How To Cope With Feelings Of Inadequacy?
A myPCOSteam Member asked a question 💭

I’m not sure if anyone else has felt this way, but I feel incredibly ‘broken’ for lack of better wording. I’m constantly battling with myself around feelings of inadequacy and feel like I’m failing as a woman for not being able to get pregnant. The more I get into this cycle, the less I am motivated to go to the gym and stick to my diets. I’m on antidepressants but I’m worried they’re just making me feel nothing! Any advice ?

I feel you.. most of the time especially lately i feel like im less of a person because i cant get pregnant. Everyone around me is popping out kids like its nothing (dont get me wrong im so happy for them) but then i feel like im nothing. I feel like i did this to myself some how. I look back on everything ive ever done in my life, but then i think i havnt really done anything to bad to do this to myself.. i want a baby more then anything, but for now im glad to be able to be close to my best friends little boy (4 months old) and i call him my lil nephew ♥️ i love him like id love my own.

This group is amazing. Thank you for the support. I might have a look for some more ‘self care’ bits because I’m getting into a cycle of having so much resentment against myself for my body not working! It’s not healthy! Xx

ya know i use to feel that way all the time and sometimes i still do, but the thing is to remember pcos is not your fault, and you are no less nor are you broken, i read a article from this specialist who talked about forgiving our bodies and not blaming ourselves for things that we physically cant control and reastablishing the heart womb connection, so what i would say is just remember you are enough and you are NOT broken!, and as far as antidepressants go i take a natural supplement for depression and my anxiety, but you might need to speak to your doc about, and remember we are all for you and if you wanna talk im here, i hope this helps <3

You are definitely not alone. I’ve said those very same words to my hubby. 💗
