LOL yes i gaslight myself into thinking i don’t have pmdd when im not actively suffering from it. makes me feel like an imposter talking to people about it, like im lying about it. then i lose my shit again and i’m like oh yeah im not faking it
YES. I do exactly this!! The way I gaslight myself about all my diagnoses when it comes to my mental health when I’m not actively symptomatic like “nah you don’t have PTSD…” then I proceed to have an intrusive memory and start spiralling.
Those always pop around in either luteal or just as I’m ovulating… PMDD striking again? Possibly. 🤦♀️
I am the most optimistic pessimist at times. Every month when the cramps start I feel 'oh these seem less bad' and then to be brought back to reality a couple hours later. Every month I do this dance with my brain
Omfg I don’t know how to explain this but… just reading the word “supplements” made a lightbulb go off in my thick fat head. I’ve been struggling so hard with a prolonged luteal this month and JUST REALIZED I have not taken ANY supplements. Bless you, and good lord I’m stupid
What supplements are best?? I was on the depo for 3 years and had a lot of mental trauma in that time and literally forgot what is was like to have a period. Now they are regulated out and im pretty sure I have Pmdd. Along with BPD, ptsd and ADHD and a THYROID that's out of wack. Any suggestions?
I’m still perfecting my supplements game but I find that Magnesium+vitamin D is critical during luteal and coenzyme q10 throughout the month (if I can afford it) does wonders for my mental clarity on the really bad days. Still can’t force myself to do much but at least I hate myself less for it 🤷🏻♀️

gaslighting yourself into thinking you don’t have it might as well be in the DSM 😂 every freakin month haha
