosis because of how painful my periods have always been but I never been diagnosed with it. Thank you for sharing something soo personal, knowing more information on endometriosis is very helpful. A lot of what you were talking about and writing down in your Journal I have experienced lot of throughout the years, this is going to make me talk to my doctor about endometriosis and the things that I've experienced. I love your videos and love your channel! I look forward to each of your videos! ❤❤
I’m really sorry that you have experienced similar symptoms as well. It can be very difficult and bloating is so uncomfortable. Your symptoms definitely sound familiar and that they might be caused by endometriosis so talking about that with your doctor sounds like a good idea. Sending you lots of hugs and I really hope that you’ll find treatment and some answers as well ❤️ it’s good to hear that you have a supportive boyfriend who understands your pain. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences with me! You’re definitely not alone with this. Thank you for the kind words as well 💕 hearing that this video was helpful and having your support means a lot to me!
Thank you so much for sharing your story 🌻
Thank you for watching and listening! 💛
Thank you for sharing your story ❤
At first i had a wild guess that ur theme is about puberty or something like that. Your story reminds me of my very first period at 10. At that time i thought i was gonna die soon🤣🤣🤣
Oh gosh, there would be so many awkward stories about puberty 😂 definitely don’t miss being in that age lol. I’m sure it must have been confusing and scary that you got your first period so early too!
Oh my gosh thank you for sharing your story! This is such a beautiful theme and I am so glad they were finally able to figure out what was going!❤️
Thank you so much for watching and listening ❤️ happy to hear you like how the theme turned out as well!
Thankmyou for sharing. ♥️
Thank you so much for watching and listening! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your story along with your plan with me to bring awareness to endometriosis.
Thank you so much for watching! And yes I felt like this was important to share as this disease needs to be talked about more. Hopefully this can be helpful for someone who might be struggling with this as well!
Thanks for sharing your story 🌼 also I love your art style. I haven't seen a mood tracker like yours before, it's really cool!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words 💕 Happy to hear you like my art and the mood tracker! This mood tracker is my favorite because I can use just one pen to fill it in ☺️
🌸🌺 it is amazing for you to share your experience so honestly. You did an amazing theme and an amazing job, thank you so much
Aww thank you so much for watching and for the kind feedback as well ❤️ I really appreciate it!
🌸Thank you for your story.
Thank you for watching and listening! 💕
I have most of these symptoms but I don't have it. I also have birth control that lets me have my period every 3 to 4 months(this month I'm supposed to get it 😞) But yeah, it's sad how we women are often misdiagnosed or not diagnosed with it at all.
I’m really sorry that you have suffered with these symptoms as well. Periods are the worst when they’re painful so sending you lots of hugs ❤️ I agree with you, it’s so sad that women are often told painful periods are normal and they have to fight to get the diagnosis.
@@Teanbujo thanks
I love this so much
I’m really glad you like it! Thank you so much ❤️
Thanks for sharing your story. How did you make the color strips?🌺🌹🌸
Thank you so much for watching and listening! ❤️
I drew the color strips on my iPad with an app called procreate! I just drew lines first and then used a color drop tool to color them in. I’m sure you could do this with computer as well!
What a wonderful(ly tragic) story thank you for sharing. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in my mid teens i was placed on hormones. i was The Pill of 8 years before i wanted to have children (that is another story), 13 years after my endo diagnosed i was also diagnosed with PCOS. being on female hormones (and pregnant/ breastfeeding) for so long had meant that it never fully developed. I have had 3 laparoscopies to remove cysts in my ovaries, tubes and intestines. I also have a family history of breast cancer and should have NEVER been on The Pill. i was given the option to have an IUD. this was surgically removed in December and i have one period since. My OBGYN wants me to have 3 periods before we make anymore decisions (hysterectomy or uterine ablation) Neither will CURE my Endo and PCOS but i will no longer have periods.
Who said being a woman was easy???
Good luck with your journey.
And Happy International Woman's Day for tomorrow (8th March) xx
Thank you so much for sharing your story as well. Having pcos and endo at the same time must be quite difficult. Happy to hear you were able to have kids still! Sounds like you have severe endo as well and hopefully the hysterectomy would help with that if you end up getting it. Thank you for also bringing up the link between the pill and breast cancer. It should be talked about more and we really need other ways to treat the endo because being on the pill doesn’t work for everyone. I’m really sorry your family has history with breast cancer. It’s difficult to watch your close-ones going through that. Wishing all the best for your family and your journey as well 💛

I'm still shook how come your whites always pop out but my gelly roll is so dull 😔
Sorry to hear it hasn’t worked great for you 😔 I use the 10 thickness and that’s more opaque than the smaller ones. I think the lighting can make it look more bright in the videos as well. Uniball signo white gel pen is more opaque so maybe you could try that next 🤔
@@Teanbujo oh maybe it's because mine is thinner 🤔 I also tried the uniball it's a bit better for sure 🥰
