TW - discussion of weight and weight loss… I’ve lost 40 lbs since I started on the journey of stopping my hormones (something i honestly have been really concerned about and find more of a sign of how chronically ill I am than anything else) and I haven’t stepped on a single scale in months. I’m fine with it, because I know it has nothing to do with my weight. But I feel like I’m recognizing yet another toxic pattern of medical care. Do they only weigh us when they feel our conditions can all be blamed on weight? Also, why am I still suffering if I lost all this weight, DOC? 🤔🙄😤 DONT LET THESE DOCTORS GASLIGHT YOU ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT IF YOURE DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN AND ARE STILL SUFFERING. We. Deserve. Better. #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #womenshealth #womenshealthcare #afabhealth #medicalneglect #womenshealthmatters #medicalgaslighting

Okay, but those first few things will DEF affect your episode and how you feel… but staying around people who have a negative effect on you will make it so none of the other things truly work! Stress is a HUGE trigger for PMDD & all of its underlying factors. 💜 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddwarrior #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #mentalhealthmatters

All jokes, but I’d be lying if I said some PMDD days weren’t like this. It truly makes merely existing feel impossible. The nicest question can feel like cold daggers. But this is something I noticed antihistamines and the right vitamins has helped a LOT with! Along with consistent mindfulness exercises. 🙌🏻✨ #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddwarrior #pmddcommunity #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #

A lot of those genes are the exact mechanisms I’ve talked about as KEY contributors to PMDD symptoms. And they’re clear explanations of why supplements and understanding your body is essential if you have PMDD (and so many other conditions I have, including ADHD!). #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddsymptom #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #adhdinwomen #afabadhd ##greenscreenvideo

As an AuDHDer, my brain is filled with all of the most overwhelming feelings and thoughts. During any change, I shut down, I turn in, I go quiet. I struggle to understand my own brain and what it is trying to process. I feel it happening with this TikTok ban. I’m terrified, and wish I had all the answers of what to do right now. Inside, I just want to run away. That’s my AuDHD. My brain just turns off. 😩 It’s been turned off because it does that when it doesn’t have solid answers. Now that it does, it just wants to hide until everything is over and then rebuild everything from scratch. But I’ve done too much to get this far and help SO MANY. I have so many plans too - books, workbooks I’ve been working on, guides, pamphlets for drs… but like I said, my brain has been turned off while we’ve been in the time of “unknown”. But I’m going to try and push myself to get on top of everything, push my other platform (YT - @chronicallyemilly — I will be posting on it starting this week!) To all my mutuals, followers, friends - please let me know where I can find you! I’m looking into any platforms, except for those owned by that weird zucher guy. 💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #womenshealth #afabhealth #adhdtiktok #audhd #audhder #unmaskingautism #neurodivergent #tiktokban #afabautistic #autisminwomen

If you’re neurodivergent, these are that much more important! 💜Supplements: Many with PMDD have deficiencies in nutrients like Vitamin D, magnesium, and methylated B vitamins. These support brain health, neurotransmitter function (like serotonin production), and reduce inflammation, helping to stabilize mood and energy. 💜 Address Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is linked to heightened PMDD symptoms. Anti-inflammatory diets (rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and whole foods) and supplements (like turmeric or omega-3 fatty acids) can lower systemic inflammation, easing pain and mood swings. 💜 Mental Health Care: PMDD can intensify emotional sensitivity and amplify past trauma. Addressing trauma through therapy and practicing mindfulness can help regulate the nervous system and reduce the stress-hormone response, which worsens symptoms. 💜 Lower Histamines: Histamine, which affects mood and inflammation, can spike with PMDD. A low-histamine diet (avoiding foods like aged cheeses, alcohol, and processed meats) and antihistamines can calm both physical and emotional symptoms, especially in those with MCAS or histamine intolerance. 💜 Structure Life for YOU: PMDD impacts executive functioning, energy, and emotions. Adjusting expectations to your capabilities and creating a structure that respects your PMDD cycle prevents burnout and builds self-compassion. 💜 Routine Self-Care: Hormonal shifts with PMDD demand regular self-care to stabilize mood and physical health. Rest supports your body’s healing, while joyful activities boost dopamine and serotonin, countering PMDD’s depressive effects. #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #autisminwomen #afabautistic

Replying to @user6214761425372 TLDR: I’m 6 months post-op for surgery for PMDD. I’m currently in full blown menopause, and still feeling freaking GREAT. 🙌🏻✨😎💜 I couldn’t be happier that I did this surgery. Everyone told me menopause would be worse, but here I am, in the thick of it, and it’s nothing like the hell I lived before! Nothing was worse than being a prisoner to my own mind, tortured for weeks every month, unable to grasp who I truly am. Since the surgery, I’ve gone through so much and accomplished so much that would’ve affected me for weeks/months. If anything, I’m more held back physically, but that’s nothing compared to my mental health being destroyed, while my husband and children suffer without their true wife/mom. 😔💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddsymptom #pmddtreatment #womenshealth #afabhealth #pmsproblems #menopause

Replying to @SpiritChiII PMDD is a valid, real condition. It costs nothing to learn about it, but ignorance like this costs MANY women/afab their lives. And it isn’t a good look. 👀 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmsproblems #pmddisreal #womenshealth #afabhealth #mentalhealthmatters

I expected my EDS pain/joint pain to worsen… I did not expect to feel every bone in my hand radiate with constant pain, stuck in a claw position, unable to use them at all. Fortunately, this is only when I need my hormones adjusted, which I’ll be starting this week. PMDD episode, here I come. 😅😩💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddsupport #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #menopause #menopausesymptom

Replying to @lifeinmydoghouse Because it has nothing to do with our weight. They just don’t want to actually have to admit they know nothing about women’s health. 😒💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #womenshealth #womenshealthcare #afabhealth #medicalneglect #womenshealthmatters #medicalgaslighting #greenscreen

Replying to @sapphic synapse ❗️YOU KNOW YOUR OWN BODY❗️ If you have PMDD, it isnt ucommon to experience perimenopause symptoms much earlier than the “typical age,” and it is SO MUCH WORSE for us. When I started with these symptoms and realized I would not be believed or properly guided ON TOP OF already fighting for proper treatment/attention for PMDD for decades… this is when it became emergent for me to remove my ovaries. I knew I would not make it. 💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddsymptom #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #perimenopause #menopause #adhdinwomen #afabadhd

Replying to @Sara Flat out refusal to learn about conditions, what we’re going through, perform proper tests, prescribe necessary hormones, or even just LISTEN to us. The female Dr I saw yesterday refused to understand me or my knowledge of my body and what I am experiencing. She said, “I’ve been doing this for 30 years, I know about PMDD”(which she quickly proved she did NOT know much at all about it 😒) and also said “women’s body’s aren’t prioritized and that’s just how women’s health is,” in response to me saying it’s ridiculous my only option for proper hormones is paying out of pocket. Who do these doctors think is responsible for changing things? 🙄🤦🏻♀️ I’m sorry but I understand the whole “insurance” and “business” thing but we’re at a point where the doctors are fully accountable for this crap too. #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #afabhealth #womenshealthcare #medicalgaslighting #hormonehealth

Here’s to the hardest, yet most healing, year of my life. I wasn’t sure I would survive some days. But here I am, getting better every day. ✨ I couldn’t have done it without the amazing support of you all, especially the amazing friends I’ve made here. 🥹 I hope we can continue our journeys together throughout 2025! 💜 Videos are in chronological order, so you can see the ✨healing & growth✨ as it occurs.
