hey to any AFAB people who don’t have bad physical symptoms during their period but still feel like death, get checked for PMDD.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. It’s much more common in AFAB people with ADHD. Same thing with post partum depression. the brain doesn’t give out happy chemicals well normally, so when the PMS hits, it gets worse
If you deal with fatigue, depressive episodes, bouts of sensitivity, anger, moodiness or the like, a loss in interests and/or a loss in energy during your period and/or in the week before and/or after the period, talk to your doctor. 
you aren’t alone.  it will be ok. people like you, and i promise. it is ok to feel like this. 
You will be ok.

Ughhhwhhh what they don’t tell you about Pmdd is how much if literally fist fights your other disorders. Like I have such bad artblock suddenly and just straight up depression right now, but also at the same time. My Audhd makes me want to do 10 different other things, and since I don’t have the energy to do it it makes me wanna have a meltdown. I’m like actually rolling around my bed in pure frustration rn 💀
Fuck Pmdd bruh and fuck that post P depression.

underrated blessings while on your period
it’s like yeah, being on your period sucks. and for me, the 1-2 weeks beforehand can be even worse. but it’s like, I still have the blessing of being able to curl up in a blanket on my bed with some tea when I have cramps. I always have access to pads whenever I need them. and it’s like yeah, bc it’s a basic female necessity. it is an essential. but the thing is, I know that there are parts of the world where girls don’t even have access to pads when they have their period. something that is as necessary as food and water. imagine how bad it must feel. you’re already struggling with pms, cramps, feeling sick. you aren’t able to go to your cabinet under your bathroom sink and grab a pad. bc unfortunately, in some parts of the world, having access to pads when you have your period is a luxury.
So that is why I say, having access to pads whenever I need them, is, in fact, an underrated blessing.
I get my period. I’m able to go take a warm shower with whatever bath and body works shower gel I feel like using. I get to wear my comfiest loosest pjs. fuzzy socks if I want. I have the blessing of making hot tea in my kitchen and bringing it up to my room to sit in bed and sip on it, wrapped up in a cozy blanket. I can take Tylenol or advil if I need to. if I feel like crying, I can. these, are underrated blessings.

I feel like it should be required that a person's medical records are automatically sent to them just by default, full transparency. Imo tbh.
Looking over the records I requested from my last psychiatrist, I wasn't aware of some of this, and I didn't know if half of it had been put down officially or if we had just theoretically discussed it.

every single person who has PMDD should get a free hysterectomy, one bajillion million dollars, and a lifetime supply of tasty little drinks

Ok i just figured out what a PMDD is and it explains a lot about how these past few months have been not so subtlety kicking me in the gut?
now im looking through the PMDD tag and suddenly my urge to scream and cry and destroy everything and then break out of my mortal flesh and be a scraggly little skeleton skittering across the ceiling with no uterus in sight makes a LOT more sense.
So like there’s other people who feel this way too??? People who also want to destroy the entire world and then crack it like an egg to make an omelette and then eat it in one sitting and then lose your appetite altogether for the next few days until finally your body decides to perform its unholy blood ritual?
This only started up for me VERY recently but damn. You people with PMDD are very strong to have held yourselves back from turning the world into an omelette. Hats off to all of you 🎉 hopefully i can be as strong as you all someday

Idk what artist needs to hear this,
but hey. It’s okay if your period makes it hard to draw.
It’s okay if your period makes it difficult for you to focus.
It’s okay if you don’t feel unmotivated
It’s okay if you need to take your time.
Your WIP and your drafts will be there until you feel better.

Does anyone else with PMDD struggle with self invalidation?
Last week and a few days before that I was really struggling hard with a depression symptoms, lack of motivation, fatigue, sadness, passive suicidal ideation, the whole nine yards. I'm four days into my period and it has been a complete 180. I was actually enjoying parts of my job today, that's how big the turn around has been.
My problem now is that. It feels like everything I was struggling with last week wasn't real or didn't count. Even though I know it very much did, I'm struggling to not invalidate myself that way.
I kinda feel like I don't know how to not invalidate myself because "Oh, it was just my period, I'm fine." but it's not "just" my period. It's a lot more than that and even then it doesn't mean it some how doesn't count or wasn't really or whatever. It was a very real depressive episode, but I don't know how to not feel guilty for calling it that because it is causes by my period.
Anyone with PMDD have any tips?

Living with PMDD is feeling impending doom for literally no reason 1 week pre-cycle or during ur period and it’s literally the worst. You just randomly get the pressing urge to off yourself but you know that’s not what you really want but there’s still this lump in your chest that slowly and painfully sinks into the pit of your stomach and feels like you can’t breathe and you’re in so much pain and then after your cycle everything’s back to normal???? Its so exhausting can’t wait for it to be over. I need someone to hold me in their arm all day :(
it’s like I get 2 good / normal / productive and sexy weeks a month??? And the rest of it I’m depressed and anxious and feel mostly unattractive. This is not fair

That PMDD feeling when you are finally feeling good enough after your period comes, so you scramble to put your whole life back together before it inevitably is destroyed by your own hands in only a few days time.
