PMDD Quote of the Week

~I wasn't always easy to get along with and I used to be less under control, but now I will warn the people in my life that I have PMDD and take responsibility for it but I still get harassed about it, like they think I'm making things up, like when it makes me irritable, or cold, or cry for no reason.  I make sure that they know it's that time and nothing is personal, yet they still act surprised when I show symptoms.  They try to debate me about my emotions, which after years I have come to accept I have less control over, but they don't trust me about my own experiences.~

  1. Hi! I really loved your message. I've been diagnosed with PMDD for years yet I refuse to tell people or accept it myself. Yet I find myself feeling so different from who I am on a normal basis (weeks before my period). I realized I need to go online and find other women that go thru this because it's hard to understand it if you don't have it! Thanks for your words and I look forward to hearing other experiences and sharing together....my biggest love to ALL PMDD women out there!

  2. Hi I am Carla and I have had a life long struggle with PMDD! I have worked so hard to keep myself under control & never winning. People thought I was crazy, no one understood me I was lost. I have lost many of relationships un willingly because of being misunderstood. I am so grateful to know that there is a reason & that I am not the only one with this issue. I was losing faith in life. Thank you for this blog!
