Have this sinking feeling..not sure what I am feeling.

I use to get on this web-site at least once a day. I haven't been on since the end of Sept. I feel like I am slowly going down hill. I wasn't sure if I was even posting in the right spot.

I made an apt. with my family Dr. for Friday. I have read where a lot of women are on different types of med. to help them cope with all of these PCOS symptoms. I feel I need some help.

My husband is saying I am not myself. I am so moody, it's not even funny. I'm not quite sure if what I am feeling is depression. I feel so many emotions. I always thought depression was having suicidal thoughts, I am not having those.

All I know is at this point I have been on the Gluco. for almost two years and it's like it has stopped helping me. My hormones are slowly starting to rise back up again. I am seeing a specialist, he mentioned wanting to start me on Actos, I was supposed to have blood work done though and never did it. I just feel like I am in this weird kind of "funk" as I have heard others say. I have missed two apts. with him. I was having trouble with my ins. co. saying these visits were not "medically necessary" and each visit is almost a $1000.00.

The hair growth is just awful. Thank god it is winter here in Ohio, I am wearing long sleeves. The hair on my arms has gotten so much darker in the last few months. It is all over my face and starting to creep up on my cheeks. I always wear my hair down to "hide" my side burns I am now growing. I just don't know how much more I can handle.

It affects me in every way. If I am out in public. I want to go back to school and have just not had the courage to go out to be around people. I have gained 13 lbs. since May. I just don't know what to do, where to turn.

What do I ask my family Dr. for?? What can help get me out of ths slump I am in?

Please any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Tell your doctor exactly what your feeling. I felt the same way (still do). I told my doctor and I have now been on Zoloft for a week. I have yet to see any changes but just knowing that I did something about it has helped. I stopped getting on here after my miscarriage in October. I'm also going through a divorce now. So I am going through stuff but I am feeling the exact way you are. I've had so many emotions it was almost like I was numb. That has gone away some since being on the meds. I would just tell your doc everything your feeling, depression isn't just suicide thoughts. Hope you feel better soon!
