So im completely new to this type of thing and im not very sure as to what to say but ill take a stab in the dark.... (just to put everyone on the same page, i also suffer from depression/anxiety so this is a big thing for me to do)
My partner and i have been together for 6 years and with no luck in the baby department as yet, This time last year i got diagnosed with PCOS and it really shocked and scared me for a while there, you know thinking that i would never have a family of my own..... i mean i have the works... overweight, irregular periods, unwanted hair you name it, i have it.
So since then i have tried exercising my heart out/eating right plus i know this is going to sound crazy to most but i even set up a room in the house with baby items in it with my exercise equipment to keep me motivated, Which works well.
But what really gets to me is that ( i know this is going to sound sad or even hateful but its only true) family members and friends so happy with their newborns and children and i wonder why im not worthy, what have a done which makes me such a bad person that i shouldn't be blessed with having children. The toughest thing is that i have to congrats them and be happy for them in which i truly am but i just find it so hard to put on a smile and pretend everything is just fine. plus when i try to explain what im going through, they always say "you know, your only young, you have heaps of time for a family."
Its so crippling that i cant even hold my newborn niece because of it... silly i know.
Anyways i guess im hear to spill it all out because well my sister in law said it may help to find people out there which are battling the same battle.
