I’ve suffered from both anxiety and depression as symptoms of PCOS. Due to unexplained weight gain and persistent moon face, I became overweight but am still active and eating well. People comment on my body, uninvited and unprovoked. At 5’8”, I’m strong, muscular and curvy, which makes me stand out. Aunties don’t care how hard you work out or what you’re struggling with; if you don’t fit into their box, you’re judged. Someone accused me once of eating too much and said I should stop consuming chocolate (I barely eat it). South Asian aunties can be unhinged and their comments have left me in shock.
