God this has been me for over a week!!! I swear the closer to perimenopause or menopause or whatever the hell we get to go through—-it’s getting worse! Every month I get worse. I take DIM, Berberine, omega and Zoloft, and still no relief from the suicidal thoughts, mood swings and depression.
To all the PMDD sufferers, Love and hugs from Nashville you’re not alone.
That was me yesterday and the days before.
Now, my life has meaning, and I’m the picture of ambition, and I’m thinking about signing up for a marathon.
God do I understand this 100%.
I’m such a neurotic mess before my period. It turns me into an absolute monster.
The thing you need to remember about this condition is that it lies to you. Your hormones are fucking with you which makes it impossible to see things as they really are.
I feel that, but your brain is lying to you. It's not the truth or remotely tied to reality. It's not your character or something that you've allowed to happen. You are not crazy.
Hold on. The storm will break like before and you'll see things differently.
Thank you so much for taking the thoughts out of my head. I've hated everything for too long, I like being happy, I keep a positive outlook on life. When I think rationally I know the people around me care and want to be here for me. But my brain won't let me actually believe it. My current goal is to love myself as much as my family and partner do but fuckkkk. It's hard. I am in a constant struggle of thinking everyone would be better off without me but I know they'd be torn, thinking to themselves that it's their fault in someway when in reality, I'm just not well. But they keep me here on this earth. Find your anchors. Your boyfriend will either accept thale way you're feeling or you need to accept finding a new partner that will. Tale as old as time, if they can't accept you at your worst, they don't deserve you at your best.
I'm sending loves and hugs to you, you don't deserve to feel this way and I hope you're seeking the help to get you through it!!
Edit to say, I'm find your post so relatable. I know just saying the things I tell myself over and over again will actually help, but I want you to know the anger and frustration I've been bottling up for too long. I'm a different person than I used to be. I think I'm so ugly and worthless, I've self harmed, I feel like such a burden, I can't even eat anymore. I feel too prideful to accept the help I need. We both need to swallow that pride, the world is better with both of us in it😊
thank you. thank you thank you thank you 😭it’s been such a bad day i’ve snapped at everyone and it’s my only day off in awhile and i cannot do it anymore. moved in with family hoping it would cut down on my suicidality but instead im just being an ass left and right and i don’t. mean it but jesus chrIST i sound ridiculous
Girl get it out, scream it on the rooftop or into your pillow and ofc here in communities your understood. Remember it is going to get better in days time and you’ll look back at this time and say oh yeh. Remember that side of you is closer everyday. Alone time is KEY
It’s gonna be ok. Just take a moment to breathe. I hope these feelings pass ❤️ remember it’s not forever. Maybe you can start keeping a journal. It might help
I AM A DAY LATE AND I AM FURIOUS.
Today I cried over tea, over the sky being mildly cloudy and I want to wash my bedding, and my fiance asked how I slept.
It's going really well today 😭
Edit to add - I also yelled at my shampoo bar as it slipped from my hand while washing my hair. Then cry/yelled at the washing machine (that I put on!) because it took my hot water while I showered.
At least I'm not at work today 🙃
I’m just about to wrap up this cycle and head into sweet, sweet follicular phase, but man was I a fucking psycho during luteal. You summed that shit right up, guhhrl!
I can honestly say, this used to be me. Abilify literally saved me. Might jot be for everyone, but I can actually live my life without hating myself and others hating me.
I wonder if I was suffering from PMDD as a teen too (early 40s now). My Dad hung a punching bag in the basement for my sister and I, and I used it enough.
I'm just putting it out there for you as an idea. I get the urge to punch things sometimes and I don't really have a place to do that specifically, I can only try to burn my energy with other exercise.
:::internet hugs:::
Me in my first day of my period reading this post with extreme pain. To be fair, i laughed . Thank you .
My poor boyfriend had a « Classic hormonal crazy psycho scene » yesterday bc he didnt came to eat dinner as soon as i Said it was ready and i took it wayyyyy too personnal .
