It’s honestly so awful to explain pmdd to people. I don’t think a lot of people understand how physically, emotionally and mentally costing it is. Like this is considered a disability claim in some states :( and to some people it just “oh you’re pmsing aren’t you?” No, I’m not just pmsing. I’m sitting in tears the night before my period hysterically crying because nothing in my head makes sense. I’m vomiting a week before my period because my body knows my period is coming and the hormones start to take charge. I’m wondering if I’m losing my bipolar mind because the hormones cause so much anxiety. I’m meditating and napping at 5 in the afternoon because I feel emotionally heavy. I’m spending the first day in physical pain on a heating pad while taking promethazine because my stomach can’t even handle a glass of whatever. But you’re right, to you, it does look like I’m just pmsing.
