Suicide Helpline
If you, or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts please call the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline or visit the hotline’s website.
There is someone always available to talk to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have a plan to end your life, or feel you may be at risk, please call 9-1-1 immediately.
People turn to suicide when their emotional pain overwhelms their coping resources; usually most often when people are in the depths of depression-which is treatable.

Ya somos MILLONES…
Aun así pocos hablan sobre la Endometriosis.
Al parecer, 176 millones de mujeres y niñas no son suficiente como para que nuestros líderes y los medios de comunicación se involucren y concientizen a nuestra población.
¡No podemos quedarnos de brazos cruzados!
Porque nuestra Endometriosis no termina con el mes de Marzo. Ella sigue creciendo en nuestros cuerpos, afectando todo nuestro entorno.
Seguiremos tocando puertas, junto a ti llevaremos la palabra Endometriosis hasta la luna, si es posible.
