PCOS - what have I done

I haven't really searched about my diagnosis for pcos since I was first told I had it in 2011. I decided to search it again and I am ABSOLUTLY terrified. Not only will it be more difficult to have a child, but along with that, the risks of other things are doubled and I am freaked out completely.

Type 2 diabetes, heart disease I just am so scared. I am overweight so I think I am going to have a heart attack at any time now. I read young people have with it I just feel so scared and so alone. I feel like I may as well give up and just lay in bed. It is just a scary feeling. I know I shouldn't have looked it up but maybe this will push me to eat healthy and loss weight, but even if I do that the chances are still there. I am so scared.

Flashlights,

the good news is, that most of the information on the internet is wrong! Sprinkle with correct bits and pieces.

The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor or nurse practitioner about the disease and how to prevent most of the side effect illness's.

BE PROACTIVE in your life with the disease, do not let it own you. You are a person, an individual, not the diagnosis.

Find a support group of people that have the same illness, sometimes this can be helpful.

Stay strong.
Peace
