PMDD is a hormone-based mood disorder where symptoms are only present in the luteal phase - that js between ovulation & around the time of your period. Premenstrual symptoms include a constellation of mood, behavioral, and physical indications that occur in a cyclic pattern prior to menstruation and then wane off after the menstrual period in women of reproductive age. By when it's overwhelming, consult a doctor. Request people who matter, to be a bit more affectionate and loving towards you; and you, on the other hand, tell yourself that it's just a lousy trick your hormones play on you; you can pull it off better than this. In case you break down, it's okay too. Talk to someone who offers a safe place, and bring yourself back up. You got this. . .

Boosted! In late October the CDC updated their list of conditions that may result in severe COVID-19 to include mood disorders, like depression, anxiety and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Since I live in one of the most densely populated cities in the US, rely on public transit, and am working on site at work regularly once more, I had all the more reason to increase my defenses against infection. (I also got a seasonal flu shot last month.) You can see the CDC's guidelines for COVID-19 vaccine booster shots here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html?s_cid=11706:cdc%20covid%20booster%20shot%20guidelines:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN:FY22 And #pmddpeeps, definitely look into getting your booster. We have our hands full battling PMDD as it is; none of us need the risk of a severe case of COVID-19 on top of that! (at Walgreens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWNKZfIr0e_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Everything makes sense

My PMDD has started early because every time I see anything even slightly romantic my heart feels like it’s breaking. I want that for myself so badly that I genuinely think I could die of heartbreak if I see anyone in love that isn’t me lol. I wake up from dreams of love and the rest of my day is shrouded in ennui from knowing none of it was real. It’s only further encouragement to throw myself into the coma my PMDD so desperately wants me to be in. I hate how obsessed I am with romantic love. I hate how much I feel like I need it, no matter how accomplished and happy I feel with my self, no matter how comfortable I am in my own company, no matter how confident and sure I am of who I am, I can’t help but want to find a piece to complete my already complete puzzle. I know days from now I’ll turn around and remember who I am, I’ll be focused on my life and the love I already have in my life but for now I weep over a lover I have never known.

thank you for listening.

Sleepy smiles to activate face happiness.
