Hello period friends who else has pmdd? I thought I was exaggerating and a huge suicidal baby and also a psychotic monster, but it turns out my brain just hates my hormones. 20 mg of prozac from ovulation to the end of day three of bleeding makes me feel human and helps with the hot flashes, panic attacks, and emotional agony. Also my cycle is loving 25 days long so I have been living with 10 days on the upswing and then 15 days on the rollercoaster plunge since I gave birth ten years ago and kicked it into overdrive.

I do. It loving sucks and it's been behind some of my shittiest decisions. After I got diagnosed with pmdd I was sent on lexapro which loving sucks, so now I'm really trying to get prozac instead.

Pmdd is a very special circle of hell.

:hai: solidarity, friend. Mine coincides with PTSD and I felt like I was running in place in my recovery for the past ten years and getting more and more depressed that I couldn't make any progress. I thought it would be like that forever and that I was a failed human being. Lmao.

Highly recommend anyone itt who gets suicidal to rigorously track your cycle and symptoms and take it to your doctor. A bump of serotonin during the bad weeks has been life-changing.

A Womb with a View, so to speak.

A sample:

'Mama, Sir Edward Hillingsbury-West asked me most forcefully to be his bride today...'
'Good heavens child, he is almost fifty and you are but twenty! He is a highly respected man however, and your position in society would be assured as his wife. Did you accept him?'
'gently caress no! I gave him a fippenny one right in the kisser. He dropped like a sack of potatoes'
'Dear dear, who can we ask to open the parish fete now?'

This happened to me. There were two blood-free days, and then it came back on a morning when I found a GIANT spider in my tub, so I choose to assume that the spider scared the blood out of me.

Somehow I forgot about it once for about 24 hours and it did not have a good odor. Mostly I think they put that disclaimer in on the off chance you get TSS from it, but I don't think there's any documented case of that in cup users. Even on my light and spotting days I'll give it a clean in the morning and evening, it's not a big hassle.

Speaking of cups, I fumbled mine in the (thankfully empty) toilet this morning :sweatdrop: .

The good news is is that I can get a rib and hip tattoo with numbing cream no worries on my period. what a breeze that was.

The bad news is that this period is loving cramp hell. I love my little copper savior but these cramps. I want to rub numbing cream inside my ovaries forever. I can handle the weird discharge feeling but hgng it’s like someone is revving their motorcycle and my Fallopian tubes are the handlebars.

It’s going to be dogshit existence until Wednesday at the earliest

I get that thing where you get a really specific, sharp pain in an ovary on the day I'm ovulating, which is uncomfortable but also it's kind of useful to know so exactly when it's happening. I also get insanely tired in the days just before my period starts, and generally feel much better when it does kick off.

Skratte posted:

hate gettin' those ovulation pains. Every middle of the cycle I'm like OH NO WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME but it's just my ovaries popping out a big one

In biology class the female teacher was describing human ovulation and said you can't feel it. About half the girls in class said "yeah we can" LOL. She'd never heard of it before that.

Anyway, if it's any consolation that pain might go away. I could feel it as a teen but it went away in my 20s or 30s sometime. Then again it could also get worse, because being a woman is an awesome adventure.

Aha no, it's not going anywhere, I'm 42 and the ovulation stabbin is as attention-grabbing as ever for me, In german its called mittelschmertz, which is a good and stern word for it that I love.

My menstrual cup experience was putting it in the first time and then having it suck onto my cervix so I could not remove it. I had to leave my baby with a neighbor to go to the urgent care where they eventually pried it out of me and my next pap was abnormal thanks to the cervical trauma, lol.

Oh good, good, my period has finally decided to open the floodgates after a week of spotting and I'm back to work tomorrow after a week's vacation, good, thanks, yeah, great.

I had to have a serious conversation with my boss the other day because workmen were going to block access to the bathroom for four hours and there are times when I need access to a bathroom once every hour. That was fun.

When i worked at Samsung, they had free pads and tampons in all of the women's restrooms. Even though I don't menstruate I still need to wear pads because of leakage issues so I was always grateful as I am terminally unable to remember to stick some in my purse.
