This from the Gia Allemand Foundation:
Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay and this year's
#WorldMentalHealthDay focuses on mental health in the workplace. Coping with
PMDD in any aspect of your life is a
challenge. Dealing with PMDD at work can be especially difficult.
Maintaining a business demeanor when you are experiencing
violent mood swings, fatigue, anxiety, and often physical pain related to PMDD
can seem an impossible thing to do. You may find that you need to be absent
from work while your PMDD symptoms are at their most severe. You may wonder if
you can do that without losing your job. Thankfully, in the United States,
there are some measures you can take to ensure that you can take the time off
work that you need in order to cope with your PMDD symptoms without losing your
job.
For more information, and for access to valuable tools that may be helpful to you in your journey no matter were you live, please visit this Gia Allemand Foundation page.
Liana adds: Remember, PMDD is an explanation, not an excuse, and is something that happens to you that you don't have any control over it happening. The only thing you can control is how you respond to your PMDD. Just know you are not crazy, and that you are never alone. Even though, I know, it totally feels like you are. But you are not. Help is available.
