Lately, I've been getting more and more, particular and obsessive about things. If somebody does something that isn't exactly how I want it, I get really frustrated and have to fix it right away or it bothers me for way too long. I am normally not an angry person, but I can get so mad, so easy and i have to really calm myself down. And last, I can't seem to handle stress at all. Is this something that is caused by my PCOS? Or is it just my personality as I get older?

I struggle with this as well. My emotions are a roller coaster. I tend to catch myself and then take a few deep breaths or walk away if possible then come back to talk when calm.

It can be caused from the hormone imbalance from the PCOS. I’ve heard meditation and talking to someone can really help with channeling your stress.

Yes i have been experiencing this exact same thing and its so annoying! Doing the smallest things is complicated and difficult. Our hormones affect so much and its awful!

Same! I get frustrated and overly stressed over such small things. I believe it can be anxiety also. Like frustrated to the verge of tears lol. I try to control it but of course it’s easier said than done. I’ve been experiencing some form of obsessive behavior as well, like “why are the wires from the tv showing?”, “why are the cereal boxes on the left side instead of the right?”. Lol it sounds so crazy but i’m happy you girls can relate.
