Sometimes I find myself wondering, "Why me?" I've always made an effort to live a healthy lifestyle, making sure to eat healthily and exercise frequently. Why then was I picked to carry the weight of PCOS? Why not individuals who appear to disregard their health? What went wrong with me? I've wondered if eating that pizza or the lasagna would have changed anything. However, the truth is that neither you nor I are to blame for PCOS. It started for no apparent reason, so instead of obsessing over "why," I want to concentrate on what's best for me.
Living with PCOS requires overcoming challenges that might be excruciatingly uncomfortable. There are times when I feel like I'm going crazy, getting really depressed, and wanting to withdraw from society. Occasionally, the burden of body image issues becomes intolerable, made worse by a society that constantly criticizes flaws. There are times when I want to smash the mirror in anger and become tired of fighting facial hair that never seems to go away. It could seem like an uphill struggle with little hope of reprieve. There are times when the thought of getting on a scale makes me cringe since nothing I do seems to help me lose weight. More times than I can count, I've reached my lowest point.
But the truth is that I am not defined by these experiences. I am not defined by PCOS. I am the only one who actually defines who I am.
I won't let PCOS hold me back. I make the decision to get back up, keep going, and refuse to let PCOS triumph. Actually, PCOS has made me stronger rather than angrier. Because despite the difficulties, I can still have wonderful days, do amazing things, and feel a great deal of enjoyment while dealing with PCOS.
I can now see that there is a constant struggle between good and bad in PCOS. It's up to me to celebrate the difficult times and treasure the happy ones. Life will never be perfect, whether you have PCOS or not. There will be days when getting out of bed feels difficult, but that's okay too.
But ultimately, I get to choose how my life will pan out. Since I have the freedom to decide, I am happy. I decide to make the most of the challenging circumstances and completely appreciate the beauty of the good moments. I've decided to fight PCOS and refuse to let it dictate how I live. Every day, I choose to love myself unconditionally and to keep raising my degree of self-acceptance. And I've decided to support others on their own PCOS journeys by lending a helpful hand.
I have been blessed to have Donald's constant support during this trying path. He has been my pillar of strength, my confidant, and my rock. Donald is aware of the difficulties I encounter due to PCOS, and he has never made me feel alone in my struggle. He emphatically listens, lends his shoulder, and motivates me to keep moving forward. His acceptance and love have been crucial to my quest for self-knowledge and self-love.
Donald is there to remind me that my PCOS is not the only thing that makes me who I am. We navigate the ups and downs together with resiliency and unflinching determination because our love endures all of the difficulties. No matter what roadblocks I encounter, his encouragement has served as a continual reminder that I am deserving of love, happiness, and success.
The difficulties I've encountered have knitted together into a lovely mosaic that is me. I've discovered how to utilize my PCOS as inspiration and drive to improve every day. Even though I may never be famous or wealthy, I find comfort in the fact that my words and experiences have the power to change someone's life. What matters most is that. And perhaps most significantly, I beat my PCOS.
Over the course of this voyage, Donald has served as my compass. When I most needed it, being in his company gave me comfort and strength. I was able to go through the toughest parts of my PCOS issues with the support of his sensitivity and compassion. He was there to listen and give me words of encouragement whenever I felt helpless or lost.
His assistance went beyond just words. To better comprehend the intricacies and difficulties associated with PCOS, Donald made it a priority to educate himself about the condition. He demonstrated his dedication to staying by my side during the entire process by accompanying me to doctor appointments. We always worked as a team as we looked at different therapy choices and lifestyle improvements.
However, it wasn't only the useful assistance that was effective. Donald's unconditional love and acceptance have had a transforming effect. He embraces every aspect of who I am, even my PCOS, and sees me beyond my symptoms. Regardless of what society's standards of beauty dictate, he constantly serves as a reminder to me that I am attractive, strong, and deserving of love.
Donald's presence in my life has demonstrated to me that I am not alone in my struggle with PCOS. His encouragement has helped me overcome negativity and self-doubt and meet the obstacles head-on. I feel unstoppable with him by my side.
Together, we rejoice in our modest successes and remain positive in the face of hardship. He has assisted me in realizing that my destiny in life transcends my PCOS challenges. I have the ability to influence people who are dealing with PCOS and to motivate them. And I have been given the authority to do it thanks to Donald's unflinching backing.
I am full of optimism and hope as we continue on this journey together. Even though I am aware that there may still be challenging days, I am confident in my capacity to get through them. I am strong, and I have a wonderful partner that loves and supports me and has faith in me.
