It takes a SuperWoman to know a SuperWoman!!! I don't mean to offend anyone with that ..I hope no one takes it that way...I just mean that we as women seem to take on the roll (especially if we have kids too) this Super Woman mentality...We show no pain, we clean houses in a single bound, we are faster than a speeding bullet in our vans full of kids taking them to practice somewhere..and in our spare time we cook dinner, make lunches, go to all the school functions, volunteer for everything CAUSE THIS STUPID DISEASE WILL NOT BRING ME DOWN!!! Right?? LOL...I know ..I have been and done that for years...but lately I can't seem to hide it so well...and people are looking into my eyes instead of seeing what I want them to see or what they choose to see...a healthy (haha) woman...NOT...any of my real friends or family that care can see right through it all...and after they did..I wondered..why did I not tell them before now..maybe I wouldn't have suffered so greatly if I agreed that I had this disease..and knew that I had limitations..and that my family would still love me even if I didn't do everything in a single bound..It was OK to bounce along and do it at a pace where I didn't hurt as much and that if I asked there were many that would help...And you know what..they all still love me for me..sick or not..Your True at heart friends will always be there..they will not even have to ask how you are they will know..same with family...It took me 17 years to realize this so I am hoping that some of you won't become the broken woman that I have become...I am allowing, in spite of myself, others to help me! Whew...that was rough to say ...but we still can be super women ...just in a more supportive way and by learning to show our families that there are ups and downs but that we can make it through it all with the love of each other...I hope you all look at your lives..find those people that know you better than you are letting on..pull them in and allow them to help and support you ....then maybe your life will feel complete and you will not find all the stress you are feeling now...go to endo research and get the "survivor letter"and copy it and give it to all your friends and family...the ones that care will call or write you back and say..thank you for letting me see what you feel like ...and what can I do to help...My support and love is here for you all...love Angel
