Ugh, cravings. Am I right? I have never been shy around sweet and salty snacks, especially growing up in my grandmas house. BUT my pmdd makes ignoring or replacing those cravings so hard. I have had some issues the last couple of years with overindulging myself on sweet and salty snacks, but I am finally at a place where it’s getting to be unhealthy. I want to turn this car around, quick! Any advice or similar stories?

Hi community! I went off birth control a couple of years ago when my partner and I started to get serious, because I felt comfortable enough with her to try living with PMDD naturally. She’s an incredibly patient and loving person and I am so grateful for her, but we still have our ups and downs because of my mood swings. Two months ago, I started to taper off of my anti-anxiety medication because I found out through a gene swab that I have serious interactions with it and many other depression/anxiety meds. After this taper, I started having mood swings more severe than ever, blaming my partner for every little thing that annoys me, and having really dark, negative self thoughts. Not to mention, my depression got really bad (I still take depression meds). Talking with my therapist, I decided I would start moving my body intentionally to help with my emotional sensitivity and stress relief, but to also keep some weight off (I also have an eating disorder due to the pmdd). This was starting to help a little bit, but my emotional sensitivity and irritability just kept getting worse, so I went to my gyno and asked to be put back on BC. She put me on the same BC, Jolessa or Sitlakin, that I was previously on because it’s a 3 month pack and seemed to help at the time. 2 weeks in, though, and I feel like I’m bloating in my stomach and face, overeating again, having negative thoughts and wanting to isolate. So I guess the point of this post is: Does anyone have a similar experience they’d like to share, or any advice that might be helpful? I would love to handle my PMDD without medication, but when I’m there- it feels like the world is ending and the only thing that will help is medication. Thank you, friends! P.S. It feels so good to have a safe space to post freely about this disorder!

I've been seeing my psych for the last 6 weeks and she has mentioned that I fit some of the criteria for BPD. I feel that a lot of my symptoms occur or worsen just after ovulation and have always resonated with PMDD. I'd just love to know if anyone else is managing these two disorders concurrently, and what insights you have in order to distinguish them. I understand the stigma surrounding BPD, and realise it's a deeply personal thing to share. I just feel as women there is so much confusion about what we experience, and so much potential overlap with various symptoms, it's hard to even get a clear picture of what's going on. Would love to open up a dialogue about it.

Hi Jes, I’m having trouble finding the PMDD & Relationship recording…I looked under the Clasroom Tab and all that I can see is the Start Here link which brings me to the other links for Resources/Inspiring Stories/etc but no Live Training link? Thanks for your help! 😊

I missed whether HSA/FSA can be used for the current sale on the 4 in 1 PMDD Rehab program, is that payment method accepted? thank you :)
