I was just diagnosed with PCOS about a month ago and the following poem is just some of the questions and feelings I have experienced so far. I find it helpful and a stress relief especially when feeling low or sad to write down what I'm feeling at that moment in time.
Coping
What do you do when your.... not quite whole? not quite enough? not quite a woman ?
How do you fight.... the disease you cannot see? the saddness you cannot escape? the hurt you cannot yet face?
When does... the pain lessen? the shame fade? the inadequency leave?
How do I.... keep from becoming consumed by what I'm not? find peace with what I've got? still love myself?
that's beautiful, trust me I can relate. it's good to have this messge board.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
for me its the not knowing that is the hardest thing to deal with....I try to have hope but then I worry that my hopes will get crushed. Maybe one day we will have the answers to our questions....at least about PCOS

Thanks for this. I've had a really rough week this week and your poem seems to express so much of what I've been feeling. I am so thankful for this message board.
I felt the same way. Well, actually I stil feel the same way. I am 21 and I haven't had a moments peace because of all my health problems. If you ever need a friend.. I can be there for ya.
BTW welcome to the boards. This place is really helpful when you need someone to relate to... it sure has helped me a few times.

I like this poem. I have just been diagnosed about a month ago. I am confused about alot and my dr. never explained to much. What I know - is what I have researched. Nor did he put me on a diet plan or anything. I am 238 pounds. I have lost some on my own before this - but now I feel like I have to. I want to live healthy - I want to have a fulfilled life. At this point I am smoothered in depression and hurt / confusion. Thanks for the post and I'm glad I found u SOULCYSTERS
