PMDD (PMS) is ruining my life
My mood swings are just horrendous and I’m unable to be a mother to my child during my pms time of the month. I’m so irritated by everything he does I’m so tired and dizzy I can barely move, my breasts are so painful it’s unbearable. The doctors have been completely useless in dealing with it and have offered no solutions just to carry on antidepressants. I get so behind with everything because I am practically bed ridden. My periods aren’t even very long or heavy since having a baby and aren’t exactly that painful anymore. The pains I get are more of this scratching kind of pain in my womb rather than cramps. I just can’t cope with it anymore, I feel like the worst mother because I’m so awful when I’m due on and I don’t mean to do it I genuinly cannot help it. He is even learning my mood swings and copying how I react when I’m hormonal which is causing behavior issues for him.

Only thing that stopped my pmdd was getting pregnant it was horrendous hope you find a solution x
I heard about a medication that is just for pms /pmdd. May be worth looking into. Because yeah I agree it sucks

As someone who suffers from pmdd i completely empathize. My therapist and I were talking about it today and she thinks all of us autistic women/afab people have pmdd. It’s so disabling! I am only functioning 1 week a month. But I also used to think my kids when they were little were picking up on my hormonal imbalances cuz they saw me but I later learned that I am autistic and so are my kids. A lot of afab people are misdiagnosed with a bunch of things like anxiety and depression when it’s just autism. So I mean that helped me have more grace with myself. I still struggle with it but at least I understand myself better. I didn’t know I was autistic until I was in my 30s. I’m just saying you aren’t alone and what you Are going through is valid!
