LOSING IDENTITY: There’s a sadness to the enforced change of lifestyle that endometriosis so often involves. I used to run; I particularly enjoyed endurance events such as Tough Mudder. The worsening of my condition meant that one day this tough, driven, hardworking outgoing girl was suddenly metamorphosed into a crying heap of helplessness. I didn’t know who I was anymore. My fitness friends were no longer around and I missed their social interaction. I was also unable to work and it’s only when our ability to work is taken away from us do we realise how important work is to our sense of self.
