She Survives

I have PCOS { Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome}, for any woman out there with the condition { and believe it or not 1 in 10 women have it } they know just now suckie it really is.

I know there are many forms, and many degrees of seriousness to this syndrome and I know many disagree with everything being lumped into the same 'PCOS' term... I'm also well area that many choose to, or do say they are PCOS sufferers... that is their choice, I chose to say I survive with it, because I do.

Unfortunately for me I have a severe form of PCOS and currently survive with many of the extremer symptoms and conditions brought on by the condition.

I also survive with depression.

Some days I survive better then others.

One of the greatest challenges in my life was admitting to myself and others that I had depression. I've seen many dark days, weeks and months. I've lost friends, ambitions and parts of my life to depression, but I'm still here; that is an achievement, for me.

I am currently on antidepressants. I use to think this was failing, but getting help, and the right help for you is very important. 

I survive with being Reproductively Challenged, a by-product of PCOS, again a condition that nearly destroyed me. I will not have children unassisted, and may never at all. This saddens me. But regardless I will have children.

I am dyslexic, I am sure many of you have probably guessed. Sometimes I am woefully bad and others its not apparent, but you will most definitely come across numerous spelling, word and grammatical errors through my posts, yes Ill admit some might be laziness but most are due to the dyslexia....

I don't let it send in my way, despite being told several times I would never be a write I have gone on to have 2 books published and have been quoted or written for numerous worldwide publications.

So you see, despite all this, I do { as my father would say } excellently well :)
