TIA soul cysters for reading~
Okay, so I have been with my boyfriend for almost four years, and he is soooo great. Problem is, I changed from the original happy go lucky, fun, exciting person I was when we met, to this person I am now where I don't want to do much, go anywhere etc. etc. I never would have thought it would be because of PCOS, but it makes sense. I blamed it on all the crap that happens in the world these days. I kept convincing myself that these things mad me sad, but why? I have always seen this stuff, why I am now so emotional? Last Friday, I was looking up some things about PCOS and stumbled across "depression and PCOS" Whoa.. I was like.. "So this is why???" What a relief, however I am unsure where to go from here. I was recently diagnosed, even though I have had irregualr cycles etc. for a while now. The first time my FSH and LH levels were tested 10 yrs or so ago, they were normal. Now, they are not. Hmm, I guess you can get this later in life.. I am going to the GYN to have a sonogram done to conclude the diagnosis. I figured I would write down my symptoms etc. and see what she says. It is easy to relate to what I read. Some days I am happy, often I am not. I feel empty and sad. I don't even get as excited about having a day off like I used to. Anyway, any feedback would be awesome!

My depression was actually a precursor to my PCOS diagnosis. If you go under the just diagnosed area at the top, there should be some tips about what to discuss with your doctor. In my case, Zoloft really helped. I was where you are. I thought it was burnout, but over my Christmas vacation (I'm a teacher), I wasn't feeling any better. I didn't want to do anything.
I completely feel for you!!! I have been with my b/f for about 4 years now as well..well 2 weeks shy of 4 years. Everything used to be soo great, but these past couple months I have just been at his throat for anything and everything!! So I finally found a therapist for me to talk to about everything and so far it is really helping! I have another appt. to try some meds b/c she feels that I have bi-polar depression which makes sense b/c both of my parents have it. I would just suggest finding a Dr. to talk to even if it is short term, just to get things off of your chest and make sure it isn't anything else that is causing the problems that you might not see. Good luck!!

hollygirl, I just wanted to let you know I identify completely with your symptoms. I've been experiencing them forever, and it's been such a relief for me to identify it as depression. I don't quite feel as if I'm going crazy anymore. I'm glad you're speaking to your doctor about this.

wow, i didnt know that! Ive been battling with depression as well. Recently though, once i started making changes Ive been doing a bit better. ........ but it definitely makes sense, with our hormones being everywhere, it seems that depression can definitely be an effect.
sorry I dont have much advice to give, ive been in the same boat *hugs*

My first symptom of PCOS was depression, I lived with it for years before knowing I had pcos.
Please tell your doctor about this so they can help you!

Hi
I seem to get really depressed or low as I refer to it when my pcos symptons are worse. Have been very depressed the last 2.5 months after learning my cancer marker in blood had risen and now after MRI results have got to have op.I find I cry at anything especially when mother makes comments on my weight gain.. which she has done all my life..My husband tries to be supportive but doesn't know what to say and what he does say is never what I want or think I should hear..He can never win and I must be a nightmare to live with..
Sorry you are feeling so depressed. Please go and see a doctor or psychiatrist. There is help! (((hugs)))
