There is so much research that could and should be done with PMDD (and many other issues women deal with) but hey, we gotta make sure the men never have to suffer pain or discomfort of any sort.

Anyway I'm interested in hearing from fellow sufferers where you are at with addictions.

I only learned a few years ago addiction runs deep on my father's side and I think there may be some on my mother's side but not commonly known, unsure though.

Anyway I've had to come to terms with me having a very addictive personality, I have addiction issues with food, sugar and after my gastric sleeve surgery I started abusing alcohol.

I take edibles to help with my diagnosed insomnia and when my PMDD symptoms are very bad. But I have to really be on guests to make sure I don't end up addicted and it does scare me.

If you feel comfortable in participating, I would like to see if there could be a pattern of addiction for women with PMDD,, perhaps as a result of self medicating to cope with our symptoms.

Happy to hear any thoughts and opinions

I'm 37, soon 38 and in the past couple of years had issues with products under my eyes. I have purple-ish undereyes that I'm quite self conscious about so I try to always have cover.

Well it became almost impossible, whatever I did the product would separate or the other word I've spent 10min trying to think of)

I tried multiple primers, moisturisers, techniques and sometimes it kind of worked, sometimes not. Spent what is a lot of money for me on Too Faced Born This Way concealer, but even that one gave me the same issues.

The wrinkles situation is what it is, we can't fully avoid makeup settling in fine lines.

I also realised I needed to colour correct because when the concealer worked well, it still didn't give the coverage I wanted, it became almost a bit grey.

So in to Sephora I went and asked for help, and we tried both green and peach colour correctors and peach was the one to go for. (I have blue undertones)

We tried a combination that worked, but then we tried the Tarte product, which for good reason was sold out. It was great, so once it was back in stock I ordered it.

(Side note, it was in stock on Tarte's own website but it was £3 more expensive and £6 shipping fee!!) So I waited for it to be in stock in Sephora and ordered it.

I thought maybe I was bamboozled and when I use it at home it won't work.

Man was I wrong. It's so freakin good!

Is it perfect? No, but it's not reasonable to think my undereyes can transform to that of a 20 year old, but it's by far the best I've found in the past 5 years.

The fact that I can literally just slap it on, without primers or going nuts on moisturisers, and it has the colour correction 'built in' and it goes on so well with a concealer brush and it looks good for hours!

Minor spoiler from Season 2 ep 5

Husband and I are Brits, so this question comes from general ignorance.

In the episode we continue to see the family with the dad who got hypoglycemia because he was rationing his insulin, it's a whole thing about health insurance etc and how they earn too much for one type of cover but too little for another type of cover.

However, an unhoused woman gets a chest x-ray for diagnosing, but I guess it's obvious she won't be able to pay, so how does that work in real life? Is it a type of 'duty of care'?
