CysterSister - Life with PCOS....

This afternoon I delve a little bit into my experience with excess hair in places it shouldn’t be. It’s one of those factors about PCOS that it’s often spoken about - almost like it’s taboo.

Don’t get me wrong, just because I’m choosing to vocalise my feelings relating to this, doesn’t mean it’s easy for me. I went back and forth about posting such a “graphic” post but I just feel that if I can help even someone, a young or older person, struggling the same way as myself. Then that is something that I can do to help.

Any nasty or trolling comments will not be tolerated.

Digital Detox with #iamwholeuk

Tomorrow is Digital Detox day - so for the whole day I will be offline on all platforms. I have to say, I’m rather looking forward to it. There is always some degree of obsession that you have to scroll through a newsfeed, or you have to go and like some pictures on Instagram to communicate. There’s also a darker side to Social Media, one that very few people see in pictures and profiles.

Digital Detox is about turning those social platforms off for one day, getting back to being grounded, being present and living in the moment with family and friends - without technology or screens being the focal point. I’m excited to just relax, be with family and not have to be constantly dortacted by notifications that “Jane has updated her status...” or that “Captain Jack has just uploaded a instaTV.”

So, with that said. I will be posting on Sunday! 💞

Hey all!

I hope you are having a better day than the rain I’m currently experiencing in Essex.

I wanted to blog something today, but unfortunately yesterday was not a good day, and I’m still feeling the effects from that.

If I perk up a bit later, then I will for sure post something! But with, at least my, PCOS - I have noticed that I do have these fluctuating moods of contentment, positivity and motivation and then just a complete miserable, down and low mood/day. I think it’s just where I’m adapting and coming to terms with everything.

It’s such a weird thing - coming to terms with a diagnosis. I know to some this probably seems pathetic, I mean there’s women out there who have been given months to live. But let’s not forget also, PCOS is a lifelong incurable condition. With a whole myriad of complications that can come along with it, like Type 2 Diabetes, Endometriosis, Infertility and Heart Disease. They also say that women with PCOS who are fortunate enough to to conceive carry a 45% chance of developing preeclampsia which is quite a serious condition for pregnant women. So although, I probably sound like I’m being dramatic, when I think about all that, I think I’m entitled to feel scared, worried and upset, whilst I come to terms with it all.....

Shout out to all my fellow Cyster’s out there - here’s hoping your having a better day! 💞✨

My Autumnal Mood Board is finally here!

This took me so long to make and edit yesterday - so it is a bit late being posted. I’m super happy with it and it literally feels me with so much joy! I’m even ready to try out a PSL or PSHC (Pumpkin Spice Latte/Hot Chocolate) as I’ve never tried anything Pumpkin Spice!

I digress, here’s the Mood Board;

I just love the warming colours, the contrasts from the dark and crisp, cold mornings. The heat and coziness from a fire or extra fluffy blanket. The decorative pumpkins and of course Harry Potter ALL DAY LONG!

September has started which means it is officially my FAVOURITE season and time of the year.
