Depressed...

[AlienFrog892]

Hi everyone! I know PCOS can lead to depression, but I just don't know how to tell my parents that I feel the way I do. I mean just today, me and my brother were having a fight, and he called me a fat lard. I am overweight and this made me began to sob, but I didn't want to call attention to myself, so I just left the room. I have been very emotional lately and I don't know how to get rid of it. I sometimes even cry myself to sleep knowing that I have to go through another day. Anyone have any suggestions?

I suggest a counselor/therepist. I have had one before I knew I had pcos and she helped me somewhat. I am also really sad and I think I am going to talk to my mom about getting me another one because I stopped seeing the other one two years ago. Best of luck to you :D

I was depressed for about a year, am feeling mucho better now, but still get waves of depression.

What helped me was having people that I really trusted to talk to and with. It also helped to know other people who knew what it felt like to be depressed. So, I suggest a good friend or two, talking to people on here, if it helps and your concerns are to do with PCOS; but a therapist may work just as well.

Just remember, you are not alone, and we are all here to support each other :)

i know about being depressed... my severe depression was one of the things that led to finding out about my pcos... it's hard to deal with i know... i have gone thru it all... but the best thing to do... is focus on something you believe in... wether it be god.. family friends... school... job... whatever.. fill your mind with other things and then talk to someone you trust to try and work thru some of the issues at hand. it might not make it go away completely... but the other option is just to sit and do nothing... and that to me is depressing in itself!
