Why do I feel so alone?

I am married and live near my sister and brother-in-law and have some pretty great friends.  Here's the deal about 5 weeks  ago I underwent a huge surgery to have a 9 cm cyst removed.  I still feel all alone in this battle because I know no one else who can help me through this.  During this my doctor diagnosed me with endometriosis.  I feel all alone.  
They don't understand me.  I need some help from some ladies who understand me.  It's making me really sad how alone I feel.  I'm sitting at my computer bawling my eyes out.  I just need to know that I'm not alone.

Your not alone sweety.  I went in to the hospital in extreem pain and had a laporoscopy done . they found endo near my bladder. after the surgery i just got worse! its been five months of pain every day! doctors who dont listen and even my own sister is not understanding ! she said i have to want to get better and its all in my head!  other people dont know what to say i know. I am going in for my second surgery because they think my bladder is stuck to my uterus. I never sleep because i feel i have to pee every two mins!  my specialist said its the nature of the beast ! endo is not nothing it is a disease that no one understands till they have it1 all the pain we feel 1 some people only on their time of the month some like me and you everyday!  I am here if you ever need to talk.  How is your husband being ?  my husband is a great man. but after five months of not knowing how to help me he has become a little aloof when it comes to me talking about it and a little like it is a pain.  this is not how he feels inside but men sometimes feel angry when they can not help us and take it out on...well us !  we find out that deep down they is just as frustrated as we are . this includes family too.     wish you well.

You are not alone and you can always talk to me if you need to. I know its hard going through something when no one else knows how you feel and I'm sure your family and friends love you they just dont really know how to approach the subject of something they're not familiar with. Good luck with your recovery and I hope you feel better!
