Cried this morning
I was finally put on the PCOS spectrum last month after years of symptoms and 2 years of trying to get answers. I have been on Spiro for roughly 2 1/2 weeks and been on myo inositol for a few days. I have struggled with acne since I was in the 5th grade and I will be 30 this fall. I have always been insecure regarding my acne. I consider a good day when I wake up and there is no new acne even if the preexisting acne is still there. I work up this morning and looked at my face and cried. This is the first time in a very long time, that my face not only had no new acne, but looked clearer than it did the night before. I felt so overwhelmed and frustrated. Frustrated it took this long for me to look in the mirror and not be frustrated with my looks. Frustrated it took so long to get an answer and even thrn I had to fight to get the answer. My wife found me crying and held me while I explained why. I started to cry again while writing this. I just needed to vent this out someplace safe. I looked in the mirror for the first time today and for the first time, didnt hate what looked back at me.
