 Dealing with PCOS on your own...
Knowing (alone) that you have PCOS is devastating. Not wanting to tell anyone, and dealing with it on your own is harder... The only person that knows about my PCOS (a cousin) doesnt really know how I feel. I know women with PCOS can have children, but I have tried and no doctor have been able to help. Am afraid if I go to a specialist, my job will find out about it and I dont want people feeling sorry for me. Every female in my family seems to be having a baby this year, and me... I am left behind with this secret. Whenever someone comes over to see me or I visit a family member and another brings their kids around, or cousin (who is pregnant) comes around, I get depressed all over again. I just feel like crying and dont want to talk to no one. I dont know how to act whenever my mom asks me if I will ever plan on having kids, or act around other pregnant women. I try to separate myself and dont really want anyone to know... Anyone else going through this? Any advice on how to be able to act around other pregnant females without feeling embarrased, let alone sad that you wish you were in their shoes??? |
