Hi. I’m Karen. And I have PCOS.
I was diagnosed my late 20s and at the time I was single AF. There was nothing I wanted more, than to fall in love. I wasn’t very self-confident and it was hard for me to put myself out there, meet new people and go on dates.
When the diagnosis came, I though: “Oh great! Yet another thing, that is wrong with me!”. So many questions started to pop into my head almost immediately. If I ever find someone I like, how do I tell him and when? Will he leave me, if I tell him? Will anyone ever like me despite PCOS? Is my anxiety related to this? It was hard, but you know what: Eventually I figured it out and found some answers. I adopted a healthy lifestyle and worked a lot on my self confidence. I started to love myself more and eventually met someone, I feel I want to spend the rest of my life with.
I’m in my 30s now, happy and in a loving relationship. Was it easy? Hell no. Was it worth it? You bet!
I started this blog to talk about PCOS with a focus on mental health, self-care and relationships. I want to share, what I’ve learned over the years and hope, that my journey can help other women trying to come to terms with their PCOS diagnosis.
