Thread: 15 and upset

Well they think I have PCOS, its just been stressing me out to the extreme. I find that Im a constant worrier, and if something is wrong its on my mind constantly. Im also going through other emotional issues stemming from when I was in an experimental curiosity phase at age 13. I know that Im straight but I look back now and just think "God why did I do that?" I know its normal but its been stressing me out

Like I said Im a constant worrier. I already have depression and they just uped my dosage but it doesnt seem to be working, and I think Im starting to feel the depression coming along with the PCOS. Im just stressed out to the extreme. Im also afraid that there is going to be something wrong with me when I go to the endocrinologist in late August, and that I'll die.

It's causing me to have neck and jaw pain. TMJ I believe its called. Im seeing my therapist to sort it all out on Wednesday but I just feel I need to rant and get it all out of my system. I cry for no reasons really, and then I'll be fine.

Its just so confusing for me right now. I feel like Im crazy or like Im a freak. None of my other friends are going through this and I feel alone. Help me someone.

Sorry if theres any spelling errors!

Welcome jojoba! There a LOT of supportive people on this site that will listen when ever you need to rant! I'm glad to hear that you are going to a E in Aug. When you go, have a list of every question, concern, worries (even if they sound crazy to you) with you. The best thing you can do for PCOS is ask ask ask~! I am also SO glad to hear that you were dx so early. I went thew my high school years not dx, severly depressed and heavly medicated. My senior year was a blur as I was on excess amounts of depression meds. (Which I am off of them for about 8 years now) I didn't know why I was depressed. If I had know it was PCOS, it would have at least made so much more sense. I had docs saying it was all in my head!! Like I said the best thing you can do for yourself is learn as much as you can about PCOS, and find a doc who will listen to you......depression IS related to PCOS. And please remember, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE FROM IT!! If you ever feel down, come back to this site as much as you want to. Ask as much as you want to. There is ALWAYS someone who will listen!!!

Hi there, I am sorry to hear you are feeling depressed. 15 is a hard age by itself. I am now turning 29 and can remember that 15 was the hardest year of my life. I look back and realize I too was depressed. I only found out this last month that I have PCOS. My husband and I are trying to conceive. Keep your chin up and believe me age will help.

I hope you feel you can ask anything.
