  1. Why I think the Adult Day Program(PHP) would benefit me? Explained

    I am not going to write as much as I did in the past. I am still working on myself. This was a three day break. What are going to be the benefits of the PHP program at a well-known non-typical hospital setting? That is a hint. I need to go in the Adult Day Program(PHP). Again, which is between a regular therapist and an inpatient psychiatric unit. This is for both PMDD and Bipolar 1. What lead me to it? I have done absolutely everything in my power and being, to get them both under control. […]

  3. Taking a break from social media made me focus more so on my health. Explained

    I needed to step back last year from social media for about a month because, I needed to more focus on my health, including my mental health. I needed to reset my brain. I also had to erase all of the negativity from my social media accounts. The result= I was in a better head space and much more peaceful. Stepping back made me realize their is more to life than keeping up with social media. I am writing for my sanity, for PMDD women and their loved ones, but also to take a break from my […]

  5. Women are still confusing their PMDD to who they are, because of others: Some advice

    This may help you. During getting out survival mode, I was made out to be the bad guy by my old friends. I felt so bad and that I had to carry it for the rest of my life. This was due to hurt words towards me. Or the hurt they felt, projecting unto me. I just really needed friends, because I tried to avoid getting out of survival mode. During survival mode, I had friends, but it was because of how I was feeling inside(which was a horrible feeling during PMDD, and just the thought of having […]

  7. Part 2 from very last blog : How hard is it to Manage PMDD?…

    To continue, I forgot to mention that I also took Zyrtec, twice. I am continuing to mediate to the relaxation music, decrease of stress/anxiety, Lofi, reset of parasympathetic and vagus nervous system, etc., sometimes. I am also still walking and doing other things to take in nature, whenever I can. Other than that, I am giving up. Refer to part 1, please. A lot of what I wrote happened within a 6-11 month period. Although, one of the SSRIs , Birth Control and Progesterone were in the past. I […]

  9. Everything have done thus far to help with my PMDD? This is how hard it is to manage PMDD

    I am breaking it down. Of course, I will never stop trying better ways. All of these things only helped a little bit or temporary. This is what I have done thus far to help myself while going through PMDD. In the past and now, multiple return to senders, prayed the rosary multiple times, blessed my entire home inside and out with holy water, twice, listened to and prayed exorcism prayers five times or more, prayed multiple times in multiple ways and in a strong and powerful way, used Lourdes […]

  11. The frustration of not being able to do anything you need to do during PMDD/PME

    Currently needing a nap after sleeping for 9 hours. The saying...''Everybody gets tired'', is toxic and insensitive to those who have a chronic illness. Even with women who have PMDD/PME. Even though the love of my life doesn't mind that I take my naps or do a whole lot, during PMDD/PME, it's still frustrating to myself and anyone with PMDD/PME. What do you mean, my body won't physically allow me to do certain labored task? Even something so grounding, like gardening or doing the yard work is […]

  13. Breaking it down: Brain attacking us and trying to kill us during PMDD

    In the zoom meeting yesterday, a girly told the group that, it's like our brain is attacking us and trying to kill us. I have never seen it like that before. It's very true though. Here's why. May sound extreme, but it's supposed to be. On a mental level, every time PMDD comes around in the luteal phase(like I am in right now), our brains go from normal to literally abnormal. Until this day, I don't know why some people still downplay PMDD. Every being of our mentality is breaking down by […]

  15. Conducted my own study: Left brain difference and why?

    As I was meditating to EMDR music for my PMDD symptoms, I noticed a strong sensitivity to my right side of my ear and the surrounding area. Which means, the left side of my brain is highly sensitive during PMDD. The right side of the body, controls the left side of the brain. I am hypervigilant. I pay attention to everything, including myself. I studied myself. I had the thought to research about what that means and as to why. PMDD is way too bad to not pay attention to these things. When I […]

  17. How much of a hold does PME or PMDD have on us?

    Whenever PMDD and/or PME become more prominent, the hold is strong. Usually, around the luteal phase. To explain the strength is very intensified. I am writing this when I am not in the luteal phase. It is better to discuss it, when I am not going through it. On a scale of 1-10 for level of intensity of strength of PMDD and/or PME, it would be at an 11 or 12. Impossible, no. It tries to outdo your spirituality and faith. That's it. The force is so strong, it's as if a tsunami, hurricane, […]

  19. Preparing for my future child by healing and getting to a place of managing my PMDD and other things. My thoughts.

    This is a part of me only a few know about. This is just my natural instincts and just me being me. All heart and truth. My ultimate goal is to become a great mother in the future. I am in my pre-conception stage. I choose to be. It may not seem that way, but I am. How am I in the pre-conception stage? First off, I am not pregnant, lol. Well, I am in the process of healing parts of me that truly really need healing. I need to heal these parts so that I do not carry the generational patterns […]

  21. What it is like to have PMDD with PME? Also, my thoughts

    This is my PMDD. PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), and PME (Pre Menstrual Exacerbation), are similar, yet different. PMDD is more than just your mental illnesses. There are more symptoms with PMDD then PME, yet they both are not good at all to have. I have both. There was a time, I thought I did not have PME. What makes PME similar to PMDD is that you can have similar symptoms, but instead of it just being PMDD, its similar symptoms in regard to and pertaining to your mental illness. […]

