Endometriosis & Mental Health: Coping with Chronic Pain

Living with endometriosis isn’t just about physical pain—it can take a serious toll on your mental health. The exhaustion of chronic pain, medical gaslighting, and hormonal imbalances can lead to anxiety, depression, and emotional burnout. But you’re not alone, and there are ways to cope.


What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain, inflammation, and scarring. It affects about 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth, yet it often goes undiagnosed for years. Common symptoms include severe pelvic pain, painful periods, fatigue, digestive issues, and infertility.


How Endometriosis Impacts Mental Health

The unpredictability of pain, difficulty obtaining a diagnosis, and hormonal imbalances can take a serious toll. Many individuals with endometriosis report increased stress, anxiety, and depression due to medical gaslighting, isolation, and the struggle to maintain daily routines.


8 Tips to Cope with Endometriosis-Related Mental Struggles

  1. Validate your pain – Track symptoms to recognize patterns and advocate for care.

  2. Find a support system – Join online or local endometriosis communities.

  3. Engage in gentle movement – Yoga and stretching can help ease pain.

  4. Practice mindfulness – Meditation can reduce stress and promote resilience.

  5. Seek professional support – Therapy can provide coping strategies.

  6. Prioritize sleep – Create a restful routine to manage fatigue.

  7. Advocate for yourself – If your doctor dismisses you, seek a second opinion.

  8. Be kind to yourself – You are not weak for needing rest.
