I got my CWD (Children with Diabetes) award for 25 years of type 1 diabetes! Just wanted to share this milestone. It was weirdly emotional to get the medal in the mail and be recognized for one of my hardest invisible battles. 💙

And no, I did not eat too much sugar as a kid. It was a total coincidence being diagnosed on Halloween! Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. 👍
*Been asked that question soooo much* 😅

Im 100% sure I have adrenal #PolycysticOvarySyndrome .

Posting this is really testing the limits of my courage. But I need some advise.

Since I was twelve I‘ve been bullied for my excessive hair growth (all over my body), mostly on my face. Also because of acne.

I have irregular periods, like either it’s only a little more than spotting or it’s really heavy flow with intense pain.

I’m literally always exhausted but that could also be not getting enough sleep and depression.

I have social anxiety and depression which often correlate with PCOS.
I have sleeping problems and digestive problems like ibs.
I’m literally always anxious or on edge.
Even when I do something relaxing, but that could also be lingering trauma.

I haven’t gone to the gynaecologist yet,
because I was too scared and would only want an blood test…

Also I would need a pill to settle this and this is hard for me, like I can’t swallow things.

Currently I’m just fed up with all the waxing and plucking of hair. It takes up soo much time and energy. Especially if I’m depressed….

I read that laser hair removal can be effective but only in combination with hormones.

Any tips or advise?

Update: I’m currently on my period and I’m in pain everywhere. ChatGTP says it’s connected with PCOS. I have crampsthat I feel in my back and thighs, a hedache and every joint in my body hurts. And I’m sick…
I’m used to it. Buts it’s annoying still.

I restarted grad school for the nth time! I put support in place with my Fibro, FND, anxiety and depression etc. But my body and mind are still going ape sh#% 🙄

It's like my body is settling...Very, very slowly, but my course is sooo fast paced that you need to be on it from the jump.

I just don't know what to do anymore 😞 I actually am enjoying what I'm learning this time, but don't have the energy or decent enough health to manage studying it effectively.

We're only in week 2/3 and I am sooo behind, have only attended ONE class and we have mocks in a couple of weeks 🫠

I just feel like a failure. Like I'm letting down everyone supporting me, while also letting life pass me by.
