Let’s talk about Gaslighting in Endometriosis.
😷Medical Gaslighting: Runs rampant still to this day. So many doctors and providers
1. Don’t Believe patients
2. Misinform or don’t truly understand this disease
🧑🧑🧒 Friends, Family, Co-workers- minimize our pain, don’t believe we’re suffering, think we’re making up excuses, dismissing us, thinking we’re being dramatic.
🙋♀️SELF GASLIGHTING-probably the worst because all that external gaslighting becomes internalized. We doubt ourselves, we question our feelings, we push through thinking we’re being too dramatic, we blame ourselves.
I’m here to tell you that we believe you, we see you and ITS NOT YOUR FAULT.
