Im here if you need to talk. Angi@adoptasap.org or AdoptASAP@psouth.net
I have been in your shoes. I was diagnosed last year with mild manic
depressive. Therapy, support and getting your PCOS undercontrol will do
you a WORLD of good.
PLEASE contact your RE/Gyna/Therapist about this NOW! YOu need one on
one help immediately. See if there is a help line for you whenever you
need it. Keep it by the phone. We are here for you!
