It did not go well with my PMDD :( (We have since talked about how I can't be expected to handle those types of surprises, especially the week before my period). Anyway, I am starting to learn to rest more when I need to. It is not easy for me, bc I have 2 year old triplets. But I am learning that daddy or Grandma can step in and help, and that not cooking a meal from scratch every night is ok, and that the housework really can wait until I am feeling better.

Kudos to you for sharing your story and providing such important resources to help other women find their way to a solution. I would love to connect with you.<br /><br />SonyaSonyahttp://www.hormonesoup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625537812809359.post-34153351432054803642012-10-11T12:19:40.654-07:002012-10-11T12:19:40.654-07:00I completely agree with you!

I believe this is a harder concept for someone who has had trauma in their lives and hasn't had the opportunity to deal with that trauma. They may be of the mindset that they "deserve" this as punishment or anything of the like mentality. It takes time and boy, does it take effort. But it is manageable. I'm wishing you all the best, love and strength through this hard time. :)Megzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181019447551310025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625537812809359.post-6364945131126898212012-10-10T19:27:24.579-07:002012-10-10T19:27:24.579-07:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this blog.

Thank God I have great people that support me. That helps a lot! I am in such an emotional roller coaster. And almost every month is different. Sometimes I just get depressed, other times I get angry. Sometimes I feel one way for a minute and completely different the next. I have 2 beautiful girls that are amazing and soooo well behaved. I grew up seeing my mom suffer from this condition and it scarred me. I try so hard to hide it from my daughters because I don't want to do the same to them. That's why I'm always emotionally exhausted. I'm so glad to know I'm not alone on this and there are others like me out there. Thank you for sharing your experiences!

In fact, I find PMDD is so vastly different from one person to another, I suspect it will be discovered that it's just a bunch of symptoms with possibly very different causes - like fever is. I took a similar journey towards awareness as you did, The twist? I never found out I had PMDD until years after it was gone - when my daughter got it. And yes, sometimes it does go away.Zoca Focahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768092876111050526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780625537812809359.post-22423328970616169122012-10-10T03:24:01.342-07:002012-10-10T03:24:01.342-07:00Brilliant!
