Thank you for making this film. I watched with my partner. At the end of it I realised he was crying. He said “those women were telling your story”. It took me 24 years to get a diagnosis and he has supported me almost all those years. It’s been a journey to hell and back for both of us. Finally there is some awareness in the community and this film will be a part of that increasing awareness xxx
Thank you for raising awareness for us all, Endosisters. ♥
Thank you for raising awareness, I'm 1 in 10
Tears!
I must be really lucky, I have stage four endo and had excision surgery. The surgeons were amazed how severe my endo was it had grown right through my bowel and bladder and right up to my diaphragm they said I must have been in a lot of pain because it was everywhere. They had to do open surgery because of how it had grown through my bowel and they needed to resection my bowel so it wouldn't cause an obstruction. 16 hours later I came out of surgery and I felt right away that the tightness in my abdomen had been released and it no longer hurt to pee.
But I say I'm lucky because I only have pain with my period. My periods used to be hell vomiting and fainting heavy throbbing legs and back and headaches and stabbing pain on one side but apart from the first 3 days of my period I was fine. I guess it just goes to show that severity doesn't always correlate with pain. My endo was severe but I didn't have many days in pain but I know other women with stage 2 endo that are in pain nearly every day and have more severe pain than I did.
Very good video. More awareness is definitely needed. I am 1 in 10
Thank you for creating awareness.💛
Two dislikes really people?
Beautiful, and dead on. Thank you for sharing MY story, too. ❤
So beautiful ❤️ i am 1 in 10 with endometriosis. Thank you for giving us a voice xx
You're very welcome!! Thank you so much for watching our little film 💛 xoxo
One in nine now, warrior! 💛
Stage 4 and yeah... I watch this a bunch of times to tell me things are going to be ok. I just need to be my powerful self.
I'm sobbing. I needed this today. I always beat myself up for being "lazy" because that's what I'd been told when I was sick my entire life. Diagnosed at 36 very severe endometriosis thru laproscopic excision, 20 years of horrid symptoms and countless er and dr visits. It was all over my organs in my lower cavity. Bowels, rectum, bladder, abdominal wall, organs fused together, lots of DIE. Surgery brought me great relief for 6 months. I hate that I almost died to get diagnosed and no, I cannot have children and had been trying for 8 years 💔
Currently watching this while struggling with endo. Every second of this video is dead on. Every part of it. This is what everyone needs to watch. Especially the families and friends, partners of those who struggle with endometriosis.
Thank you!!! We're so glad it's able to help and create further awareness 💛💛💛 xo
Thank you! This very painful whole body disease can destroy lives.😭Everyone should have to watch your movie.Too many people including doctors have NO idea what influence endometrioses can have on your life.
Thank you for this. There are tears streaming down my face. That is what it feels like. Every. Day. I have not appreciated interpretive dance before today. Thank you.

Thank you for making this film. I’am Endo warrior and keep fighting 💛💪🏼
💛💛💛
I am 1 in 10.
Thank you for making this video! I'm sharing it for Endometriosis Awareness Month.
This is an excellent film. Thank you for giving us women who suffer from this condition a voice to let everyone know what we go through. The emotional pain is as excruciating as the physical pain caused by endometriosis. I will definitely share this.
Endo is breaking me, I really was unbreakable before this. This past year has been devastating
Your first film.Go for it sis!
Just found out your video 🤗
Such a wonderful production, with powerful testimonies.
Thank you so much for this film 🙏
All of you are so inspiring 😇
I often feel very low because of the disease, but I heard "be brave and fight" and it just feels so right ❤️
Just thank you 🙏🎗️💛
What a great film. Brought tears to my eyes as I was diagnosed with stage 4 after being hospitalized many times without luck. I wish more people understood what we go through every day. Please keep spreading the word 🙏🏻❤
Thankyou.
Thankyou ladies, & thankyou film makers for the best explanation of what it is to have/discover you have endometrosis.
Poignant, beautifully understanding & stunningly appropriate imagery.
Thankyou.
Thank you for this. I appreciate the facts and the real symptoms and pain. The graphics were great and really helped visualize the pain. I am stage four, 1 in 10.
Great! We need awareness :)
This is how i feel like every day of my life
I see you, I hear you. I couldn't wait to go through menopause. I had 1 week out of every cycle where I felt like I could function . Don't rely only on the medical system. Natural medicine can help, i helped me deal with my pain, disfunction and every other symptom I had.
Watching this, I didn't shed a tear until they mentioned their support people and I realized I've been doing this alone for 5 years.
I’m so sorry. I was in the same boat until I met my husband. When they mentioned their mothers, I felt happy for them but sad for me. My mother always told me to “suck it up” and that I was being “too sensitive” my whole life. If I had to cancel a social event, I’d be made to feel guilty by all family and friends, 2016 Christmas comes to mind. Even after my diagnosis, my mother was on my back about having a baby while knowing the pain I was living with. The disease has since taken my ability to conceive naturally, and I think she finally realises what I’ve been dealing with, but it has taken way too long. We’re all endo warriors, but for those with no support, that’s a next level of strong 💪🏼 Sending lots of love to you xx
Beautiful film and such an important message to get out and help more women get an early diagnosis and support.
Me in a nut shell! Thank you!
This movie is amazing. Can you upload the movie with german subtitles? I would like to show this movie to my family, so that they understand the disease better.
Such an amazing video, thank you for creatng awareness for Endometriosis
Thank YOU for taking the time to watch the film. Any support is simply amazing!! We're so glad people are enjoying it. We hope it can help in some small way! 💛 xoxxo
This video is amazing, thank you for raising awareness on endometriosis! But, please, let’s not leave trans endometriosis patients alone, let’s not ignore them: they’re suffering like us. :( and I’m just telling this because there are any trans endo-patients in this great video.
Thank you for your kind feedback lovely! We wish we'd been able to include trans patients in our lineup as well. We did a call out on some of Australia's biggest Endo pages and sadly no one volunteered. We'd love to work on branching out and including as many people as possible for our future projects. Suggestions are more than welcome!! Thank again for your support! 💛 Xox
I just know one of them, an American guy, because I follow him on Instagram, if that might help. Thanks for not overlooking them.
Thank You! This is amazing ❤️
💗My Story💗
Thank you💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I’m on in 5 now Endometriosis and Adenomyosis this clip got me though some really hard times didn’t think I would make it
I will try my best to have faith in myself. ^_^ This is me.
Thank you so much for making this!! 💗💗💗
Thank you for this great video. But please pay also more attention for adenomyosis. It has ruined my life and no doctor could helped me for more than 25 years.
Thank you 💚🙏
Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m the one of ten as well. Is so beautiful to feel supported and understood 🫶🏽
Thank you ❤❤❤
I've wondered if the mother (me) taking Birth control pill has anything to do with my daughter having this very painful issue of Endometriosis. My daughter RIP is gone now as she ignored the usual pain once too often, and had stage 4 Cancer on her Adrenal gland etc! All in the abdominal area. I highly recommend regular check ups on this nasty painful disease. Blessings
Please don't put the blame on yourself.
Great film! thank you!
Thank you so much! 😃💐
Wow it's angelic and ethereal!!
Thank you very much! 😁
This is so amazing ❤😢 I’m glad I’m not alone
Thank you so much for watching! Your support and kind words mean the world to us. Sending you hugs 💐😊💗 xoox
YES it's a Awful disease I hate it
The pain never really goes
Developed chronic pain after endo surgery. It’s like living in hell. Cannot function, work.
