Suicide Prevention and Resources
On
Thursday December 22, 2012, if you are able 7:00 pm please light a
candle for Endo sister’s everywhere. In the past few days we have had a
sister attempt to end the pain she felt she could not endure any longer.
Endo, as with many chronic illnesses, can have a downward spiral
feeling of negative encounters, doctors that fail us, lack of a support
system and the depression and sheer weight of being in constant pain.
This sister is in her second day of coma.
This is a candle lighting let us come together with positive energy, humility and love for every endo sister. For our fallen angels, our emotionally broken angels, our sisters who have attempted to make the pain seize for them and their loved ones and the ones lost to the pain. For each one of us to have the strength and openness to seek help whether it is in a support group(s), calling a hotline, calling 911, going to the hospital or just being brave enough to tell a trusted loved one how you feel and share your fear. Be honest with the depth of your feelings and fight for yourself and let them fight for you. You are worth fighting for! It may not always be easy to see but someone in this world cares. Don't forget that. Hang on to that, to your support system no matter who it is our how large.
For those seeking support groups please message the Endometriosis Angel and the co-owners will help you find a group that is the best fit for you. There are so many different ones, different sizes, different focuses and different personalities.
If this is not enough support for an increasingly urgent manner don’t hesitate to call for emergency services in your area. Call someone that lives close and make it clear you need them there NOW.
Calling hotlines are an option if you cannot bring yourself to open to family or friends. They are anonymous if you find more comfort in that.

*No one in any of the endo groups are qualified to help you as these resources listed above are. We can offer support, our stories, our love and compassion for you but we are not trained to handle situations that become an issue this strong. This does not mean to stop posting it just mean that we want to help guide you to properly trained people that can offer you much more than we can.
