Yes Yes Yes. This can be PCOS. Your hormones being wacky can make you feel depressed and emotionally strung out like this. I was diagnosed as bi-polar and then clinically depressed (different drs different diagnoses). I was treated with anti-depression pills for two years..

I never saw a big difference with them other than being able to sleep more. In fact I felt more whacked out than ever.

I gave up the pills when I change over insurances. Nothing changed.

It wasn't until I was diagnosed with PCOS and seeked out a dr who was knowledgable in it that the moods got easier!

Go see you dr. - make them test your levels and get help for the pcos.. i bet it will help level out your emotions.

Best of luck to you! Let us know what happens
