I've dealt with a chronic illness that traumatized my reproductive system since the age of 16 (I'm now 21) that catapulted anxiety, depression and feeling extremely isolated. No one was talking about the realities of womanhood so I've been making an effort to incorporate my experiences throughout the years and recent egg freezing into my Instagram that has caused a positive reaction from a lot of people who silently go through similar things. Healthcare for those with female reproductive systems is made into a play ground by politicians and not enough research goes into common diseases that are still enigmas such as endometriosis, pelvic adhesions disease ect. Education and awareness about such things are key in the advancement to normalize as well as protect our bodies. Sympathizing with personal accounts helps to actualize these often times hidden realities and therefore generates growth and community.
