Default Just sick and tired of it all

I don't know if anyone else feels this way....but have you ever felt as though people in the same boat as you (in one way or another) give you advice and have no justification doing so?....For example, in dealing with this whole PCOS BullSh*t and asking certain questions about diet supplements, etc. everyone says "you'd be better off doing a lifechange/overhaul of lifestyle etc."........Well no SH*IT SHERLOCK!!!...as if we already don't know that.

I'm just sick of some people mentioning it like it is just that easy for one to do. Obviously we all know that, that is the best method -- but either its not that simple and clear for some of us to do, or that there are other issues/circumstances that hinder us from doing so. Some of us just don't have the type of life that permits us to committ the time and effort to doing so and asking about supplements etc may be the way that we choose to deal with it. For others of us - we just may not be that disciplined, nor will we ever be. But does that mean that we deserve to be fat, unhealthy, and miserable forever just because we can't make that "change"?....I know that others only mean well when they mention it, but has it ever occurred to someone to THINK before they do mention it??.....Not everyone is able to make that change and OBVIOUSLY wouldn't be asking about such supplements/short-cuts if they weren't looking for them. Good-hearted advice can sometimes seem/be hurtful or harmful depending upon who you are giving it to. I don't think that we deserve to be any less healthy or happy in life because we are not ready/choose to not make that change.

I for one don't have the time nor is my life set up in such a way that I can commit to such a change. In fact, I'm not sure if I have it in me. I am more angered/depressed/upset at the fact that I don't know WHY I have PCOS/Insulin resistance/all other problems. Grant it - I may not do all that I can do to make myself as healthy as I can be, but I am not exactly addicted to junk food/carbs, or what-ever is the current "PCOS culprit". I like to think of myself as a "healthy" eater (whatever that may be) and a well-rounded person....but it just seems as though this disease is ruining my life!!!...It is one thing after the other and instead of losing weight - I am gaining without being any different than before I was diagnosed!!!

The aboved mentioned is something that has bugged me for a long time now. I'm so sorry if I seem detrimetnal and extremely negative - but I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired that I just needed to vent about it all!!...it helps to let it out in a forum such as this.

I am sorry you are dealing with this! I can relate. Please try to ignore them, and if that doesn't work, tell them to shut up and f*ck off! I have had to do that a time or two...
