Thank you for helping me not feel alone with this. Every month I start panicking when I feel the PMDD coming on because I’m terrified of my own thoughts and fear the overwhelming dread building. It’s as though I’m not myself and I can’t control what comes over me. I just want to be able to sleep until it’s over. I’m ashamed and hope no one sees me during this time. I don’t want my daughter to remember me as this humiliating person that takes me over one week each month. This suddenly started as I became perimenopausal and I continue to struggle every month to figure out how to make this stop. I don’t feel like anyone understands how crazy and mentally I’ll I feel when I try to explain. I can’t believe how little this is spoke about. So thank you for going n youtube with your story and thank you for saying just wait one more day because you are right, it usually does pass. We just need someone to believe us with a hug and tell us to hold on, it WILL be ok.❤️
❤ i came on youtube in search of wanting to understand this better to help my partner through it. I want be with them for the rest of my life i love them very very deeply. My partner is the first person that i had ever heard of this disorder from. And i am 38yrs old. This should be made a normal investigation at the GP for all people from the moment of their first period to starting perimens.
What a difficult but important speech! Thank you! I'm so sorry you've been through it. It's such a relief to know it isn't me. I've been trying to take control of it, my therapy sessions help all the days except those 4-6 prementrual days. On those days it's like it isn't me, I am extremely fatigued, hypersensitive, depressed, I can't speak. I understand tomorrow is the next day, it always passes, but sometimes it's really unbearable, it's a torture. When I try to explain how I feel, I don't know how to do it, because ithose symptoms don't sound serious or as torturing as they feel. Yet there is hope.
I completely understand how you feel. I’m going through this too and it’s a nightmare every month. I’m sure you feel alone just like me. You’re not alone.❤️
