 My PCOS Rant
I love that you posted this video. I´ve been dealing with PCOS since I was in 7th grade.. The funny thing is that, i didnt notice the sideburns or the few dark hairs on my chin, some of the wonderful boys i went to school with did. Everyday in school this one boy i sat next to would ask me if i wanted him to bring his dads razor to school with him so i could use it. It was horrible. I just kinda dealt with it the best i could until we moved and i started a new school. It was my freshman year and i was tired of always looking down and wearing my hair in my face to try to cover it up. I got the bright idea to shave it all off the morning i started high school.I didnt want to be known as the chick with sideburns and a beard..I never felt happier than i did at that moment, to be able to wear my hair up...until..you guessed it..it grew back darker..and of course there was more of it from where i shaved hair that wasnt as noticable. Back then there wasnt much known about PCOS so no one was sure what to do for me. I am now 25 and it hasnt gotten any easier for me. I am happily married but i still wont let my husband see me completely naked. He says hes fine with it so i should be too...He doesnt understand and i dont really expect him to. Sometimes when im upset about it, he tries to make me feel better by saying hes jealous because his wife could grow a thicker beard faster than he can. It doesnt help but, im so glad that he loves me for who i am and not what i look like. I also feel like less of a woman because of this. Like you said about the ´comb over´ I have to do the same thing..its not only receding, but its thinning on the top and in the back. Body hair is another issue for me as well. Most days i hate myself because of what PCOS is doing to me. I just wanted to thank you for posting this video and reassuring me that im not the only one dealing with this. It makes me feel a lot better. If you have yahoo messenger, feel free to add me sometime. My screen name is aambermmarie20. Or you can email me at alascola@ivytech.edu |
