I wonder how you took it...
im sweepy..
Three years ago, I asked Wiki what is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome? The response was: answer

I was diagnosed when I was 23 years old--I was totally clueless when my previous OB formally concluded that I have PCOS.

As soon as I arrived home, I googled what the heck does this syndrome mean .. and most of what I read online scared me. Obesity + Not ovulating + Infertility + Excess Androgen. + Scary Etc stuff.  When I saw women support groups, I realized that this is a real issue. I cried and got depressed because of a diagnosis that I half-understood. 

I was crying because of how scary it sounded. I was scared of the Infertility word.
I was scared because nobody knew about it--nobody from my immediate family and friends knew much about it and I felt that it was just me explaining to people what it is. 
It was just me.


Depression set in.. took prescribed OCP.. ballooned gained weight.. got frustrated.. was numb.. eventually I stopped putting an effort on it.. I was just floating.

Until now.

I wonder how you took it...

Today is the day to get started. Make it Happen!
im sweepy..
First Entry. Wow. First Step.
I have been attempting to start this blog for the longest time, but I never really had the push shove to sit down and start writing typing.

First, thank you for finding time to visit my blog-this serves as a Shrink to me as I write down my highs and lows, my experiments, my roadblocks and my "natural high" moments.
I hope this blog also serves as a shrink for everyone too. That in some areas, I do understand the crap you have been going through..and the whirlwind of emotions that goes with it.

To start off, let me share light on myself. Just 3 things. And the rest, Im sure you will get to know more of me as I spill my guts in this Webby world.

* I'm Sweepy, I just hit my 26th year.

* I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) -was diagnosed 3 years ago. I went through phases of emotions.. from confusion (why the hell do I have it), to frustrations (what else can I do) to numbness (I don't care).
Then I had a "scare" checkUp 3 days ago, I had a 3-minute talk with an OB Sonologist (while having an ultrasound). And it finally hit me that I have to do something about this. I shouldn't just try. I should make it happen.

* I'm not a writer by profession. But I could recall that writing was my hobby when I was a kid. Writing my own "books" and writing on my journals. I won't be particular with my words-I just want everything raw and uneditted. Emotions fresh and sincere. Just like 'talking' to a friend.

Today is the Start.. it definitely won't be easy.
But we're talking about my health.. my life..so that definitely makes the ohh so difficult times worth it.
