Last year when I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety, I was at the point that all people had to do was look at me and I would dissolve into tears. I'm the type of person who would never cry in front of anyone else and ended up being someone who would cry over anything in front of my boss and my work colleagues. I found this really hard to deal with. As for anger, I didn't really show any of that until I went back to work (I had 6 months off last year). I still get angry now but I don't fly off the handle at others. If anything, I probably hold it all in until I feel like I might explode! As far as I know, it's all a part of depression, anxiety and maybe PCOS. Maybe it might be a good idea to get checked out for depression. I found that going to counselling (and I still do) has helped heaps.

I feel exactly the same. It's not proper depression for me, although I seem to be crying all the time, or getting angry, it's just frustration, and a short temper, and I don't know, just grumpiness... I blame my BC tbh, it's made me into a right *****, maybe speak with your doctor about that? My boyfriend has depression though (you can imagine how easy our relationship is lol) But he always finds talking to someone helps, if not the doctor, then me, or one of his friends. So do talk to someone. Also use exercise to take your mind off things, its great for releasing stress and anger, and it's going to help you in the long-term too. Good luck x

I wish I had answers for you, I can completely sympathize however. I don't know when PCOS started affecting me with depression, but I do know that I have struggled with emotional issues for a long time. My family never really understood it, and therefore I was always labeled as 'touchy'. It's hard being on this end of things when it's like things spin out of control in the matter of seconds and everyone around you judges.
Depression too has changed me from who I was... I was never the girl to cry in front of people, I always came across more sure than I actually was, and I could always hold my own, now it just seems like I am less and less sure of myself, and can't seem to control my emtions. I've managed to stuff them a lot lately, because I just can't handle fighting with my husband anymore... but yeah. I feel you.

I can empathize with you for sure. These feelings are the worst can be so debilitating. I hope you can seek help from someone. I am currently on Wellbutrin for my issues, it helps a lot. Hang in there- this is not the end! You know now and you can TREAT IT! ((HUGS))
