In another heartfelt post on her Stories, Halsey proudly identified herself as part of the "endometriosis gang," underscoring her solidarity with others who share her experience.

Despite these challenges, she has emerged as a fierce advocate for herself and others affected by endometriosis, proudly embracing the title of "endo warrior."

In a poignant speech, she encouraged others to prioritize their health and advocate for themselves, stressing that nobody should have to suffer in silence. By sharing her own story, Halsey hopes to empower others to seek help and support, reminding them that their health and well-being are paramount.
