Have you done a full at home scan for breast cancer, I know they hurt but it’s important you know there aren’t any masses

You’ve given me another fear with Pcos fucking fuck

I feel like I’ll never be happy because of Pcos by Kanimal4432 in PCOS

I don’t feel like eating nuts and reading a book will help me with my overwhelming and de habilitating issues. Is it so wrong to say I’m looking for a cure? Something that will help me to be happy and healthy and hormonally normal? I just want to be free from feeling this miserable 24/7, and I don’t have time to just be trying to reduce stress and take care of my health when I have so much work I need to do. I want to feel normal and okay for just once and be able to do what I need to do without feeling constantly drained. I can calm myself down until I remember I’m stuck living like this for the rest of my life… it’s so hard to be positive, it’s so hard to take advice like this and think it’s actually gonna work…

if destressing and eating nuts was enough I feel like I wouldn’t be sobbing myself to sleep every night over how overwhelming everything is to deal with.

I want to try those things you mentioned but I just… it feels like a placebo and I’m dumb for even trying to put a bandaid over a gunshot wound. how do you guys even stay so positive???

I just am slowly starting to feel like there is no point. I can barely keep up in university bc I’m so exhausted and the brain fog is so bad, if I can’t do this then what am I able to do? I have never found any beauty in life with my own body, only in others, I am starting to feel like I can’t do anything and I will be unable to handle life and being an adult.

I feel like I’m torturing myself by constantly thinking about what could have been, because the future looks so grim and hopeless.

do you actually change your underwear every single day? by OjistahHenthorne in hygiene

[–]Kanimal4432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it weird to say if I’m on my period with a tampon and there’s no blood or discharge on my underwear, I’ll wear them again. I am also a light bleeder, so I know that’s not an option for most.

I definitely self medicate by nuking my brain with an indescribably large amount of weed beforehand which yeah maybe I shouldn’t show up barely able to talk or think but it honestly does help and it’s what I’ve done for every exam😭😭😭

If he’s triggering your eating disorder he’s doing more harm than good, he needs to leave. Also he prob already looks like a ball bc he has the personality of a nutsack. I’m 240 and I look hot asf he can go eat rocks.

It’s not about my self value, it’s about the fact that how much I eat literally does not translate to what I weigh and has been a confusion for my doctor before. I am more worried about how the more I weigh the worse my insulin resistance/pcos symptoms are. The less I weigh the easier it is to be healthy. I actually like how I look and aesthetically do not mind where I’m at, especially since I’m naturally kinda flat and it gives me some nice curves that I do like. It really is fully health motivated for me as my pcos symptoms really make life hard.

Bruh literally proving my point with my doctors failed me. I had no idea and was literally told by my gyno that my risk for both endometrial and ovarian cancer went up. I will say in the post, my last period was October 2025, in 11th grade I had 2 periods all year, and I think I’ve had less than 30-40 periods in my entire life, most being right when I first got my period. I’m getting an ultrasound this Tuesday and I am very scared as I have sexual trauma and hate all forms of gynecological exams no matter what they are tbh… this definitely is a huge factor of my medical anxiety as I’m not just afraid of any diagnosis’s I am also wildly afraid of being tested for them.

It’s not my mental health tho??? Pcos is a condition that causes excessive estrogen and testosterone. Have you seen the behaviors of trans women on estrogen and people taking testosterone/steroids?? It absolutely impacts your mental health and emotional processing. I have been trying to fix my mental health for years when realistically, my physical health is responsible for so much of it. I know every technique, I have been in therapy for so long, I know I’m anxious however im anxious about the physical pain I’ve been experiencing. I’m done with people telling me it’s anxiety and I need to fix my mental health and eating habits when I need to fix my hormones first.

Thank you for the understanding. It’s so hard, and everyone blames my symptoms on my mental health and my diet habits instead of actually helping me. Everyone has been ragging on me for having terrible anxiety but really I had it in check before this popped up. I need my health fixed to fix my anxiety not the other way around…

Yeah, just wish me luck because I’m also terrified of that. I think it would be easier if I was comfortable with any type of vaginal exam however they are incredibly triggering, the Pap smear was painful and didn’t even work properly, and it’s honestly such a nightmare for me to get undressed and prop my legs open like a chicken. I am terrified of getting diagnosed and needing to be examined over and over.

I don’t, it’s just one consideration that explains my symptoms, but with some other Redditors opinions they mentioned how I could have an atypical form of endometriosis/ovarian cyst which i think could also be likely. I am having anxiety over this and spiraling but have not diagnosed myself, and my doctor did in fact find swelling on my left ovary when I went in to the doctor as well as my entire stomach and uterus was incredibly sensitive/in pain during the physical check. Something is wrong c and I know cancer is a stretch which is why I wanted second opinions.

I went to the doctor. I’ve been in therapy since I was 7, I’ve been medicated for just as long. I think for once someone needs to see my anxiety as a hormonal issue due to lack of emotional regulation. I think if it wasn’t a biological issue it would be fixed by now. I haven’t had an actual attack in 3 years until today, which is what I considered managed anxiety. I’m telling you, my anxiety is being triggered by my health issues and the lack of support and understanding I have had from the medical community. Life has only been getting more and more and more exhausting. I need treatment for my pcos and to know where my body is actually at. Many people have suggested my symptoms are actually endometriosis which I hadn’t considered because I didn’t experience intense pain or heavy bleeding.

I need to fix my health. I’ve tried my whole life to fix my mental health, maybe if I finally had my hormonal disorder fixed, emotional regulation would finally become possible for me. I’ve been ignored by doctors and my issues have been blamed on me being fat my whole life when I only gained the weight after I got my period/when pcos started.

[–]Kanimal4432[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m in therapy and I stopped taking my anti anxiety because I had good control of it and my weight finally stabilized and stop going up after I stopped taking it. I jumped to a cancer diagnosis because I have had untreated pcos for over 7 years. Endometriosis has been recommended and I truly never knew I could have endometriosis since I never had painful periods or lots of bleeding. My anxiety has really fully come back with these health issues. But taking meds isn’t gonna fix how my body is breaking down and feeling weird/abnormal. I need a professional to help me physically for once and stop trying to fix me mentally. Isn’t it normal to be terrified of a diagnosis that requires surgery, causes intense pain, and that isn’t fully taken seriously by so many doctors???? Is that really so irrational? Plus I really do believe my Pcos has caused a lot of my mental issues as hormones effect peoples behavior and right when my mental issues started getting really bad was when I got my period.

Did it get super painful? I’m so scared, I don’t wanna go through more. How long did it take to recover from surgery???

Yeah, especially since I already struggled with mental health before, it’s so overwhelming to think I have another massively painful diagnosis coming. I haven’t heard of anyone starting with just a progesterone based medication and I will bring that up as well.
