He left because of my PCOS… but that wasn’t the end of my story
I don’t usually post, but I feel like someone here might need to hear this.
PCOS has honestly been one of the hardest things I’ve dealt with. The weight gain, constant fatigue, mood swings, irregular cycles… and the worst part feeling like you’re losing control over your own body.
I was in a relationship during all this, and instead of support, it slowly turned into blame.
Comments like “Why can’t you just lose weight?” “Other girls manage, why can’t you?”
And eventually… he left.
Not gonna lie, that broke me more than PCOS ever did.
A few months later, something random happened.
I met this guy from my high school in a supermarket. We hadn’t talked in years. Just a casual “hey”, exchanged socials, nothing serious.
But over time, we started talking… and he noticed things no one else did. Not in a judgmental way. Just… genuinely caring.
He never tried to “fix” me. He just helped me understand things better.
Some small things that actually made a difference:
• Helped me focus on consistency over perfection
• Encouraged simple walks instead of extreme workouts
• Made me more aware of what I was eating without guilt
• Suggested checking ingredients (which I never paid attention to before)
• Even showed me this app he used to scan food & skincare ingredients which surprisingly helped me avoid things that triggered bloating or skin issues
It wasn’t some overnight transformation.
There were still bad days. Still struggles.
But slowly… things started improving.
Not 100%. But better.
And more importantly — I started feeling like myself again.
I think the biggest thing I learned is this:
-> The wrong person will make you feel like a burden for something you’re already struggling with.
-> The right person will stand beside you and help you fight it.
If you’re going through PCOS and feeling alone, please know:
You’re not lazy
You’re not “less” because of your body
And you’re definitely not unlovable
Healing takes time. And the right people will stay. 💛