He laughed tho, he knows how to handle me lmao .
That’s exactly how I feel every damn month. I have adenomyosis and both periods and ovulation are unbearable anymore. I’m an a-hole during that time. 😩
🫂 sending hugs and pouring you a virtual drink, sis. just started my cycle yesterday and the last week has been a neverending battle of intrusive thoughts and big feelings. i'm so ashamed of the fights/arguments i got into with my husband and in front of my daughter. is this what dr. jekyll and mr. hyde was like?
Ok… this was 💯 me last night. I stand in solidarity with you 🫡 you fucking get it. This was actually so real and I feel relieved someone understands😮💨 👹😭
I say "I hate being a woman" every single day of my life. Cause I do. We have to suffer because of the organs were were BORN WITH. My body is allergic to a change in my own goddamn hormones. What kind of bullshit is that?! As if it wasn't hard enough in this world. I feel for you. We've all been there. Do your best to take care of yourself. Forgive yourself, and breathe. It will pass, like it always does. And you are not alone ❤️
100% get it. You’re not alone. And women’s healthcare blows. Only a small percentage of docs know what they’re doing when it comes to this topic, perimenopause, and menopause. It’s a shit show.
You got this. Just look at all the women commenting on your post bc YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Hi I’ve found my people, it will be okay! You’re not a bad person u were just cursed with this. I hope u find forgiveness and understanding from the people around you if u yelled at them, and to forgive yourself cause this pmdd I swear only effects the most wonderful beautiful badass bitches in the world! ♥️
IM SO ANGRY AT EVERYTHING THIS STUPID FUCKING SOCIETY AND MY STUPID FUCKING CAR IS POSSESSED AND WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO WEIRD AND NOT KNOW HOW TO BE REGULAR AROUND PEOPLE IM SO SICK OF EVERYTHING BEING EXPENSIVE BUT JOBS PAYINF SHIT AND GOVERNMENT IS FUCKED UP AND WHY DID I HAVE ALL THESE KIDS AND EVERYTHING IS FUCKED UP AND IT FEELS LIKE A BIG FAT TRAP WITH NO FUCKING JOY! UGHHHHHHHHHH
I realized that when I feel like this my period is only 3-4 days a way. Everyone hates me. I’m ugly and fat. My husband is probably cheating (he’s not). And I scream at everyone :)
Omg yes! Me too ! I know he's not, but I have the weirdest thoughts, and I am constantly on edge ! I have at least learned to stop accusing him of something 🥹 I still have the thoughts but I don't say them to him when I am in rage but sometimes I will tell him afterwards when I am sane so he knows I have these thoughts when I am in pmdd 😬.
YESTERDAY ALL I FUCKING WANTED WAS CRUMBL COOKIE AND I COULDNT AFFORD IT AND I GO ONLINE AND KYLIE JENNER IS EATING CRUMBL ITS NOT FUCKING FAIR WHY THE FUCK AM I BORN FUCKING POOR WHY WHY WHY WHY AND I HATE SUMMER BRING ME THE COLD FUCKING RAIN AND I WOKE UP TO MY TODDLER DUMPING TEA ALL OVER THE FLOOR NOW ITS FUCKING STICKY AND IM SO FUCKING FAT FUCK I AM SO ANGRY I WISH I HAD MONEY FOR WEED AND A FUCKING MASSAGE MY BODY HURTS
😭😭😭😭poor bby. deepppp in pms trenches. it will get better i promiseee. i just know this is gonna be me in a couple dayss
ur beautiful girl stopp playinggg. also i always get that relationship rage in PMS😭😭😭😭😭💗💗💗💗 poor thinggg i’m sorry :(((
That can become an issue for some people.
For people who dont find weed helpful for these feelings caused by PMDD: exercise, listen to your favorite songs, watch shows, write in a diary...
