My Story…

Me :)

My journey with endometriosis has been one of the most challenging experiences of my life. After years of living with unbearable pain and heavy periods that no one truly understood, I was officially diagnosed in 2014 following emergency surgery for a rupturing cyst. That diagnosis brought clarity but also marked the beginning of a long, exhausting battle.  

Living with endometriosis has affected every part of my life. The pain and symptoms—nausea, back pain, fatigue, bloating, and more—often left me unable to function. I’ve had five surgeries, lost an ovary and fallopian tube, and relied on countless medications that came with terrible side effects, including anxiety, brain fog, and even hallucinations. There were days I felt like endometriosis had stolen my life.  But through it all, I’ve refused to let this condition define me. Despite the setbacks—delayed education, missed opportunities, and canceled plans—I’m determined to live fully and pursue my goals. I’ve started making changes to take back control of my life.  I’ve adopted a healthier lifestyle, making small but impactful changes to my diet and habits. I eat nourishing meals every day, drink only water, matcha tea and turmeric latte and focus on foods that fuel my body and mind. I’ve also minimised my reliance on medications, and while I still experience pain, my energy levels and mental clarity have improved significantly.  

Most importantly, I’ve chosen to focus on my future. I am transitioning into a new career as a digital learning designer—a path that excites and inspires me. My struggles have taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of continuous growth. I know this journey won’t always be easy, but I’m ready to face whatever comes my way.  

To anyone else battling endometriosis or other challenges, know this: your pain does not define you. There’s strength in every step forward, no matter how small. Keep going, keep believing, and never stop working toward the life you deserve.
