I know there are a lot of big fans and people who encourage me to rethink things.
But I sometimes found it hurtful that people reacted.
Some people don’t hesitate to give their opinion and advice when they don’t really know what you’re going through.
I talked a lot about something that is deeply personal and something that many people don’t want to talk about. The only thing I asked is that people respect my decision.
I wish there was a higher level of conversation about endometriosis awareness. This is a problem that can affect my life on a very deep level.
What I find more problematic is when I try to explain my decision and how it relates to my personal journey with endometriosis. People confuse the issues and are quick to ignore my reality and vulnerability, preferring to talk entirely about tennis.
I find it stimulating to talk about endometriosis.
I like to share my experience so that others facing similar challenges don’t feel alone. At the same time, you’re also exposing yourself to vulnerability around a topic that can be difficult to talk about.
Like me, there are many women and people whose goal is to have children. It’s difficult when you’re constantly challenged on this issue, especially publicly.
At a press conference a few days ago, someone asked “what would change your mind?”
I found myself once again explaining how I had undergone several surgeries and consulted several medical professionals.
Doctors advised me to start my pregnancy journey as soon as possible, given the severity of my endometriosis.
Through this experience, I discovered that most people are not very empathetic towards the struggles that others are going through.
On the other hand, I have found incredible support from different groups and from other women dealing with endometriosis. The sweet messages, encouragement and support do not go unnoticed. Without this support, sharing my journey would be a dead end.
Unfortunately, many people don’t understand the challenges women with endometriosis face.
That’s why I want to start my own charity to help give women with endometriosis and other women’s health conditions the support they need.