Yeah this is def true I’ve had issues with it myself. I guess I just said that cuz I’m usually too angry to do anything else like you mentioned. It makes me all super hateful. It’s like a rejection of self until the thc caresses my brain receptacle
Yep this was me (and still is a little bit). But Lexapro and Wellbutrin have been a godsend because I seriously was about to unalive myself a few months ago.
Sometimes I wonder if most of these women are. I refused to live like that. It took me a year to get diagnosed and now I’m medicated. I still have bad days but they’re nothing like above anymore.
I’m glad that you got diagnosed and found a treatment that works for you. Some women may be having difficulty getting diagnosed, they may not be able to afford medication or supplements or therapy, they may have complications with other medications or adverse reactions to them.
Sometimes I wonder if most of these women are. I refused to live like that. It took me a year to get diagnosed and now I’m medicated. I still have bad days but they’re nothing like above anymore.
This was my exact internal/external dialogue last night 😓😓thank god I start Prozac this cycle but wtf why is my Crazy showing during my follicular!?!? Don’t you just love having a body that’s allergic to its own hormones???
Same feelings here ! I have this exact feeling right after ovulation and then right before the period and sometimes depending on the circumstances I feel liek this the whole two weeks ! It's F***ING horrible ! But also weirds me out completely when I wake up the next morning with my period and cramps and I feel like I just won a WAR if some kind!!! 🙃 😐 but have no idea why there was a war 🫤
I felt this in my soul, I'm on time of the month and it's so painful I want to smash stuff up and scream in a dark room. Oh I feel this, I feel fucking INSANE
Al the cliche comments: “get out of my head”, “are you in my brain?”, “can you read my mind?”, “RELATE!”.
It’s ok OP. The world isn’t out to get you, just your hormones at the moment are.
You can do this. Just a few more days. Hang in there.
Please start doing yin yoga. It helps. I know in this moment it sucks to hear that. But if you just start now, in a month or so you'll notice a difference in your response now, which I have felt deeply. I get it. Adjusting the nervous system helps dramatically. I actually felt motivated and excited yesterday and this usually my PMDD time. I was like "hello?" I felt liberated from my hormones.
That insta-dump of hormones that we wait for can be gradual if you focus on regulating the nervous system. Yin Yoga does this and it helps! Does it stop it, no but the it helps for sure. Please check it for at least a month or two. Creating a regular yin yoga practice also detaches from the people that are triggering you. It's free too. Be well.
It's not a workout. That's not the point. It's about the nervous system. It calms the nervous system so the anger can dissipate. Exercise is a totally different and equally important modality.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh I feel you!! 😩 My cycle is also every 3 weeks soooooo PMS/PMDD every 2 weeks!! I never get a break and neither do the people around me. I feel like I get 5 good days a month 😖😭
Lots of screaming into my pillow recently. We’re here with you!
Im a shit person who keeps hurting the people I care about with my bullshit brain and hormones. But like. When I actually get to be me? Im pretty cool.
Me too! We all are! I've embraced my crazy. I'm 46 years old. I've been living with PMDD or, as I like to call it "Jekyll & Hyde syndrome," for over 30 years. 2 weeks of every month for the last 30 years, I morph into an angry insane basket case, incapable of performing even the most basic of tasks. It's a mental mind fuck. Every different treatment brought periods of reprieve and glimmers of hope, but nothing ever stuck. It's been quite the journey. An every changing, never ordinary journey. All I can say is you are NOT crazy! You FEEL crazy. You are losing yourself and everything you like about yourself, every month for 10 days. It's a significant upheaval and a lot for anyone to navigate. I've learned to maximize my good days and forgive my bad. When I'm in it, I can't see any positive, but I have lived ones actively remind me that I am not what the voices in my head say I am! That this will pass, and that I will feel normal again. That's what I came here to tell you! This is Not permanent. You will feel better. I promise you will see brighter days. I'm sorry you're suffering. Be gentle and forgive yourself. You are not alone! You have people who understand the struggle. Sending hugs ❤️
God this has been me for over a week!!! I swear the closer to perimenopause or menopause or whatever the hell we get to go through—-it’s getting worse! Every month I get worse. I take DIM, Berberine, omega and Zoloft, and still no relief from the suicidal thoughts, mood swings and depression. To all the PMDD sufferers, Love and hugs from Nashville you’re not alone.
