It’s so embarrassing when I’m going through a mental breakdown and then my period shows up.

It feels like the Scooby Doo meme where Fred pulls off the monster’s mask and underneath there’s a rich white man but instead it’s untreated PMDD.

Like ah, yes. Once a month Blood Madness takes hold and suddenly I’m hyperventilating in my closet trying to talk myself down from making a rash and irreversible decision as my brain burns itself to the ground in response to hormonal fluctuations.

By the by, if this is at all relatable to you, that’s not normal. That is potentially a thing called Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. It’s listed in the DSM-5 as a depressive disorder. And your life doesn’t have to be like this.

I’m in a nightmare position where the medications that can help with PMDD make my complex immune disorder issues worse.

But there is treatment for PMDD. It might be hard to access at first because it primarily affects people with a period, but keep fighting until someone takes you seriously and helps you.

Please. Do it for me if you can. It’ll make me feel better talking about this to know it helped other people not suffer.

can’t emphasize enough how when you grew up in a toxic environment, being in the room with someone who’s angry or frustrated - even if it has nothing to do with you - is absolutely terrifying cuz you’ve been 1000% conditioned to assume frustration = all hell is going to break lose and be aimed directly at you

Leon just holding you while you’re upset and muttering quietly “I know baby, I know.” And you don’t even have to say anything because he just wants to help you but doesn’t really know how to. So he just hugs you close and is content with being your pillow and chair for as long as you need it.

He’s never been really good with words but he’s good with actions and he’ll gladly keep you close for hours no matter how numb his legs get if it means helping you in some way.

pmdd is having a little guy in your head whose solution to any and all issues is “just kill yourself” and you have to be like. sigh. NO, that’s not an option. and they’ll be like “…unless??” and it’s just that for a week and then they clock out and you wave to each other and say see you next month

My brain is not being kind today.

I dropped my water bottle, and my knee-jerk reaction was, "I should just [redacted] myself." Like, excuse me, miss? Miss Brain? Girlypop? What the fuck? We do not talk to ourselves like that. Have a fucking nap.
