Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Hi- I’m a 48 year female mother dealing with lots of health and mental health issues. My mom passed away a year ago and it sent me on a downward spiral. That along with having long term covid symptoms which caused what they think was a NSTEMI heart attack. I also have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, severe migraines, TMJ, PCOS, endometriosis, chronic fatigue and going through menopause, my body is in constant pain and doctors can’t figure it out so I’ve given up hope! My finances suck because of the world today and we are barely getting by. My job is super stressful and most days I force myself out of bed because I don’t want my son to see what’s happened to me and I’m ashamed. I did grief counseling briefly and quit because I couldn’t afford it. I now have social anxiety and when I’m not working I hide in my home. I’ve pushed most my friends and family away because I’m ashamed that I cannot cope with my feelings. Most days I wish I wasn’t here anymore but I don’t want to hurt my family. I just don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel. I feel like I’ve tried everything and nothing has helped! I do not like the person I’ve become. Am I alone?

I need to share this information with every woman I know that has PCOS.
My husband and I have been trying to have a child since we got married but it’s been so difficult bc I have PCOS.

These are things I’ve learned along the way while being under the care of a specialist:

Take myoinositol and don’t stop working out please. No physical activity increases risk of heart disease and diabetes but with PCOS it increases your risk. Also get good sleep and take melatonin if you can’t sleep. PCOS messes with your sleep and increases chances of depression (bc hormones).
PCOS really wreaks havoc and I had no idea how hard it would be to conceive.
See a specialist to help regulate your cycle with natural progesterone. Treatment reduces your risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Thanks for reading. 🤗 I love you!

Woke up feeling horrible today but took some meds and had a nap with a heating pad and started feeling a bit better. Got the kitchen clean which is a HUGE win for the day! I think the rest of the day I am going to spend relaxing since tomorrow is Monday….back to work 🤦‍♀️.

It was a great weekend but it has left me exhausted and I gotta work tomorrow. But….i am not gonna let it stress me like I normally do. I am just gonna get up and do my best and enjoy the day. Things have been improving the more I renew my mind and change how I think.
