What Endometriosis wish to tell you
Endometriosis is the formation of a multitude of mucosal fragments outside the uterine wall. It results in inflammatory pain due to bleeding.
These fragments spread to the ovaries, uterine ligaments and peritoneum, among other places and can also sometimes migrate to other organs.
The uterus is made up of a mucous membrane called the endometrium which forms monthly (cycles) to receive the egg, if fertilization occurs and allow it to develop.
Women with Endometriosis may report fertility problems (30-40%).
What's the message of the Endometriosis, then?
Endometriosis can be related to the unconscious avoidance of motherhood: it's as if I can't welcome this baby properly into my home - my baby's nest is somewhere else.
Often also, the relationship I have or have had with my mother is in conflict with who I am and where I want to be in this world.
I feel like I don't have the strength to stand up and assert myself and experience failure. I become aggressive because I know I am holding myself back, having difficulty focusing on my goals.
You can ask yourself the following questions:
(These questions are only suggestions, but they can help you to understand what's going on)
Am I carrying negative beliefs about myself, doubting my ability or my role as a mother?
Could it be that I have any doubts about my relationship?
Am I afraid to bring a baby into this home, that the family I am going to give my child is not perfect, that it is not good enough?
Do my aspirations and my life as a couple make me worry that a child will change everything in my life?
Do I have some kind of difficulty accepting the world I live in, being afraid of bringing my baby into this world?
Am I afraid already that I'll have to leave my child outside my home often and/or for long period of times?
I understand that this message is quite strong - though could it be that Endometriosis is here to remind you of what's really important in your life - making yourself your very own priority?!
If this resonates with you, start to repeat this every day, in order to help you through this process:
"I accept the relationship between my fears, doubts, uncertainty and the situation I am experiencing and I decide to express openly how I feel. I recognize who I am. I'm here for a reason and I respect myself."
