Have You Considered It Might Be PMDD? (+ Advice For Men) SELF care-ISH: A Show About You
-
- Relationships
1 in 3 people who have PMDD will attempt to end their life. But nobody talks about that. Actually nobody talks about anything to do with periods much. Which is weird because the world is actually like the Wu Tang Clan says, ‘cramps rule everything around me’. Periods affect all of us—even if you don’t get them—because we interact with, work with, and love many people who face endocrine issues (which is the fancy word for jacked up hormones).
That’s why I’m doing this episode. Yes, I have PMDD, no it’s not very fun. To put it extremely lightly. But it’s also not fun for my loved ones.
Or at least it wasn’t until I learned how to manage it and communicate about it.
Yes I do a ton of journaling and consume an abnormal amount of coriander and carrots these days. But I wanted to find out if there’s more we can do to help ourselves and our loved ones through when the blues hit.
That’s where Jes from Her Mood Mentor comes in. In this ep she gives concrete tangible tips to keeping your partner from spiraling if you want to hide under the doona with the noise cancelling headphones on all day.
Hope it helps.
