Dear blondeambition,
I am very familiar with GAD, but have not experienced the symptoms myself. I have a few friends who have suffered with it. It was like they were always on edge. Are you on any specific medications for it?
I do think, like with depression and any sort of other mental health issue, there can be a hormonal component to it especially with PCOS. I wish there was more research out there about this issue which is why I intend to contribute to the research with my dissertation. Would you be willing to participate in an interview to contribute to the discussion about mental health issues women are facing who are diagnosed with PCOS?
I personally have suffered from more depression than anxiety, but they can go hand in hand especially if your anxiety worsens to the point where you can't leave the house or just don't feel like becoming involved in anything because you are so anxious about what might happen. Definately I hope it does not get to this point for you. Are you seeing a therapist or getting support from your doctor about this issue?
Good luck to you hon.
