Most of us have very similar feelings and symptoms as you do and so I can sympathize with you greatly. In my personal opinion, if the clomid is having visual side effects you should seriously consider stopping it, at least until your next doctors visit. You said you have an appointment in two months--why don't you try asking for glucophage(metformin)instead. Glucophage treats the symptoms of pcos and can possibly rid you of the bloating and weight issues. It can even help you to ovulate and get pregnant. Glucophage did all these things for me and for many others. Personally, I recommend it very highly, it changed my life. It's become a very accepted method for treating pcos all around the world. As for dealing with your emotions, the best thing I can say is this; in an ideal world all our loved ones and friends would be extremely understanding, this is what you deserve. But when they are not understanding and you feel all alone, try to remember to love yourself. You're still a beautiful person and as long as you keep trying to get better and overcome pcos -you should be very very proud of yourself. Try hard not to care what others think, just keep working to make your self better. It took me a life time and I'm finally there. You can do it too! Best of luck.
