Thank you for this, and I hope you have a follow-up video. I have been struggling with this for about 6/7 years. A male doctor diagnosed me over the phone (UK) a couple of years ago, but I didn't want to take antidepressants as I have a fear of taking them, just like many other people. He was surprisingly supportive, but I had never heard of PMDD at that point. A few months ago I tried birth control but couldn't stand how it made me feel, so I came off those. I am at a stage now that I need to sort this out through either antidepressants taken in cycles or explore HRT with a private doctor as I am nearly 40 and apparently too young for it to be perimenopause (?!). I don't really think the doctors know how each patient will react to different treatments. I think it is a journey that we have to go on and give ourselves the grace to go on it and hope that the people around you help you on your way. Thank you for sharing this - it has really validated what I have been going through and put a name to it that I can finally talk about with others. Xxx
Thank you for being so open about your experiences, though it can be difficult to open up you have no idea quite how much this helps others. To know I’m not alone in this takes away that “am I crazy?” Component. It is so impressive that you can be so vulnerable and help other women, I am wishing you all of the best and I hope you can overcome this, I hope we all can.
Thank you , my Dr recently diagnosed me with pmdd. After I had brought up pmdd. I'm now confused she's put on my records I have pms. I thought I finally got a dr that understood me. Thank you for sharing this, it's helped so many. Blessings
Have you felt the chain of the mini bum bag? I have the mini b bag, and the chain feels really luxe on that 1. Wondering how they compare as far as the chain goes
The obsessive thoughts and catastrophic scenarios in your head feels like you’re possessed with this evil thing. I relate with you so much during this whole video. Thanks for speaking out.
Beautiful eyebrows. Movie is There’s Something About Mary. You made me lol when you said When Harry Met Sally. Two totally different movies. You are the best.My cheeks hurt.😂
PMDD has literally been the main cause of me not being kind to myself(self harm etc.) it feels really shameful because obviously people havent seen me when I've been in my worst pmdd episodes and it upsets me to think someone might think I would just flippantly decide to SH, because thats not the case
Thank you so much for being so open and vulnerable! You elaborated it so beautifully well! This is 100% what happens in our brain. It’s almost pure torture bc it’s like the truth and fiction is fighting against each other and we just can’t get a hold of the reality to ground us. I fight taking an SSRI on the 2nd half of my cycle bc well, I haven’t accepted that it is what I have to do! I keep thinking no I can be talk myself through this, I can exercise through it, positive affirmations, etc.
Thank you so much for your bravery in sharing your story and experience. You are so beautiful inside and out! And you’re going to help a lot of people with this video.

I know this video is old... I have no idea if anyone will ever see this comment... I have never felt so understood, never identified with so much, never have agreed with every single thing you've said... More people need to speak about this... We are not crazy, we are not attention seeking, this is real to us! Every single thing hit home sooooo hard...
This has been my whole life and not many if any people understand this condition, even now nearly 6 years post menopausal I still struggle and now waiting for my referral to see a hormone specialist, I have researched this for many years, and I believe the best treatment is removing the ovaries, but noone will listen or help, I'm hoping the next set of specialists get it 🙏🙏
I have been struggling with this since I turned 38 a few years ago. It's been a nightmare! I thought I was having a mental breakdown! The Dr thinks it's being caused by peri-menopause and estrogen fluctuating. My endometriosis has gotten much worse along with the PMDD. It's so nice to see other women talking about it and not feeling dismissed! I recently started nexplanon for cramps and Prozac for mood. Both have helped greatly so far!! Good luck to you 💖
This surgery is the worst! It has been 3 weeks and my nose is still super swollen and I still can’t breath through it… Both my eyes swelled up bad and black and blue lol
PMDD sounds horrendous. I'm also trying to watch my lifestyle, supplements I take etc. as I have endometriosis and that also is relentless on the body!
you’re so strong for talking about your feelings and being vulnerable with us. i really do understand everything u said. i’m getting emotional with u because as hard as it its a relief to know that you’re not alone. 💗💗💗
Thank you for sharing your story Sophie! you're such a strong gal. You're not alone. you have all of us here💖 plus, my symptoms put me in a mood where I hate my husband's guts- no matter what he does lol but i just started taking Celexa and it has changed my entire mood!! I feel like a new woman
" its like PMS on steriods" i described this to my boss one time after learning this is what i have and she was like wow damn. Its true. No other way to describe it.
thank you so so much for sharing this, i learned about PMDD literally 24 hours ago and learning of this has changed my life. i've already reached out to specialists for consultations. THANK YOU!!
