Whenever I end up telling people about PMDD, most of them never take it seriously. I had a friend who once told me that chocolate and alcohol is going to make me feel better. I hate how people end up minimising and then treating me like I’m making up a random condition. This is why I end up needing so much validation from this sub and professionals because sometimes people don’t act like what I’m going through is a real thing.

How do I explain to them that I go through this much darkness every month and no matter what I do, nothing can make the thoughts and symptoms go away? I wish there was more compassion and willingness to understand PMDD more.

Also Happy PMDD Awareness Month.
