I was diagnosed with PCOS back in March 2005 and since then I have been on a rollercoaster of 3 week periods, saline hysterographys, abnormal paps, colposcopys, biopsies - you name it. Just recently, in the last 3 months have been able to get my cycles back to normal - my doc put me on Ovcon 35 - which seems to be doing the trick.
Problem is, I feel so "blah" all the time. I used to be a very happy, optimistic, ambitious, energetic, outgoing person - but lately I am extremely tired, and just feel like I am "going through the motions". I feel dull and like a zombie - putting one foot in front of the other, but not really participating in life like I used to.
I also have not been able to lose any weight - despite exercising and watching what I eat.
I am VERY unhappy with my job and have been for awhile so I am wondering if that is causing me to feel this way, or if I am suffering from depression from either the PCOS or the Ovcon. I can't easily change jobs due to financial constraints, although I am looking.
But...I AM SO TIRED of feeling this way. I am frustrated, and just feel like giving up sometimes and just resigning myself to the fact that this is the way my life is. I have been talking things through with my boyfriend and while he is very supportive, neither of us have been able to "fix" the problem.
I have been to the regular doctors too and had a full bloodwork done - everything came back normal, other than being almost slightly anemic (numbers were at the very low end of the scale). I was hoping for my thyroid meds to need adjusted because I thought that would solve the problems.
Can anyone help? I don't know if I should go to a therapist, go on meds, or what. Just when I think I should, I feel better for a few days, but then it comes back.
I'm sorry you're going through all this, I can relate, I've been there.
So glad to hear the Ovcon 35 is 'doing the trick'.
It sounds like your job may be causing some of what you're feeling, but I am no therapist. My friend actually had to start taking a sleeping pill and Valium because her job was REALLY causing her a rough go.
She quit last week, and is doing better.
It's positive that you have a supportive boyfriend and that your lab tests came back normal.
Is there a mental health center near you where you could possibly ask to just go in and talk to someone? Maybe that would help?
Ahh honey, I know how you feel! I go through the same things myself regularly!
I have found that my GP has been an excellent help, but I am lucky enough to have found a wonderful, fabulous doc. But I would definitely suggest that you look towards professional help. It really is making a difference to the quality of my life.

Thanks so much for listening!
