I learned about PMDD and now everything makes so much sense (1 Viewer)

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a much more severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It may affect women of childbearing age. It’s a severe and chronic medical condition that needs attention and treatment. Lifestyle changes and sometimes medicines can help manage symptoms.

Symptoms of PMDD appear during the week before menstruation and end within a few days after your period starts. These symptoms disrupt daily living tasks. Symptoms of PMDD are so severe that women have trouble functioning at home, at work, and in relationships during this time. This is markedly different than other times during the month.

Symptoms:

Learning that it's not normal to feel like dying every single month is eye-opening, and maybe sharing it can help others too ​

I would check with your gyno to be sure, too, but OMG that sounds awful! I hope you get the treatment you need asap!

oh that's great to know! didn't know about this before...

tbh i just hate how little attention is given to the health of people who aren't straight white cis dudes... i'm sure there's so many menstruators around the world who're told to just "shut up and deal with it, it's normal" when experiencing these symptoms...
