i was recently diagnosed with pcos and it made me feel relieved since i had waited 5 years for a diagnosis, but it also feels so upsetting knowing i have a chronic condition that could progress into things much worse, such as diabetes, heart problems, hypertension, high bp etc.
i feel so alone and lost, as if no one else could understand how im feeling because no one i know has the same issues. and even if they do, its side effects aren’t affecting them as much. ive struggled with self love for so many years, being someone with acne, and so to find out that my acne is hugely caused by pcos just annoys me so much because i spent so many years being depressed about it only to find out it will never actually be cured. and i don’t want to have to do ivf to get pregnant, i want to be able to conceive normally like an average woman but it probably won’t happen and knowing all these problems are making me fear the future. i have so many problems, so much to still do and it feels like my pain and problems are just never ending…
