Up and Down like the weather

I have no clue most of the time why I'm down. One minute I seem fine and the next I am so down, not much can lift my spirits up.
Sure, there are reasons I'm sure we could all think of to be down, but these are things that (for me) don't MAKE me get down, they just add to it. I was fine earlier today and now I am so depressed, and I really couldn't tell you why. I go on these rollercoaster rides too much. And what really makes me angry-I have no idea why. I attribute a lot of it to my thyroid. They say that there is a major correlation with depression and hypothyroidism, which I have.
I just want it to stop.

I understand about the up and down's. Sometimes I too can not understand what is going on. Hopefully if you keep posting and reading other people's posts you will be able to feel better. I think that it just has a lot to do with having pcos. I found that it is better knowing what is wrong with me, because then I can blame my moods on my pcos. I think that because of hormones, and a wacky body, it must be something to do with that. If at any time you need to talk you can email me, or send me a private message. I would be glad to talk to you

I know what you are saying. There is a strong connection between PCOS and Depression, Kat has posted some wonderful links and some research articles. You will find alot of information on anything you could possibly want to know about this disease.

It is not uncommon for depression to hit, I have been having fighting it for a long time. If you are finding that it interferes with your ability to function than it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor and get help.

I wish you both the best of luck and remember that you are among people that understand what you are going through!

Keep us posted on how you are doing!

All the best,
April
