PCOS vs ME

Did you know that one in 10 women of bearing age suffers of PCOS? 

Also women with PCOS have a hormonal imbalance and metabolism problems that may affect their overall health and appearance. 

Is very common and treatable if most cases, let's not forget also expensive and very annoying because who has ever said "I love having my hormonal roller coaster mess with" but let's get real here, when you live in a society that is constantly harassing you for "getting too old" and not being married, shaming you for pursuing more than carrier instead of having kids, working out and not being skinny and let alone wanting to adopt from the get-go.  

you are left to wonder well, do I feel ok with myself? Then comes the Body shaming and let's not forget our dear friend depression and his side kick anxiety. I won't tell you "get over it" or "you probably have another purpose in life" because I'm one in 10 of those women.

 I'm part of that statics bracket. And yes it sucks because most of us would love to feel normal, tmi I leap of glory when I get my period of course after wanting to die the weeks previous from ovulation pains. YES you read it right, it's so painful that I have ended up at the ER thinking is a appendicitis. 

I know I'm not the only one, I have met several and yes we laugh and cry together because the struggle is real. I have known for a few years now and I didn't care much about it until I came from my mission and my health took a toll, I have recently spend the first month with antidepressants and even though my heart overflows with joy when I get moments like todays I  know that for once my health is under control, my emotions are under control and most important I am myself. 

So please reconsider when making some of you comments. As for me, I'm fulfilling my life with what I want most, yes I'm over qualify to be a nanny as my boss often reminds me but, in a year full of little ones and  starting a second career I have been able to overcome more than when I just was try to "get over it" and I love it. I'm more than my depression, and trust me I'm with you, hormones imbalances sucks and put them together and daily routines become a total blah.

 But there is hope, a good family doctor can make such a difference, it make take several trearments to find the right one, you might be come a ticking bomb at  times (and trust me I have been and I'm eternally grateful for those who have put up with it), appearance aren't everything but I'm with you, is good to few comfortable in your own skin. 

Honestly listen to your body and once you know what is right, fight to make it better or easier. I thought I was going mad for the longest time and I refuse to talk about it. But I have learned that by doing so I just made it worse. I love the support group I have and where I'm at. 

So if you reading this and you know what I'm talking about, know that is gonna be ok! you just gotta find what works for you. Or in the words of someone dear to me "Girl, you do you".
