▲ 1 r/PCOS

I'm 16 and I have pcos. My cycle is very irregular - about 50-70 days long(my period is pretty painful and heavy). This issue has been bothering me a lot lately. I've been diagnosed several years ago, and my symptoms only got worse. I'm afraid all the prescribed medications didn't work for me. It's the reason my mom and I started fighting. She thinks that I'm being dramatic and overlooks my problems. She believes it'll work out for me when i get older. She already does a lot for me and I don't want to disappoint her with my complaints. Given that my medication doesn't work, she might actually be right, but I'm afraid of ignoring the treatment as it may get even worse. On top of that, i feel less of a woman because I didn't experience many things. I feel that i don't belong. I'm also really insecure about my appearance(I'm struggling to lose weight). No guy has ever approached me, let alone the fact that I've never had a relationship. I've never had any mutual sympathy either. I have a strong feeling that something is wrong with me. It's makes me think that I don't deserve unconditional love. The only way i can explain this fact to me is not being feminine enough even though I know that being a woman automatically makes me feminine. Recently, I've discovered that pcos can be linked to psychosomatics, meaning I'm forcing myself into thinking that I'm not a woman. I believe in mind and body connection. So it makes a total sense for me.

I'm not quite sure if it's a thing, but I'm willing to try anything at this point. I usually don't post anything online because I'm afraid of receiving bad responses. But I feel like some people have more experience than me and might actually know about psychosomatics.
