#PMDD: A hashtag for premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Sharing stories, seeking validation, and finding community for those experiencing intense mood swings, depression, and anxiety before their periods.
*REPOST* ✨DEEP BREATHS, FRIENDS.✨ But that’s easier said than done when your in the middle of an episode. 🥴 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #adhdinwomen #autisminwomen #afabautistic
PMDD isn’t just a simple hormone imbalance—it’s a complex disorder with multiple mechanisms at play, including neurosteroid sensitivity, inflammation, genetics, and more. Because it’s not caused by just one thing, there’s no one-size-fits-all cure—only management strategies that vary from person to person. That’s why what works for one may not work for another. And if you’re like me, it may take removing the ovaries to calm things down enough to focus on these things. But I also wish I knew what I know now before… in case it would have made a difference. ✨  #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #chronicillness #autisminwomen #afabautistic #adhdinwomen #afabadhd
(Im fully aware of my chronic lack of rhythm 😅💃🏻)  The natural ways we can address our PMDD should be seen as top priority. It’s all about getting to the root cause of the mechanisms driving our PMDD episodes.  💜Here are five of the most effective natural strategies for managing PMDD by targeting its underlying mechanisms: 1. Reduce Inflammation & Support Hormonal Balance 💜 Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods rich in omega-3s (fatty fish, flaxseeds), antioxidants (berries, leafy greens), and anti-inflammatory spices (turmeric, ginger). 💜 Limit Pro-Inflammatory Foods: Reduce processed foods, refined sugars, alcohol, and excessive dairy, which can contribute to inflammation and worsen symptoms. 💜 Balance Blood Sugar: Stable blood sugar helps regulate mood. Eat protein, fiber, and healthy fats with meals to prevent energy crashes and hormonal disruptions. 2. Support Neurotransmitter Health 💜 Increase Magnesium & B Vitamins: Magnesium (found in leafy greens, nuts, and seeds) helps with mood stabilization and nervous system regulation. B6 is especially important for serotonin production. 💜 Optimize Serotonin Levels: Get natural sunlight, exercise regularly, and consume tryptophan-rich foods (turkey, eggs, nuts) to support serotonin production. 💜 Reduce Caffeine & Alcohol: Both can worsen anxiety, disrupt sleep, and contribute to neurotransmitter imbalances. 3. Manage Stress & Regulate the HPA Axis 💜 Daily Stress-Reduction Practices: Meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or journaling can help regulate cortisol levels and reduce PMDD-related anxiety. 💜 Adaptogenic Herbs: Ashwagandha, rhodiola, or holy basil may help support adrenal function and reduce stress. 💜 Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep, as poor sleep can worsen PMDD symptoms by increasing inflammation and stress hormone production. 4. Support Gut Health & Histamine Regulation 💜 Probiotics & Prebiotics: A healthy gut microbiome supports mood regulation and reduces inflammation. Eat fermented foods (kimchi, yogurt) and fiber-rich foods (vegetables, legumes). 💜 Manage Histamine Sensitivity: If histamine intolerance is a trigger, reduce high-histamine foods (aged cheese, processed meats, alcohol) and focus on foods that stabilize mast cells (quercetin, vitamin C). 5. Track Symptoms & Align Lifestyle with Your Cycle 💜 Cycle Tracking: Identify patterns in symptoms to anticipate and prepare for your PMDD window. 💜 Adjust Activities & Nutrition Accordingly: Prioritize rest and self-care during the luteal phase while scheduling more demanding tasks earlier in the cycle. 💜 Experiment & Personalize Your Approach: PMDD is unique for everyone, so fine-tune your strategy based on what works best for your body. These strategies work best when combined with an overall balanced lifestyle, and while they won’t “cure” PMDD, they can significantly reduce symptom severity and improve overall well-being.  #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #pmddtreatment #pmsproblems #medicalgaslighting #womenshealth #afabhealth #greenscreen

Yes, clumsiness and lack of coordination is a common symptom during PMDD episodes. 🤪💜✨ #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #autisminwomen #afabautistic
Replying to @thoughtful.and.chaotic Was my oophorectomy for PMDD worth it? For me, absolutely. ✨ But it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Understanding your body and advocacy for proper HRT is key—because the surgery alone isn’t what makes it work. It just takes away the biggest internal trigger. But now I feel much more in control of my life… in SO MANY ways. 🙌🏻  #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #womenshealth #afabhealth #menopause #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #autisminwomen #afabautistic
