I don't know if this is normal anymore. It is so hard having a condition that you know tonnes of people suffer from, and not knowing one in person. My parents don't understand, friends think I am crazy and overreacting, but I am generally scared. If you don't know me, I was diagnosed with pcos 3 years ago, and it has taken a toll on my mind. I constantly search it, which I know is my own worst enemy. I can't seem to stop thinking about it ever, i think that because all these high risk factors such as heart disease, heart attack, and early death from the sounds of it pretty much, have literally stalled me into moving on with my life because I am just so scared. Before this whole diagnosis, it was strange. Even on here, my posts were always about pulses, this and that, high blood pressure, and after reading all this stuff, I feel like it is my worst nightmare and my own body hates me, and always will. I can't ever get my mind off of it, I feel like this whole thing is destined to make my life awful. I hate being so anxious but I feel like I can't control it cause it is a reality and always going to be there. cry I am so frustrated tonight and needed to get this out and this is always the best and most supportive place!!!
Even this weekend, I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it seems like it is always in the back of my mind all these future problems! Anyone else like this?
Ugh I need some serious help LOL!!

Thank you as always and hope all is great with everyone, September is here which is CRAZYYY, but always remember, summer DOES come back around LOL!!!

Been a while since I read any of your posts, wish you were better. I don't remember if you have any
prescriptions or if you are fighting this without help. As stressed out as you seem the last few times I
think some prescription just might help you get your feet back under yourself. There is something you need to know about this condition PAD, it cannot hurt you regardless of whether you lay in bed and just
let it take over, or walk the floor all night, many of our people have just told panic and anxiety to just
bring it on and they toughed it out without any resistance, most of them have gone past this place you
are hung in, by absorbing the fear they became stronger than the fear could ever become. Now this is a
tough thing to do but what you are doing to yourself is probably much tougher, there is no way on earth I would look up a health condition of google, all they give is the worst case scenario. You do need therapy and lots of love and support, are you in a remote area where there is no help? I know you are
going to hate me for this but have you honestly tried the resources here? These things work and are
provided for people who have no access to help for various reasons. Please give yourself a break stay off
google and dig into the resources, keep trying please! Peace

Hi FL,

I did look up some info on PCOS the last time you were concerned about this...and it was a very small margin of increased risk of the worries that you mentioned . In fact, if I remember correctly, it was way less than would be with lifestlyle risks and genetic factors

Have you talked with your doctor about your concerns? What did he or she say? If you haven't already, I would encourage you to do so and get some reassurance.

I hope that you can put this out of your mind and enjoy the present. What will happen in the future...none of us know, and we only have so much control over it anyway...decide that you are going to enjoy today, live as healthy as possible, and not worry about what may or may not be.:)

Keep posting!

Thank you for the kind and caring response as per usual Larry! And thank you to SC! You always know how to make me feel less worrisome!

Larry I was on a small doseage of Prozac during 2011, but did not take it as I felt I wanted to try and get through it and the disease was so small I figured it was not worth taking. I take birth control for the pcos, to regulate all the female stuff LOL. I gues i just let my mind and worries take a hold over me. It is so true about google! And everytime I google it it seems to be the same pages and no actual people saying that any of that has happened to them! And I've tried the resources, biggest thing that helps is the breathing excersises! :). I live in a smaller city where people here aren't the greatest support, nothing for pcos is in this city besides the doctors who are so busy cause of how small it is. I lucked out cause my doctor came from a big city and has the most awesome bedside manners and reviews! He made me automatically comfortable and told me to come in whenever I wanted to!! He's a great doc!

And SC thanks for looking up pcos!! It's a weird one that's for sure! So many things go with it, and it all seems so downhill. But I do have to remember that so many women have it. I get always so carried away by the negative but I should realize and think of what other people go through and diseases and struggles they have. It's a selfish thing almost on my part, because although there is not a cute, it's manageable and treatable with diet and healthy living! I guess everything humans do has a risk for all that stuff it seems LOL! I will get some advice from my doctor on how to manage the anxiety and stresses and see what I can do for myself to make me feel better.

From now on if I think about it ill just take my mind off it! If I get the urge to google, sucks cause even cellphones have Internet so it's always there!!!, bit I will not do so! Even though I say it everytime LOL, but I feel a lot better now so I will do my best!! Thank yous!!!!
