Glad to know I'm not the only one. I have had my battles with both depression and some anxiety. Thought maybe it was just me. Doing research I did find out that those of us with PCOS seem to suffer with both a little more than those that don't have PCOS. I have found that writing things down, in a journal, helps me some. I don't get angry as much when I do that and I try to breathe.

I have some issues with anxiety and depression. I am sure a lot of it is because of PCOS. It does so much to my confidence, with the weight gain, hirsutism, and of course the dry, blotchy skin. I am better since I have lost some weight. 30 pounds since the beginning of the year. One of the best things I've done is cut the stress in my life. I still have bouts of anxiety especially during social situations, but I am hoping the more I become physically healthy, the more mentally healthy I will become.

Yes!!!!!! Having PCOS, losing weight is next to impossible and then you add the anti-depressants and I don't think I'll ever lose weight!

Absolutely.. :-(

I feel you.....I've been struggling with severe depression and a severe form of social anxiety lately. I've been on the BC pill for years now, and I am going to go off because I truly believe that it's intensifying my anxiety and depression. There is a huge study that came out recently showing a huge correlation between BC pills, anxiety, and depression. I've been seeing a naturopath after years of getting nowhere with regular doctors. I am currently taking an herbal tincture to support my anxiety and depression. It has St John' Wart in it and Kava which are very helpful. I definitely suggest talking to someone about it, that will help. I have to do that myself.
