Basically what happens when you have PMDD is that your body can’t handle the fluctuations in hormones throughout your menstrual cycle and goes insane. Onsets during the luteal phase and stops at menstruation. This accounts for almost half the month. Half the year. Half of your life.
Common symptoms are panic attacks, emotional dysregulation (irritability, rejection to sensitivity, and crying mostly for me), hopelessness and depression, extreme lethargy or insomnia, and muscle and joint pain. Just to name a few.
And women are just expected to live half their lives like this. Usually because something shitty happened that traumatized them before they got their period.
Oh and conveniently only recognized solution is SSRI’s. I say that as someone who is medicated and has seen the benefits of anti-depressants. However, I have found 10x healing through breathwork and healthy relationships. But breath and love are free so they’ll keep selling pills.
