@therealgabagool: I am angry, but I’m accepting. I am impatient, but I’m inspired. I am hurting, but I am hopeful. I am exhausted, but I am enthusiastic. PCOS is a chronic illness often times invisible to the naked eye—while it does its damage on the inside. PCOS is depression. PCOS is isolation. PCOS is constant fatigue and brain fog. PCOS is crying out of frustration. PCOS is feeling dismissed and misunderstood. PCOS is a fighter. And when you fight back, it fights harder. PCOS is feeling inadequate. PCOS is my body feeling like it should shut down every day. PCOS is unpredictable. PCOS is invisible. But it is not imaginary. Lately hope has been looking different. It is honoring the need for extra rest. It is writing every chance I get. It is listening to sad songs. It is calling my mom and crying on the phone. It is loving myself and my body enough to get help through various avenues. It is perseverance. And today, that’s enough for me. Because I’m tired. #pcos #fertility #loss #womenshealth #motherhood
