when I was first diagnosed i felt a lot like you. I was freaking out all the time, all my grandparents have diabetes and my parents are on the fast track for it, I see my grandma and she can hardly walk because she doesnt take care of her diabetes.....I was freaking out that I was going to die. My husband was very very supportive, he still is, but one day he must have gotten tired of hearing me complain and he said to me, "Well, you can either sit here complaining about it and being scared for the rest of your life or you can do something about it and enjoy your life." At first I was SOOO MAD he would even say that. He doesn't know what I'm going through, he doesn't have to deal w/ it on a daily basis. After like 3 days of being mad at him I realized he was right. Why should I let PCOS and all it's effects ruin my life? As soon as I said this and believed this, it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I realized that while PCOS sucks big time, and i still don't think it's fair I have it, there are things I can do to control it. Better diet, more exercise, etc. Although I'm not really doing great with dieting/exercise, I know that PCOS doesn't have to control my life. Good luck and know that we're always here for support. |
