Ladies,

I'm currently accepting the fact that I MUST TAKE CONTROL of this PCOS! I got diagnosed about 4 years ago ( I can't even remember exactly because I immediately went intot denial).

Right now, I'm dealing with the typical symptoms excessive facial / body hair, insulin resistance, extreme weight gain, missed periods (It's been 7 months since I saw one), and now...THE BIG ONE...ANXIETY / DEPRESSION.

After finding a doctor in Atlanta who has knowledge in the treatment of PCOS, I had my first visit with a COMPETENT doctor and she suggested that I get a therapist. I must've looked at her like she is crazy. I NEVER in a million years would claim to be DEPRESSED...besides that...I feel like I have the most confidence a girl could ever have...I think I might be wrong, though...to think that depression / anxiety can't touch me.

I am touched by your comments because I think I need to deal with the anxiety / depression by FIRST RECOGNIZING it... What signs should I look for? I couldn't pinpoint anything right now that would indicate that I'm suffering from anxiety / depression...But...if someone asked me if I had SPECIFIC symptoms...then I could probably say yes or no to that...UGH...I'm confused...!

If you have any advice, please share!

Thanks!
