Anxiety and Depression

We know that depression and anxiety are just a couple of the many things we suffer with when we have PCOS. I know this all to well.  I want to take a minute and tell you a little bit about mine. I have always been shy and kind of backwards and I knew my hormones were messed up.  I knew something was not right when I started having panic attacks about going anywhere by myself. I was depressed about my weight gain and I think it all snowballed from there. I ended up having to quit working because I would have really bad panic attacks about having to go that I would become hysterical thinking about it.  I knew I was in real trouble because I could not function outside of my house by myself anymore. I was just so full of different emotions that I had no idea how to deal with them. I felt out of control and feeling that made my OCD worse. My doctor at the time referred me to a psychiatrist.  I was told I had severe anxiety, depression and OCD. Well isn't this just great lets keep adding to the list of things wrong with me. He asked me what I wanted from all this I told him I just wanted to feel normal again.  I felt like a stranger in my own body. Well through the years I have been on several different medicines and I had diffent reactions to each one.  Some made me shake really bad and Zoloft caused me to gain forty pounds.  Well I didn't need that I was already depressed about the massive amount of weight I gained because of my PCOS.  The only thing they all had in common was making me into a zombie.  I knew I didn't want to live my life like this so I set out to find a natural way to take care of it.  I went off all of the other medicines  to clear my mind so I could think again. I have found supplements that have really been helping me.  So please know that there is a natural way to control the anxiety and depression besides going on  medicines that have a lot of side effects.   ~ Tammy
