Hello everyone! My username used to be shortandbubbly. I realize I haven't been in a long time. I felt that I needed to give this site a break for a while due to the fact that my life just seemed to be upside down all the time. However, a lot of things have happened in the past year, and I feel ready to come back with a different attitude. My husband, CHris, left me a little over a year ago. After that happened, I felt it was an important time for some self reflection. And then some other big events happened and I got through it all, and it made me realize that I am actually a strong person, and with determination, I can get through the worst of the storms. I hope that anyone I may have offended can forgive me if I did. My head was always too buried in my arse to come out. As much as I miss my husband, I can honestly say that I can see that I'll be better off without him, as he did nothing but drag me down a lot. ANd i apologize that all you ladies were the ones to hear it all the time. Anyways, I'm glad to be back and I hope I can recreate some cysterhood.
Welcome back! Wow, supersilly, it sounds like you've been through a LOT in the past year! I've gone through a difficult divorce, too, so I know what you're going through right now.
Just from the gist of your post, it does seem that you are very optimistic about your recovery, which is great. It is your strength and your good attitude that's going to help you succeed in beating PCOS.
siam- not only did the hubby leave, but he and my supposed friend were a couple less than a week after him leaving, and for some reason, she felt the need to be hurtful towrads me by sending me nasty emails, and having a bad attitude with me whenever she saw me. also, a couple weeks be fore christmas, which was only a couple weeks after he left, i was forced to leave my basement apartment when sewage ba cked up all onto my floors. a few months after that i got evicted because i couldn tafford the rent on my own, and my car got vandalized, my aunt died of lung cancer... it was a beautiful year, lol. but what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right?
Supersilly, I've had a year like yours two years ago; having one trauma happen after another like that does take its toll on you....not just emotionally but also physically. It may be that all the stress you've been through in the past year could have exacerbated your PCOS. Anyway, I guess all the crap I went through two years ago has made me VERY grateful for what I do have in my life right now, even with PCOS. I'm sure you can relate!
