I discovered how to embrace my body's natural rhythms and transform challenges into strengths. Join me as I navigate PMDD while honoring my unique neurological needs.
I relate with so much of your description of your experience. You’ve been able to put words to something, I’ve struggled with for years. Thanks so much for sharing this.
The part about not being able to stand your partner and feeling that guilt, really hit me too. For me as well, my partner is my anchor, and it is so hard to feel all of that at the same time. And they did nothing to earn how I feel during that phase.
Glad you found Pepcid too, that was an absolute lifesaver for me. I love how you shared your calendar and thinking about things cyclically. I just dread the time, but you’ve offered a mindset shift and I’m here for it!
Hey Elizabeth, I'm really glad this resonated with you. The part about my partner is the most difficult aspect of this to me. The luteal phase intensifies feelings of disgust and frustration towards my partner. That's the reason why naming my desires and demanding space early in my cycle is imperative. Those feelings will be even more striking if I don't. I've found that having deep, meaningful, and intimate conversations with him prior to my luteal phase to be very useful to my dysphoria later on. Let me know if you try the cyclical process and give it a good three months to see if it helps you!
I appreciate all of your time and energy beyond measure.
Thank you for articulating such accurate depictions of pmdd. It’s very nice to know I’m not the only werewolf, although I wish no one had to deal with this.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! PMDD is such a lonely and isolating experience. I am grateful for what I have learned from my body because of it. Easing the symptoms has been an empowering journey. Wishing you wellness ❤️🩹
Thank you for sharing your experience and tips.
I don't have a diagnosis of PMDD, but I've often wondered, as i experience extreme mood changes and overstimulation in my luteal phase.
I will definitely keep these tips in mind. ❤️🔥
You're welcome ☺️ I also don't have a formal diagnosis. I'm self diagnosed with it because I just don't trust gynos anymore smh
