I have a "friend" who shows up once a month. She turns my world upside down, over and over again.
I am a good person, caring and sweet, but when she comes to visit, I could rip off your head.
She takes no prisoners, foul words she does spout, I try to keep the words in, she lets them come out.
People don't understand me, or what this is about, to have this creature inside my head.
I despise who I am, half of the time, I feel sorry for my daughter, family and friends.
There's no way to describe it, for those who don't know, it's a living nightmare, she really needs to go.

About These Links
There is a lot of confusing, outdated, and just plain wrong information out there about PMDD, especially since it was included in the DSM-V in 2013 and companies with PMDD products to market jumped into the fray. I read every link I can find on PMDD and have uncovered several true gems of information. I've placed links to this information all the way down the right side of this page. I update these links regularly, and choose them based on questions asked most often in Facebook groups. So if you want to save yourself a lot of time, frustration, and dead ends, just click on these links for the most reliable info on PMDD I've found to date.

About Me
- Liana at livingwithpmdd.com
- Hi, I’m Liana, and for the past 40+ years I’ve had PMDD, or Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder. The first 25 years I had no idea what was going on, and simply thought I was crazy. For the next 10 years, I knew something was wrong, just not that there was anything I could do about it. Only in the past 9 years have I discovered what PMDD really is and that there are as many ways to manage it as there are women who have it. PMDD is not a one-size-fits-all disorder. Even the experts can’t agree on what it is, what causes it, or how to treat it. But since I started researching this disorder in earnest, I’ve discovered all sorts of information that is readily available--but not all in one place. No one site is a resource for all things PMDD, which would allow each woman to fully research her individual options. So I decided to create a site with that goal in mind. To have one site that would allow women the opportunity to figure out for ourselves what applies in our cases--and what doesn’t. If there's a subject you would like to see on this blog that is not, or if you have specific questions about PMDD, please contact me at info (at) livingwithpmdd (dot) com.