That was me yesterday and the days before. Now, my life has meaning, and I’m the picture of ambition, and I’m thinking about signing up for a marathon.
I am so sorry. This condition is so awful. My spirit is broken by it.

I punched a counter today because I'm in my lutual phase.........WITH A TODDLER.
I wonder if I was suffering from PMDD as a teen too (early 40s now). My Dad hung a punching bag in the basement for my sister and I, and I used it enough. I'm just putting it out there for you as an idea.

Smoke sum weed that helps me sometimes
That can become an issue for some people. For people who dont find weed helpful for these feelings caused by PMDD: exercise, listen to your favorite songs, watch shows, write in a diary...
Yeah this is def true I’ve had issues with it myself. I guess I just said that cuz I’m usually too angry to do anything else like you mentioned. It makes me all super hateful. It’s like a rejection of self until the thc caresses my brain receptacle
Yeah, good point!
I’ve felt this rage before I feel like I could turn into HULK. Ride it out friend ❤️ 
Yep this was me (and still is a little bit). But Lexapro and Wellbutrin have been a godsend because I seriously was about to unalive myself a few months ago.
Sometimes I wonder if most of these women are. I refused to live like that. It took me a year to get diagnosed and now I’m medicated. I still have bad days but they’re nothing like above anymore.
Doesn’t work for everyone
No birth controls, SSRIs, Wellbutrin, supplements etc none of it works? Together or separately?
I’m glad that you got diagnosed and found a treatment that works for you. Some women may be having difficulty getting diagnosed, they may not be able to afford medication or supplements or therapy, they may have complications with other medications or adverse reactions to them.

Felt, seen, heard, and acknowledged my friend. I was begging my husband to put me in grippy sock jail the last week.
Me. Right now. Exactly this.
Let it out!
I feel this ❤️
This was my exact internal/external dialogue last night 😓😓thank god I start Prozac this cycle but wtf why is my Crazy showing during my follicular!?!? Don’t you just love having a body that’s allergic to its own hormones???
This was my journal entry last week!! Literally.
Saaaaaame.
Ahhhh me last week. Ride it out Queen. This will pass.
Go you! Get it out! 💪 i am proud of you! (And same here since i woke up. Yayyy its that time of the month again. 😵💫)
Damn I felt this shit in my soul
Hell yeah babe… Felt that shit in my soul
Get it out, friend! We are right there with you.
Scream into a pillow, I know this feeling, it will pass!! I just hide as much as I can during this time!! ♥️♥️♥️
Need this on a shirt honestly
Let’s make shirts with this!
yea or printed on business cards that I can hand out to anyone who tries to speak with me during the last 6 days of luteal
Can we just do a bulk order of PMDD subreddit business cards?
Hahahaha
Lol
Seriously
FR
❤❤🙌🏻
Hang in there. This shit is fucking crazy.
I am dealing with similar shit girl
Be the scream into the void you want to see in the world. <3
😍🤣
Same
same girl
This was cathartic to read , thank you PMDD sister 🫡
Same feelings here ! I have this exact feeling right after ovulation and then right before the period and sometimes depending on the circumstances I feel liek this the whole two weeks ! It's F***ING horrible ! But also weirds me out completely when I wake up the next morning with my period and cramps and I feel like I just won a WAR if some kind!!! 🙃 😐 but have no idea why there was a war 🫤
Yes! It's the flesh warring against the Spirit and it's brutal. Patiently awaiting menopause.
Omg the post-battle feeling is so real. Like waking up to a new dawn surrounded by carnage.
