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 #

Replying to @Jdgri14 I’m in burnout, but wanted to something out there! Check out my “PMDD Supplements” tab for more! 💜 These are just a few supplements that support mental health, oxidative stress, histamine intolerance, inflammation, and more - all things that contribute to worsened PMDD! Remember, not one thing is going to “fix” PMDD, but its about noticing every little change. 🙌🏻✨ And if you find something that works for you, then you can start targeting the mechanisms that are contributing to your PMDD! (i.e. if antihistamines help, then a low histamine diet and addressing that side of things could bring even more relief!) 💜💜💜 Always discuss with a doctor before starting supplements, as they can interact with other drugs or cause adverse effects. Always take it one at a time and take it slow, listening to your body. I recommend keeping a journal! 💜 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddsymptom #pmddtreatment #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth

ITS YOUR HOLIDAY TOO.💜✨ If rest and relaxation is what your body NEEDS, then that’s what you do! This goes out to all my PMDD, chronically ill, neurodivergent friends out there! 😘 Happy Holidays! 🎄 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddwarrior #pmddtreatment #womenshealth #afabhealth #pmsproblems #mentalhealthmatters #chronicillness #neurodivergent #audhd #adhdinwomen #afabadhd

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

*Repost* I’ve never met a single doctor who actually WANTED to help me with this condition. Doctors only truly care for conditions that they’re interested in, and when it can’t be “seen”, it’s not that interesting.🙄 We deserve better. 💜 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddproblems #pmddtreatment #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #womenshealthmatters

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 never understood this more than when I removed my ovaries, continued to suffer, and realized I needed to really put focus into self care and my body & mind. 💜✨ #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddwarrior #pmddtreatment #womenshealth #afabhealth #pmsproblems #mentalhealthmatters #chronicillness

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

Repost, and update… This just quadrupled when I started on folate and methylated b vitamins recently!!

Many lab reference ranges and nutritional guidelines are historically based on data collected primarily from men, often excluding the unique physiological needs and hormonal fluctuations of women and AFAB individuals. This oversight can contribute to gaps in understanding their actual health needs, including for vitamins like B and D, or unique hormone imbalances, like estrogen dominance, which is SO common as a factor for PMDD. #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #womenshealth #afabhealth #womenshealthmatters #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #afabautistic

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

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.

Replying to @SpiritChiII Women/AFAB are conditioned to believe their suffering is normal: ‘Periods are supposed to hurt,’ ‘Motherhood is supposed to be hard,’ ‘Hormones make you dramatic.’ This mindset is deadly. PMDD is real, and so is the harm caused by dismissing it. This rhetoric goes right along with patriarchal biases in medicine—teaching women it’s ‘just hormones’ and they should keep suffering. Postpartum depression? ‘Welcome to motherhood. Here’s Zoloft, go make dinner.’ Endometriosis? ‘Pain is normal, take Advil.’ PMDD? ‘Deal with it.’ Women have lost their lives because of this dismissal. Let’s do better and educate ourselves on how our fellow women/afab are suffering, rather than dismiss it based off our own ignorance. 💜 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #pmddstruggles #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth

The best thing I ever did not just for my PMDD, but my overall mental health, was restructuring how I thought life should be lived. Letting go of societal expectations, releasing the need to compare myself to other mothers, explaining my conditions to my children and how everyone’s bodies and energy levels differ. And it meant/means so much for managing my PMDD episodes. 🙌🏻 #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddsupport #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddstruggles #pmddcommunity #pmddmom #pmddhelp #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #mentalhealthmatters

Friends, you know me. I promise I’m not trying to spread BS. Ive ALWAYS talked about the importance if supplementing our body with what it needs. And since starting on the proper b12 & folate, I can NOT believe how I feel. I thought I was well-informed on our health & brains, but this has absolutely ROCKED my world. Am I the top leading member of society? No lol but I’m so freaking OKAY with that, and so much else. Im not an anxious mess. Im not triggered by every aspect of life. My muscle fatigue is better. Im SO MUCH more productive compared to before (when it took half the day do to anything 😳). I’ve spoken about the importance of B vitamins… but im gonna be a little louder about it now that I fully understand! 🙌🏻 #pmdd #premenstrualdysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #adhdtok #afabhealth #womenshealth #neurodivergent #latediagnosedautistic #autisminwomen #afabautistic #mthfr #HealingJourney
