Confessions of a 20 year old girl
Ok here I go. Well I'm a 20 year old female.
I was diagnosed a couple years ago with PCOS.
I've always been a chubby kid. But this condition has made it worse and now I'm obese. I find it really hard to lose weight. The most messed up thing about it is that I actually like exercising! I love getting on my treadmill and working hard till I sweat. But It's like I never lose weight. I even watch what I eat. Another messed up thing that comes along with having PCOS is that I don't have regular periods. I have to take an oral contraceptive everyday so my body can have regular periods. But it doesn't even end there. Another symptom of this ** up condition is excessive hair growth. Yep.. I have hair on my chin, chest, **, stomach, you name it. I shave, wax, pluck, bleach.. I go through a lot of trouble and I feel so disgusting. My self esteem is non existent. I didn't even mention the worst part.. I might not even be able to have kids lol. I love kids. My dream is to have kids. And theres a possibility that's not even possible. I don't even feel like a women..more like a disgusting walking train wreck. It's not like anyone would want to have a kid with me anyway.. I'm fat..people just look at you and assume you ** yourself over. I didn't. I ** try so hard to be normal but I cant. I know no guy will ever give me a chance either. I actually a really nice girl. I'm funny, caring, fun, and loving. But it doesn't matter in the end now does it. I'm ** for life.
Oh, I know. And the WORST part is that ** & ** between your legs.
I think you're beautiful. Your dream is so beautiful. I really admire you. You shine like 10,000 stars. You just need to realize it.
I was diagnosed with PCOS at 24 but had the symptoms for years before the diagnosis. Consider yourself lucky that you know what's wrong, and don't just assume you're a fat, hairy freak of nature like I did. Despite thinking of myself as repulsive, at 22 I met a wonderful man who I am marrying next year. There's no cure for PCOS but it doesn't have to ruin your life.
Hun, I have PCOS and I'm a bigger girl. Its almost 3 yrs since I was diagnosed and this year quite possibly at my heaviest I've been on more dates and had 1 of the best years of my life. Don't let it get you down I'm sure you are beautiful and will find a guy who loves you no matter what. The right man will love u as a size 2 or at a 22 he wont care. I have my ups and downs but I've made it this far and plan to keep my head up.
Lots of people have PCOS and have kids! My friend is about to have her 2nd! I have PCOS and although I had weight loss surgery to lose the weight I still have the hair growth so I can relate to your feelings there! I got married to a wonderful man when I was 313lbs though...now I am 143lbs and still married. Life is not all bad!
It's really not that bad. I have it also. I felt the same way you did, but I got over it. I have a kid on the way in two months. Me and my boyfriend plan on getting married soon. I do really hate the hair growing everywhere, but I just try to stay on it.
Thank you to the second comment too. I feel less alone now that I know It's not just me going through this. And congratulations! :)
Thank you for your response i feel a little better knowing im not alone, I guess I will hope for the best that I'll find wonderful guy like you did :)