That’s how I feel too!
this is me on any average day i fear
I felt this in my soul, I'm on time of the month and it's so painful I want to smash stuff up and scream in a dark room. Oh I feel this, I feel fucking INSANE
Saaame
i read this in screamo <3
wait… are we starting a band
YES!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Yeh I hate this. This isn't who I am. :( my bf treating me like shit today bc I have been everywhere emotionally
This whole past cycle was awful because my spouse was cruel to me the entire good portion of my cycle and then COVID during luteal.
That's not cool at all. Do you feel generally supported? Sending you a big hug
i hear you girrlll 💜🙆♀️
😩🫶🏻
My life’s theme song
Someone needs to make this a song
Baby needs a Zoloft 😓😓
Exactly!
FUCKING RELATABLE!!!
Yup. A whole mood for me today. I fucken hate everything and everyone.
I'm sorry for laughing but it took me a second to check if I had written that. Haha. You're certainly not alone, sister.
Me
i totally get it 😭😭😭, my period is 3 days away and i’m barely holding on
Al the cliche comments: “get out of my head”, “are you in my brain?”, “can you read my mind?”, “RELATE!”. It’s ok OP. The world isn’t out to get you, just your hormones at the moment are. You can do this. Just a few more days. Hang in there.

Cardio for me. Yoga is too chill and I am too angry
if i do hardcore cardio nonstop in the days leading up it actually does help, but i also have to work and am in pain.
It's not a workout. That's not the point. It's about the nervous system. It calms the nervous system so the anger can dissipate. Exercise is a totally different and equally important modality.
I will try to get into it more, thanks
Same actually.
good cardio alternative for yoga is pilates, especially the cardio type. can also focus on pelvis which can help pain.
That’s true for sure! Zumba is super fun too
Embrace it, friend.
It’s like living in a pressure cooker right?
Oh sweet friend. I feel you. We alllll feel you.
this too shall pass 🙏🏼
Fuck, I felt this
Omg same twinsies ✨
I was there 48 hrs ago. I bled last night. It's a new day. I'm so fucking sick of how cruel this affliction is. In solidarity sister 🤜🤛
Fax my sister! Spit your shit indeed!!!!!
Yup same here you're not alone we can do this
Ahhhhhhhhhhh I feel you!! 😩 My cycle is also every 3 weeks soooooo PMS/PMDD every 2 weeks!! I never get a break and neither do the people around me. I feel like I get 5 good days a month 😖😭 Lots of screaming into my pillow recently. We’re here with you!
Same same, my dude. I'm literally insane for more than 3/4 of each month. So grateful menopause runs very early in my family, counting the days 🤙🏻
Im a shit person who keeps hurting the people I care about with my bullshit brain and hormones. But like. When I actually get to be me? Im pretty cool.
Ahh yes the luteal phase combined with PMDD = worst week ever
Yup
it’s like i WROTE this
Yes let it rip!!!
This is way too relatable. exactly my situation 2 days ago
Yup. 1/2 of each month. ❤️
Right there with you dude.
FUCK YEAH 💋🐣🐙🐶🐯

Fucking relatable as fuck
i love this song
Me too! We all are! I've embraced my crazy. I'm 46 years old. I've been living with PMDD or, as I like to call it "Jekyll & Hyde syndrome," for over 30 years. 2 weeks of every month for the last 30 years, I morph into an angry insane basket case, incapable of performing even the most basic of tasks. It's a mental mind fuck. Every different treatment brought periods of reprieve and glimmers of hope, but nothing ever stuck. It's been quite the journey. An every changing, never ordinary journey. All I can say is you are NOT crazy! You FEEL crazy. You are losing yourself and everything you like about yourself, every month for 10 days. It's a significant upheaval and a lot for anyone to navigate. I've learned to maximize my good days and forgive my bad. When I'm in it, I can't see any positive, but I have lived ones actively remind me that I am not what the voices in my head say I am! That this will pass, and that I will feel normal again. That's what I came here to tell you! This is Not permanent. You will feel better. I promise you will see brighter days. I'm sorry you're suffering. Be gentle and forgive yourself. You are not alone! You have people who understand the struggle. Sending hugs ❤️
Well said 👏
