APP vs Desktop Checkin
Last night one of you said in the Q+A that you could not see these resources in the classroom via the APP. Will you check your app and your desktop and let me know if you can access these?

Not yet on the app….
Hi my name is Anne and I’m from a town in Pennsylvania called Saint Mary’s.
I hope to be able to find relief being able to talk about things that only someone with PMDD understands. I can’t wait to see what works for some people and doesn’t work for others. Thank you so much for adding me to your group. I have struggled with PMDD for about 30 years (I’m 44 now) but was not diagnosed until about 8 years ago. It destroyed so many years of my left cause I didn’t understand what was wrong with me. It will be so nice to have others with PMDD to communicate with. Thanks and you all will be in my prayers

@Angeleen Neely-Sardon Hi Angeleen, welcome to this community. It’s a really supportive environment here, and definitely we all very much understand only the things that another woman with PMDD can understand. I am also 44 and got an ‘official’ diagnosis only 2 years ago. I was SO RELIEVED when my primary care doctor actually knew what it was and was able to tell me that I was NOT going crazy. I actually went back to him a few months later solely to thank him for basically saving my life by being able to recognize the symptoms I had described. I felt like to a degree I got my life back because I felt like I was given a modicum of control back. And the journey has started! I’m glad there’s another woman here that is also about to enter the perimenopause stage soon which I’m a little apprehensive about how that’s going to interact with PMDD, but we have @Jes Fleming to shine the light on the darkness. Big hug to you!

Hi everyone, I don’t typically share personal things with anybody, but I joined this community for a reason and if my struggle can help any of you with your struggles, then I guess I better speak up. That’s the only way we can heal through this together, right? My partner recently moved out of our house that we were living in together. He told me that he was having a lot of trouble dealing with my mood swings. I thought I had been doing relatively well with managing them, I was not having any major behavioral issues with rage (which I have in the past had to deal with in other relationships). We have only been together for a little over a year, and I told him early on that I live with a disorder called PMDD. I did my best to explain what it is, but because I am still so new at understanding it myself and how to manage it, PMDD was its usual wrecking ball even though I thought I was being very aware and communicative with my partner. Anyway, I’m feeling a little bit, defeated and hopeless, I’m looking forward to listening to Jes’s relationship recording that she provided for us live last night. In all honesty, I am feel worried/afraid that I am never going to be able to have a normal loving relationship with a patient, understanding and compassionate man, because even though I thought I was doing my best, it apparently wasn’t enough. I feel like I have so much I need to learn with how to manage this horrible disorder with a full-time, live in partner. The isolation factor with PMDD is so hard, I don’t know if any of you have the strong urge to just isolate when you’re in your luteal phase – it feels like a double edge sword - isolation seems to be the only way to manage it safely but then it also creates barriers with loved ones by cutting yourself off from them. Anyway, thank you for listening everybody. I hope you’re all doing OK today and just remember you’re not alone, there are plenty of us out there that completely understand what you’re dealing with. 🫶🏻

@Ellie Pemberton hi!! It’s nice to ‘meet’ you on here….thank you for sharing your personal experience with your relationship with your partner when your in the throws of the PMDD symptoms. I am so glad for you that she is patient and understanding. It still continues to boggle my mind how similar of experiences we all seem to have….it is so validating to be reminded we aren’t ‘crazy’ and that we are NOT alone. What a gift this community is, just getting the feedback and the supportive comments and a safe and understanding place to share is priceless. I do get the ‘guilt’ cycle after being in the fogged and checked out state, the ‘not myself at all state’….. it’s good that we can take responsibility for our irritable attitudes when we come out of it, but we have to be careful too to not let the guilt overwhelm us and then make over compensating actions because of guilt. Now that’s a balance and a challenge! Big hugs to you and keep on growing girl 🫶🏻💙

@Jes Fleming awww Jes, I don’t even to know what to say in response to this perfect, kind, compassionate reply form you. Thank you so much, Jes. This community is such a gift and having you as a guiding voice of reason, knowledge, support, insight and gentle reminders is what makes this community extra special. Thank you again, this message is something I will read many many times over 💕💕
Hello from Maine
Hi, my name is Emily. I live in Maine, and I’m excited to be a part of this community because I am relieved to connect with other women that know/understand the emotional pain of PMDD, I no longer feel alone. I’m looking to get these 3 things from the community: 1. Learn coping mechanisms that others find useful. 2. Learn how others talk to their partners about their struggles and engage their support instead of pushing them away. 3. Make new friends! For fun, I like to do these 3 things: 1. Hike! 2. Paddle Board 3. Cuddle my doggy

Hmmmm, I went under the classroom tab from the home page and didn’t see a link to ‘live trainings’? Am I looking in the correct spot?
