cPTSD and PCOS
I am wondering how many people have both.
It seems like there is an increasing amount of research suggesting that chronic early childhood abuse and adverse childhood experiences can contribute to the development of PCOS.
I feel like this may be the case for me. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was just a teen. I was not overweight, and I did not have a family history of it. I'm sure there are other physiological factors that may have helped contribute to it, too, but I don't have any other identifiable physical conditions.
I do have cPTSD and DPDR. My therapist said that based on what I have told her, I have had cPTSD since I was very little, since the abuse started before I even can remember and never stopped.
