Endo Education- An Instagram account to raise awareness

Endo Education is an Instagram account I have recently discovered.
 This wonderful account popped up in my suggestions feed.


 It was set up and is run by a lovely lady called Wendy.

 She posts inspirational quotes and Endo facts but more importantly she posts other woman’s stories about their experiences. She asks you to write a little bit about yourself and your experience’s and if you’d like a photo to go with it. 
I think these little snippets into people’s lives is so important because everyone experiences things in different ways but also at the same time some people’s stories can be so similar. It’s a fantastic way to raise awareness but also bring people together, as this disease can bring with it a lot of mental health issues meaning you can feel so isolated.
 Personally, for me I’ve loved reading through other women’s experiences and to see I’m not alone and I’m not the only one feeling a certain way. It also lets other women going through the same thing know its ok to talk about it. 
The account lets us connect with other women going through similar things and to give each other support as well a providing much needed awareness.
We need more people like Wendy who are bringing much needed support to other women and providing a safe place to talk about these things.
 She poses questions to followers inviting them to share their experience or views on that particular subject. I think this can be very helpful because when you have a lot going on, your minds always buzzing and you can miss things you wouldn't usually. You can share something that ends up helping someone else that you wouldn't have even thought about saying before.
It's important to show our appreciation for women like Wendy and everything they do for other people.
💛
