I’ve got a condition called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome ( PCOS ) and maybe Endometriosis
Pcos is a condition that affects how the ovaries work Endometriosis is a long-term condition where the tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places like the ovaries and fallopians tubes Pcos and Endometriosis are both life long conditions Many girls have PCOS and Endometriosis but others can just have one or the other In my case I’m going through tests for both I am so exhausted and the pain is crippling it’s like a knife stabbing me in my ovaries and sometimes back the pain in my legs are like pins and needles from my feet to my thighs the extreme fatigue and mood swings I am exhausted and I’ve been doing so well but I think my depression is coming back and sadly it’s common for PCOS and Endometriosis to cause depression PCOS can also cause high blood pressure which I’ve got and diabetes which they found borderline diabetes in my blood and it affects my breathing it’s like I’m fighting just for oxygen to go into my lungs but I do have panic attacks so people think it’s that and maybe it is but I found something with PCOS and struggles to breathe are common in women with PCOS I’m just sick and tired of my life right now (I am NOT suicidal) i am just sick of always being in extreme pain I was in college on Wednesday and in lesson I just bursted into tears in-front of everyone because of how bad the pain was getting im exhausted of bleeding what looks like cups full of blood I’m sick of being in crippling in pain where I can’t do anything just curl into a ball and cry I feel so bad for family and friends with my mood swings I can be really nasty and snappy at people but I don’t mean it and I am sick of the fatigue I’m down with these conditions I really am we got idiots making themselves sicks and I am just thinking to myself you can have my conditions if you want but I generally wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy if any of you are going through this I am here for you and we can be crippled together but to anyone else just be patient with us we might see bitchy but your not seeing the half of it you can’t really do much just be there for us but sorry for this very messy rant.😂💓

@Summerjune15 this sounds genuinely awful what you're experiencing. I'm glad you're going through the testing to get some answers and solutions hopefully but it's exhausting to be in this much pain all the time. Everything you've mentioned sounds very valid and I just wanna say you're totally okay to rant on here!! I hope you're also kind to yourself during these moments, being in constant pain would make anyone snap honestly. My periods aren't as extreme as yours, however I do experience excessive bleeding (on my clothes and bed no matter how many cups, pads or period underwear I use) and body crippling cramps that make those 7 days hell. I don't know why our bodies function this way but you're not alone!! I know this might seem a bit unrealistic but I'd definitely encourage to not always try and hide how much pain you're in, even when you're at college. It sounds like your suffering is increased just to make those around you more comfortable which is not fair at all, please continue coming here to talk about what you're going through! We're here to listen. Periods suck

yeah it is horrible I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I had to message SHOUT last night because I was so fed up and my suicidal thoughts came back (I was okay after an hour of talking). I’m glad that I’m finally getting tested even though it’s not for another 2-3 months. So it’s just hot water bottles for me constantly. But I brought a period heating belt it’s honestly saved my life. Definitely get one if you struggle with cramps. Paracetamol doesn’t help me at all. But thank goodness the belt help’s. About the heavy bleeding I understand completely. I can’t tell you how many clothes I’ve ruined. I’m terrified if I do come on in college. Most of my class are full of males so I’m terrified. Sometimes I can’t control it but I do hide it when I can. I’m just terrified. What if I make the class uncomfortable college. What would people think. Like when I just randomly burst out in tears in lesson which was very embarrassing. I really don’t know why our body’s have to function this way. We already bleed we don’t need the cramps and mood swings etc. But they horrible conditions. Thank you for being so understanding💕
