Hi I just wanted to say that you aren't alone!
I'm 17 and was dx with PCOS earlier this year. I am still having a hard time dealing with it. There's the whole being overweight thing, and trying to lose weight, AF being completely whacked and then going on BCP, dealing with annoying and uncomfortable side effects of Met and worrying about the future effects of PCOS on my health and my future fertility, because I really want to have children someday. Not to mention regular teenage things to worry about! LOL. For me it's just depressing walking through life dealing with all of these issues because a lot of the time I feel like nobody understands or could relate. I haven't told any friends (not that I have that many, haha) IRL about my PCOS or anything related really, and it's just hard having that to think about when the only things my friends seem to worry about are parties and guys.

Hugs to you PCOS is not the end of the world, but I know it can feel like it. I wish I had a better answer, but really I feel the same way and am struggling with it myself. It sucks. LOL.

Good luck to you, hon!
