Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.

ALSO! If you start having those feelings and suspect you’re heading towards perimenopause, talk to your doctor.

Basically, if you have a uterus and you start having extreme mood swings every month, that’s not actually normal, go talk to a medical professional. Don’t grit your teeth and suffer through it.

It’s not all hot flashes and bitchiness - there are other symptoms they don’t tell what you about – itching in odd places, like inside your ears and nose. If you already have depression, it can get worse – you can almost feel bipolar, with swings of euphoria and despair. When you find that you no longer get joy from the things that normally give you joy, seriously, talk to your doctor.

(And if your insurance won’t cover Veozah, or you can’t take it because it will counteract your lupus medication’s, and your refrigerator decides to die? May I suggest getting a side-by-side instead of one with French doors? Opening the door to the freezer and wedging myself into it, breathing deep and screaming “Fuck!” into its depths, has saved many lives over the past year, not just mine. )

Hang in there and stay strong, my perimenopausal sisters!
