some days i feel really ugly and unattractive. some days i feel like people view me as being masculine. i hate those feelings and i combat them by trying to pamper myself, or simply dressing up or doing my hair. and these things work. but some days are really tuff , but with the support of good friends and family i am able to overcomethee negative feelings.

I know exactly how you feel. I have begun to feel so uncomfortable in my body that I hate it. And I've been so busy w/work and school and just life that I don't have the time to go to the gym. And when the opportunity does arrive, I am so tired that I just want to stay home. I'm sure there are many of us that feel like this.

My hair started to thin out 5 years ago and everyone thought I was just being paranoid. But a person knows their own body and my hair is a third of what it used to be. I started breaking out last year which was strange because even as a teenager I never had bad acne.

And recently I've noticed the rapid hair growth in places that we dread. I get my eyebrows waxed and BAM I need to get it done again. Wax my lip and BAM I'm Frida again within the week. And now I noticed that the hair on my cheek is getting to be more visable. And I just don't know what to do. How to handle it. I have to shave my legs more often than I did before and I just don't understand it. And its funny because my doctor told me that I wasn't very hairy for a woman w/PCOS. Well I guess he jinxed me because now the hair is coming out.

He put me on Metformin and I'm having to get in the swing of taking 2 pills everyday. Its my fault that they might not be working like they should because I haven't been taking them everyday. So that just makes me feel even more guilty and sad.

I fought so hard to get diagnosed so that I could try to take care of this, and now that I have been labeled with PCOS. I don't know how to adjust to doing all the things that I need to do.

Has anyone else faced this? I could use some advice. Besides buying some stock in facial wax! :p
