So I just got diagnosed with PCOS. I’m able to work full time and but finding that managing doctor’s appointments and new lifestyle choices feels overwhelming. Any tips for coping & self compassion?

Gym on lunch break. No juicing. Whole grain is a lie. Keto works for some but if you’re eating lots of eggs, cheese, bacon and steak, that can actually not help a whole lot with your insulin sensitivity (try greens, doodles, cauliflower...get a ton of lower carb veggies in, fish, olive oil, etc.). Walk, especially after meals. Get in those steps. But remember: YMMV. Everyone is different. Don’t stress and don’t beat yourself up. You got this!

Treat yourself to a good cookbook, some nice workout wear, and some grocery delivery. Or whatever you feel will make YOU feel like you can cope better.

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there.

This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
