Hi girls,

Does anyone have any difficulty with feeling really down, in the past I've really not been a  down or said person and if ever I am in a bad mood (rarely) it never shows on the outside, but recently I just can not shift this like dull sad feeling its really getting me down now and I don't know what to do, I really want children in the future and the though of that potentially not being an option due to PCOS reall scares me i'm 21 and would like to start a family after being with my partne for 4+ years and it certainly worries me that he may get fed up and think well I don't have to deal with this and find someone that wil be able to give him children, don't think i've ever really opened up about this so this was kinda hard just I don't feel my self anymore and would like some advise about how im feeling! Normally i'm a really happy smily kind of person and it takes a lot to bring me down.

Thank you

    maybe try talking about how your feeling to friends or family,

    try taking st Johns Wort and tumeric for alleviating depression symptoms.

    excercise, get out of the house as much as possible and get 8 hour (not more or less) sleep cut out coffee smile

    I suffer with depression and that has helped me

      Thank you Amber, I do drink a lot of coffee with me working in an office 9-5 maybe cutting it out will help I have tried before but get the worst headaches which i imagine is from caffiene withdrawal!
