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.

The nightmares are the worst part.

I can’t explain why.

But sleep should be one of the only safe havens we have from this life.

So when that gets corrupted and you’re exhausted but afraid to sleep and be trapped in a living hell you can’t shake when you wake up?

I’m not gonna lie, it makes you want to die.

I need a break, I need rest. But instead I’m on Instagram at 4am because I’m trying to shake the feeling of being trapped in an Alice in Wonderland hellscape where everything around me serves only to torment me.

It’s completely out of my control, and I wake up in a cold sweat, afraid to close my eyes again.

But I’m in pain, and exhausted.

So I have no choice, I have to try to sleep.

Wish me luck on my next attempt.

🖤

PMDD awareness month is almost over, but there‘s still 11 days left for pre-ordering my PMDD t-shirt on Everpress!

I will donate half of the profit to IAPMD global.

I myself suffer from the premenstrual dysphoric disorder. As of now I had to teach every doctor about this condition because it is still pretty unknown. This has to change because so many people don't know they have this condition. Some get wrong diagnoses like borderline personality disorder or bipolar disorder. But PMDD is a neurobiological sensitivity to natural and normal changes in progesterone and estrogen levels.

The symptoms can include anxiety, depression, irritability, extreme anger, hopelessness and suicidal tendencies.

In a recent study with 599 individuals that have been diagnosed with PMDD, »34% have attempted suicide during a PMDD episode. On average, patients waited 12 years and saw around six providers before receiving an accurate diagnosis of PMDD.

The data also showed high rates of lifetime active suicidal ideation (72%), planning (49%), intent (42%) and preparing (40%) for an attempt, and non-suicidal self-injury (51%) among patients with PMDD diagnoses.« (source: https://neurosciencenews.com/pmdd-suicide-20820/)

In my case, I only have two out of four weeks in which I can function. The other two weeks are always a struggle. And sometimes in the good half of the month I have to recover from the hell weeks, because these experiences alone can be traumatizing.

PMDD impacts every aspect of my life. Relationships, work, taking care of basic needs, interests and hobbies, anything. Everything seems meaningless, everything is called into question. Every month.

Part of why this disorder has not gotten a lot of attention is sexism. The patriarchy leads to medical issues that mostly impact women being ignored. This means that there is a lack of clinical studies and there is no cure for PMDD. There are a lot of ways to try and treat the symptoms, but every affected person has to do their own research. We all have to go through a lot of trial and error which is extremely frustrating.

This needs to change. I hope that with this project, I can contribute to spreading awareness.

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.

I don’t know when

but at some point I stopped grieving the people that hurt me the most that I had to let go

and started grieving for the versions of me I couldn’t become because they took away parts of me that make me impossible to complete

so I’ve been left trying to replace these pieces remaking them from scratch

more sturdy and permanent
