My undiagnosed endometriosis ended my friendship - EP.5 | Unfriended. | The Friendship Breakup Podcast

𝑰 𝒌𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔

In this episode of Unfriended, I sit down with Olivia as she opens up about navigating chronic pain during university—and how living with undiagnosed endometriosis impacted her friendships.

Trying to mask the pain and carry on as normal was exhausting, and as Olivia struggled to keep up, her friendships began to suffer. She started pulling away, lying to get out of social events, and isolating herself—until one friend finally said, no more.

How does a chronic pain condition impact friendship? And can a friendship survive when one friend can’t show up like they used to? Tune in to hear Olivia’s story…