Replying to @johnny You seem like a gem. Let me correct you - SHE gave YOU 5 kids… Poor gal. I hope she finds my page so she knows where she can find REAL support and love. 💜 I stand by what I said. 🥰  #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #womenshealth #afabhealth #womenshealthmatters  #toxicrelationships #emotionalabuse #toxicmen
Their rejection was never personal or because I’m weird or ’spooky’—it was just their way of punishing difference. 💜 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #latediagnosedautistic #unmaskingautism #audhd #audhder #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #blacksheep #narcissisticabuserecovery #HealingJourney #mentalhealthjourney #neurodivergent #mentalhealthmatters
Replying to @its_meag_hi This is a great question! PMDD isn’t just about ovaries. Even without them, my body still reacts to hormones, deficiencies, metabolic issues, and trauma. It’s all interconnected, which is why ongoing treatment is still necessary. PMDD is more than a hormone problem—it’s a complex physical response. #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmsproblems #pmddcommunity #chronicillness #womenshealth #afabhealth
My therapist is a national treasure. ✨ #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #unmaskingautism #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #chronicillness #latediagnosedautistic #audhder #childhoodtrauma
Grief is already heavy. Autism makes it even more complicated and feel that much more intense.  #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #autismawareness #latediagnosedautistic #unmaskingautism #audhd #audhder #autisminwomen #afabautistic #grief #griefjourney #autisticadult
I’m still gaslit about this, even with all the knowledge I have… they tell me it’s all impossible. Because that’s literally just easier to doctors than actually looking into what our bodies are doing. #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #medicalgaslighting #womenshealth #afabhealth #pmsproblems
(REPOST) Our ✨bodies✨ cycle. Not just our uterus, and not just our ovaries! But the ovaries are the biggest contributor to hormone fluctuations. If your cycle affects you beyond endometriosis pain, removing the uterus won’t stop that. You’ll still be affected, you just won’t know when it’s happening unless you’re tracking your symptoms closely. #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #pmddtreatment #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #hysterectomy #onthisday
Replying to @johnny Filmed this before you just called me a narcissist… I’m sorry you struggle with patience and couldn’t wait for me to get this sooner… I’m not a narcissist, it just takes me time to answer every little question for every man out there who can’t do anything in their own. Because while you’re busy in my comment section having a tantrum, you could have gone on my page at any point and educated yourself on PMDD, since I’m so0o0o0o overly “focused” on it. 🧐😊 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmddcommunity #womenshealth #afabhealth #womenshealthmatters #pmddpartner #narcissisticrelationship
So much of unmasking, for me, has been about deconstructing the internalized patriarchal expectations and decentering men. But I’m just LOVING exploring this feminine, expressive side of me. 🥰💜✨ #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #unmaskingautism #latediagnosedautistic #audhder #audhd #afabautistic #autisminwomen #adhdinwomen #afabadhd
Replying to @Cas I did take Pepcid! And it did help a lot!  But my PMDD was so severe that even the relief it provided was not enough for a quality life. However, now im able to target the mechanisms at play that Pepcid helped me with. 🙌🏻💜 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #womenshealth #afabhealth #histamineintolerance #histaminesensitivity #mcas
Replying to @Isabel Sorry for the noise! I hope this answers your question! ✨ I know I have certain genetic mutations that allow covid to wreak total havoc on my body. And that’s exactly what it did. I think the combo of that and the birth of my son sent me into a perimenopausal, PMDD, EDS, MCAS, POTS SPIRALLL 😵‍💫 #pmdd #premenstraldysphoricdisorder #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #pmsproblems #womenshealth #afabhealth #womenshealthmatters #adhdinwomen #afabadhd #afabautistic #autisminwomen