  23. Why you should never tell someone with PMDD to just calm down or relax? What it feels like?

    Yes, you should never tell anyone women with PMDD to just calm down or relax. It exacerbates it even more. If we could control PMDD, we would not have it. We cannot control what our brains do during the luteal phase, we can only try to manage PMDD. Having Bipolar 1 with it, is even worse. Having PMDD alone in bad enough, though. If we could become calm during PMDD, that would be a miracle and awesome. Becoming calm is a full-time x2 job with PMDD. I wish that was an exaggeration. Regulating […]

  25. Why I chose to stick with my GYN specialist instead of a regular OBGYN for my PMDD?

    Some of us see regular OBGYNs (Obstetrics and Gynecology), GYNS, while others (like myself) see an actual FACOG (research it on google) and/or (with or without FACOG) GYN or OBGYN specialist. It's a preference thing. Which is cool with me. With my experience, I have been to a couple of regular OBGYNs and GYNs in the past, and they cannot effectively help me. I just was confused as to why I had issues post-op (exploratory surgery for my issues). Turns out, I have 0 reproductive diseases. Just […]

  27. Chronic Illness Awareness Month. Spreading awareness that PMDD is a Chronic Illness

    A lot of people, see PMDD classified as a mental illness, in the DSM-5 category. As they should. Some people also do not know PMDD is a chronic illness. It is a chronic illness, too. July is Chronic Illness Awareness Month. It is neurobiological, too. Let's break it down. PMDD is also classified as a chronic illness, because the mental and physical toll it has on us, whenever PMDD comes around. All of a sudden when PMDD comes around, we cannot function right and focus right, without the […]

  29. Mindset change: For my people and myself

    Let's discuss what lead to my mindset change, first. It will lead up to it. This is one I had to let out a sigh about, because it is a little bit hard to talk about. After my diagnosis of PMDD, I changed the way I looked at things. I should have done it before, yet I did not want to change at all. Including, the way I looked at things. I vowed to change my ways and to receive the help that I needed after the diagnosis. I used to be anti- psychiatrist and therapist for various reasons. Now, I […]

  31. PMDD is a different type of strong 💕

    PMDD is a different type of strong, because we have to do the battle we did not choose to be in and for another reason. Every time PMDD comes around, it's different and could be less intense than the last time, or more intense than the last time. PMDD(Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), is a little bit more of the mental aspect than it is the physical aspect(60% mental, 40% physical, or 70% mental, and 30% physical, varies person to person). This battle is like something else. Always a boxing […]

  33. Peace of mind over having some fun with the love of my life during PMDD?? Explained

    When PMDD comes around we must listen to our bodies in regards to whether or not we can go out. Sometimes, we need that push and it's warranted. Other times, the push is too much and we simply have to stay home to take care of our anxiety and because our nerves are in shock from constantly going out and/or having fun. That's exactly what happened to me in regards to the love of my life and I. In his mind, pushing me to do stuff all of the time would be more of a help than to harm me. It's […]

  35. What am I doing health wise to help out my very sensitive nervous system? Advice and other things

    First thing that I am doing is that, even though I am not eating the healthiest, but when I do, I eat mostly organic ingredients or foods for dinner. Sometimes, even breakfast. Occasionally, I am incorporating Turmeric into my eggs and as a latte for health reasons. That's helping for my overall health. I do eat out here and there. Especially during PMDD, because of simply not having the strength nor energy to cook. Even my mind will not allow me. I have been on a strong health kick since I […]

  37. Another “good” month of PMDD. What is it like?

    PMDD is different every time it comes around. Also, different for everyone. That last sentence was important to state. I had a very tough three months these passed months. Both with the mental and physical aspects. This month is different. I feel healthier. I did go to the river, twice already. Which could be playing a factor. Along with the few walks. Yet, I did feel inflamed all over, even in my brain. I also felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, had some anxiety, felt very low, etc. Not as […]

  39. How do we push ourselves to have fun during PMDD?

    During the luteal phase, PMDD is always completely there. It is a good reminder. PMDD can be confusing. What do you mean we can have fun during PMDD? We absolutely can. Even if we have our flare ups. It's called masking. We also do have our ok days and the days our bodies will allow us to push through it. That's not likely the case all of the time. PMDD can become so bad, we cannot do anything physically or from a mental standpoint. It can become very debilitating. Yet, there are times fun is […]

  41. When we try to do everything to help ourselves with our PMDD, but then nothing helps: Explained 🙃

    This should give you a good explanation of how hard it is to manage PMDD. Here is a true example. I went to the river for therapeutic reasons. To listen to the river sounds, take in nature, and enjoy the outdoors. That was a success. I am currently in PMDD and was, when I did this not too long ago. The reason why it was a success, is because my mood changed, I was more relaxed, had more energy, etc. Untill the aftermath happened. After we got home and completely settled, my PMDD started back […]
