push back the anger

Yasmine Candau has long been at war with her endometriosis. She “hated” her omnipresent pain. And then over time, the anger left her. “It’s a long road, but you have to try as much as possible not to let yourself be locked into illness and the feeling of injustice,” she explains. It is for this reason that the president of EndoFrance does not present herself as an “endogirl”, a term which designates women talking about their endometriosis on social networks. “Disease is part of us but it does not define us. Otherwise, she won. I am very attentive to this when women ask to become volunteers in the association, because it is difficult to fight this fight while feeling like a victim. There is a work of mourning to be done. To accept the disease is to open the field of possibilities. »
