I know that >>you can't make anyone else happy until you are happy with yourself and I >>am not and do not know how to do that. >> >>Please help(sorry so long) any advise would help. I feel your pain also. I have a wonderful husband who acts like he doesn't care about my hair growth and I truly believe he doesn't, but it's very hard. I hid a lot of the hair growth from him for a long time and he says that it doesn't matter what I look like, he will still love me. I just have a hard time understanding how he could love me like I am, I think that may be where you are having a hard time, too. Your boyfriend probably does love you and doesn't care if you do have hair; however then you may see him lust over a Victoria Secret commercial and think, how can he love me because he's lusting over this commerial? I believe that when men fall in love they don't care what you look like because they are in love; however that doesn't prevent them from looking at other women. I just have to remind myself that he is looking at these women as objects and I'm the real thing. I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS yet, I am going to an endocrinologist soon. I don't know about the medicines and there interactions with other drugs, but you may consider an anti-depressant to help your mood. I'm going on one soon and am hopeful that it will help. I am so glad that I found this board because I thought I was the only person who was like this. Minni- I hope my analysis helps. Maybe I'm way off base, and if I am I'm sorry. This is the way I feel though.
