Bullying has some consequences, there are kids killing themselves for severe bullying. In many households, it is very common to bully their own kids, this might seem odd to many people how can a family bully their own kids?! But under the umbrella of “Hum toh mazak kar rahy hain” parents and relatives usually forgo the emotions of their kids. They bully them for their grades, for their looks, for their skin color and what not!
This girl who was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in her late teens and was severely bullied and lived with it for three years. PCOS is a common disease that is now widespread into many girls who are in their childbearing age. Where irregular periods, unwanted hair, acne are few of the many symptoms that occur in PCOS!
She wrote how such an uncertain thing would turn into a misery; which later leads her to attempt suicide
Today I really wanna talk about my facial hair journey, and pour my heart out.
In 2015 I was diagnosed with PCOS and was only 18. My periods were irregular, do do, teen teen mahinay guzar jatay thay and gaining weight so I decided ke main doctor ke pass jaon and get my check up done, so I went and kuch tests huye and phir pata chala ke unfortunately I have PCOS and still being through everyday. In 2015 ke starting main hi mere face par baal anne lagay thay and got really bad after few months since then PCOS effects me every single day. Plucking the hairs out of my chin every morning and have to wax every week isn’t easy at all and having to wear tight scarf that cover my face makes me feel just horrible until this day. PCOS is very much ruined my teenage days and it still ruining my life. I just HATE leaving my house even my room because I have crippling anxiety due to the fact I have facial hair all over my body and face and people will judge me and make fun of me. I have sucha bad self-esteem because of my PCOS. But jis cheez ka darr tha wohi hua, at one point in my life, I’ve had people asking me “why you’re so hairy there and there? I saw people made fun of me meri ankhon ke samne hi, my friends and my own family members. I remember once I tired to explain them that what I’m going through and one of my own family member said I think you’re a maard and tumhari tou itni gandi daari aati hay and was telling everyone ke rida ke daari aati hay, kon iss maard say shadi karayga and everyone was laughing their asses off. Mujhe achi tarhan yaad hay I went inside my room crying without anyone knowing and was about to drink bleach (not a joke) and wanted to kill myself, I was super depressed and the pain I was going through you guys have no idea, and meri zindagi main ek aisa bhi moor aya hai ke believe me or not for a longest time I wanted to die or kill myself, main chahti thi ke ya tou mujhe koi maar de ya main khod kuch karlo apne sath when I hear those hurtful comments from my own family which they think it’s a joke. I was going through hell and mujhe yaad hay not even a single night ke main jab royi nae. I remember I used to pray ke Allah mujhe kyun nae utha rahay app, why you’re still making me alive, kya apko nae dekh raha ke main kis daard say guzar rahi hon, maine kabhi apne jeene ki dua nae ki namaz main not even once after that incident, bhot dafa suicide attempts ki maine because of those bullies, I just hated my life and used to disown myself. I was mentally sick and tired, mera confident 0% hogaya tha, main teen teen, chaar chaar dino tak room main band rehna pasand karti thi, couldn’t talk to anyone properly. And sometimes I still get those suicidal thoughts trust me and guess what I still gets those tanaas ke “tum maard ho maard, koi tumse shadi nae karayga” but main phir sochti hon ke rida ab tou tum bari hogai ho, strong hogai ho, jab tum bilkul tooti hui thi, tab sambhal sakti ho apne apko when you were alone, when your own friends and family member weren’t there for you and still not, didn’t like you and disown you, made fun of yours infront of so many people, tou ab kuch bhi karsakti ho tum, tumhari beemari theek hojayegi dekhna, just focus on yourself and believe in Allah. And for people who’s wondering that how am I doing now? I’m fine, I still get facial hair, my periods still get delayed at times but I’m working on my health, I didn’t give up.Ps: Bhot se log yeh sab shayad mazak samajhay ya ura rahy honge is post ko dekh kar but believe me never make fun of people who’s ill cause youve no idea that what the other person is going through.
Unwanted hair is one of the symptoms in PCOS and she was called a “mard”
