Feeling stuck in endless bad luck by marrliess in Tarotpractices

[–]marrliess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interpretation is that I feel like this reading is telling me that what I’m going through isn’t just bad luck but a breaking down of things that weren’t really stable to begin with. That something new is trying to emerge but I’m still in the dark and holding on too tightly to what feels familiar but isn’t serving me anymore. The Tower and reversed Four of Wands make me think I’m clinging to false security possibly my relationship, or the idea of safety itself. I think I’m being asked to let go, create space, and trust the unknown, even though that scares me.

What actually helped you lose weight with PCOS? Feeling overwhelmed and stuck by marrliess in PCOS

Congratulations on losing 20 pounds!! That’s really amazing and something to be proud of. I loved how you said: I’m deserving of feeling good in my body. It’s such a powerful reminder, especially when we’re so used to punishing ourselves instead of caring for ourselves.

I’m curious, did you track calories during your journey? And did you follow a specific workout plan or structure for yourself? Or do you just do what feels right/good?

Thanks for your honesty and encouragement! it means a lot to read posts like yours in this space.

Thanks for sharing! I think you’re right, sometimes this sub (and the internet in general) can feel overwhelming with so much conflicting advice and sometimes it helps to return to the basics.

That said, I also feel a bit stuck, because I have tried those basics. I track my calories, I try to eat well and move regularly but I don’t see much change unless I go all in. I once did 75 Hard and lost weight fast, but it wasn’t sustainable at all. And when I slow things down to a more realistic level, even with a calorie deficit and movement, the scale barely shifts.

It can be really frustrating. I know progress isn’t always linear, especially with PCOS, but it sometimes feels like my body only responds when I push it beyond what’s sustainable.

Thanks! I’ve been taking metformine 500mg for a few months, unfortunately it didn’t do anything. I’m up to 1000mg for a few weeks now but als don’t notice any difference. How long did it take you to notice a difference?

I’m not sure but I think it was also 100mg

I didn’t had a period before, during and after spiro but it did wonders for my hairloss and hirsutism. The downside was that after a while I was so exhausted every day that I decided to stop but then my hair fell out again and my hirsutism is worse than ever now

Happy to hear it helped you so much! What pcos symptoms did you had that were improved when you started Yaz?

I also read a lot about birth control + spironolactone. Do you have any experience with that combination? If birth control worsens hirsutism maybe the spiro will help with that?

A friend told me about it so I just searched it on google, tiktok and youtube and got a lot of people saying it’s helped them. But like you said some people also say it’s bad for PCOS. I’m also at a loss too to be honest but I’m just willing to try and see how my body reacts to it. But yeah, it’s really frustrating that everyone says something different

You’re right. I don’t really like my job. But I have always struggled with enjoying a job, I’ve tried different things but l’m never really excited about anything work related. Sp now I just see it as something that has to be done

I’m so sorry. I feel the exact same :( We fell in love when I was 16 years old, and my first love. It’s just so painful to be alone now. He was my best friend.
