Default Blah.

Does anyone ever just sit back and think how pretty they would be without going bald, or having facial hair? I do it all the time and it just makes me depressed thinking about how I could have been a normal girl who has beautiful hair and a nice smooth face and a nice figure. And I certainly don't have any of those. But I guess I can't complain too much because I know there are people who have it far worse than me, but sometimes I can't help it but feel this way. It makes me so crazy thinking about it. I guess I just think about how maybe things won't be so bad in the future if I keep trying to eat right and exercise and take meds to make me not as unattractive, but thats still annoying because just to look decent I have to take pills. I'm a happy person most of the time, I'm never really in a bad mood for more than a day, just things like this put me down, ya know?

Talk about irony. I was just pulling my hair back over my shoulders thinking about the hair I used to have. Before this got so out of hand. Now it's fine and thin and just sad. I used to have full, thick curly hair. Now it just sits there.

I've dealt with the weight my whole life. And I've been fighting the facial hair since I was 13ish. But the hair loss is the most depressing thing to me.

Yeah, hairs really important to women. Its like, if you don't have a nice full head of hair then you just feel like your not attractive anymore. That's how I see it anyway.

I look at my wedding pictures from 10 years ago and even in the up close ones, I have NO FACIAL HAIR!!! I looked so pretty back then, compared to now. it's very depressing.

I can relate too. I used to have beautiful long curly hair. I have now lost about 50-60% of it. Most people can't tell, but I can and people close to me can.

I have recently cut my hair short. It looks fuller and healthier, but I still really miss my long curly hair, as does dh.

I have also been dealing with excess hair on my face, chest, stomach, thighs, and who knows where else, and don't get me started on my weight struggle.

I'm with you gals, at times its very depressing.

I really am lucky with the excess hair because mine is very pale and you can't see it. The hair loss on my head is what kills me. My DH keeps asking me to let mine grow out and I won't. It looks terrible long. I work with 2 other women with PCOS and both of them have beautiful long hair. I just wish my hair looked decent at shoulder length.
