TW. It’s PMDD awareness month and I had no clue what it was or how serious it is a year ago so I thought i’d share my experience with it. The pictures of my wrists are the damage i did to myself in hospital. I do not recognise the person I was...
What is PMDD?
I was misdiagnosed with borderine personality disorder and bipolar type 2 and I have had this issue since i was a teenager. Since my hospital trip, I have been on the progestin-only contraceptive pill and I have not had a frantic episode since 💙
I would just ask that people become more mindful of what women actually have to go through. Luckily i’ve found a solution and things have improved massively for me but not all hormone-treatments work for everybody. This is a very serious illness, I count myself very lucky!
The symptoms are very similar and women are often misdiagnosed (including myself). Yet everybody knows about Bipolar and nobody knows about PMDD. Just spreading some awareness!
My DM’s are also open to anyone who has any questions or would like to share their experience with it. Sharing my experience with other women that have it made me feel better about the whole thing ☺️❤️
