Questions to chew on…
Posted on: July 22, 2009
Everyone has been wonderful about sending in their stories to be included in the book. I could still use some more, however. I need more stories from adult women (or women who were recently teens, even) about what it was like being a teenager with PCOS. One respondent asked me to help her put her story together by offering some questions…SO, I thought it might help here too. If you’re willing to tell your story but are a little blocked (i.e. “writer’s block”) to start, take a swing at these:
- What did it feel like, as a teenager, to be diagnosed with PCOS?
- How has your perspective on PCOS changed since your diagnosis?
- As an adult, what advice would you give to a teen girl dealing with a new PCOS diagnosis?
- How do you feel now as an adult dealing with PCOS? Has your perspective changed any since your diagnosis?
You can send your stories to me at pcosstories@gmail.com. A pseudonym will be used with your story in the book, so that confidentiality is maintained. If you have any questions, let me know!
THANKS AGAIN!!!
