I am 26 and I know the sad feeling too. I'm so sorry that it's really
affecting u right now- goes in waves for me. Whenever I feel really
really depressed I do 2 things: (1) I make an appt. w/ my doctor and
see if anything has changed and (2) I exercise. Both pick up my spirits
a little. My endo suggested flutamide for the androgen production last
time I was there- maybe talk to your doc about these types of
treatments??
Hope this helps!
HAve a sunnier day!
