be very difficult. However, there are different options one can take in

Support groups
Support groups can be extremely beneficial for dealing
with endometriosis. Due to the emotional stress of the disease it is very important that women suffering have someone who understands what they are going through to talk with. having supportive friends and family members is very important, but sometimes talking to other women who are going through the same things can be more informative and relieving.
By joining a support group it makes women realize that the pain they are feeling is real and not in there heads. Most importantly, women who join support groups realize they aren't alone.
