My PMDD journey ( How I overcame overwhelming anxiety and d3pression )

[@cynthiaholland13]

I've been dealing with this for 35 years. Mine is debilitating. If I don't manage it, I can't work, I can't stay married, I can't parent my kids. So I have to do all.things. I eat healthy, whole foods most of the time. I minimize or avoid dairy, gluten and sugar. I exercise 5-6 times a week. I pray, meditate, read my Bible. I take an SSRI AND birth control pill. But those did nothing for me until I made the healthy life changes. I take natural supplements. I drink a lot of water, almost no sodas. I try to go bed on time. If I do ALL that I'm good. But you know I can't always keep it up. And I often start stress eating and then I'm down bad. Like today. Only one day left before my period. Thank God.

[@caitlinlizarraga5696]

Can you share what supplements?

[@Reneecbull]

Wow, I’m so sorry but also so glad you’ve found some ways to manage this long term I have also found that dairy, gluten and sugar are triggers. I’ve been fasting and seeing a huge difference in symptoms Praying you continue to manage this well🙏

[@Fakeassfantasy]

I share this experience with you. I have been seeking naturopathic support, somatic therapy, the list goes on.. I know you know. I still feel like giving up some days but im happy I don't. Healing my past traumas has helped a lot as does EMDR therapy. Spending a lot of time in nature and a lot of time doing practices to regulate myself outside of pmdd has been a game changer, so that way when it hits I have these habits established. Psilocybin has helped a lot as well, it's allowed me to see new parts of myself, recognize harmful patters, and create new thought patterns. Above all else your personal medicine will heal you.. find what keeps you on earth. Much love.

PMDD is hell on earth. This month I couldn't get out of bed, or sleep, or study, or working. I take an SSRI and this month it did nothing! On January I tried to commit su!cide. I'm so done with this. I can't be myself during that time of the month...

[@tobisupersmart]

Hey Clarissa, same here. Somehow I forget every month that this severe suicdal depression happens and I don’t know what to do. My husband is asleep and I would hate to disturb him when I feel this way.. I feel lonely

[@clarissamaria1615]

@@tobisupersmart you have to talk to your health care provider. There are treatments. You can't just stay quiet 🌷

[@dreawelty]

@@tobisupersmarti feel the same about my husband I don’t want to bother him 😢

[@sobeautifuljess]

Keep advocating for yourself! It takes time to find the right regimen.. a different ssri, supplements, birth control, talk therapy, exercise… find the combination that works for you, it’s different for everyone! And it takes time for meds to kick in, 3-4 months. Don’t give up, I know it sucks now but it does get better. Keep on going lady xx 💕

[@moodyblues-79]

I was just diagnosed with by a psychiatrist. She says I need a hysterectomy oophrectomy. Get the ovaries out is the only cure when nothing else works. I am going to see about doing that. I cannot live like this.

[@sierralewis216]

Its a very scary condition and it truly makes you feel insane. I get violent when i do get it and i have destroyed things because of it.

[@Reneecbull]

I have been there and understand, it feels like you’re completely out of control, please try some to limit gluten, diary and sugar Also intermittent fasting has helped me greatly during the 2 weeks leading up to my period. I pray things get better soon

[@tutummara20]

for anyone batttling pmdd. i recently started looking for natural ways to ease my symptoms since i do not want to try birth control. i started taking these tablets made by cyclease for pms and they are a game changer. anytime i feel any emotion anger,sadness or start crying. I pop 2 of those in my mouth and within 30 minutes i am back to feeling normal. hopefully this helps someone else

[@emilyadele7610]

Does this help with anxiety?

[@MyPMDDDiary]

Dear Renee thank you so much for sharing your story PMDD is such a tough topic to talk about this video will help so many women 🌸🌸🌸 lots of love, Tehla xx

[@cynthiaholland13]

When I was diagnosed 25 years ago, there was nothing out there. I've felt alone. I'm thankful there are young women talking about it now

[@Reneecbull]

This means so much, I hope to share more

[@TheMarriedMillennial]

Wow! I have these in my kitchen just sitting. They were an accidentally order when I ordered magnesium and I never sent them back. Here because I'm having a hard time with PMDD. Thanks for this! I will be trying them.

[@dreawelty]

Ohhh so happy for this! My depression / pmdd is getting so bad that I can’t even create content for my social media 😢😢 i feel like i am sabotaging my goals

[@toniafoxferguson86]

36yrs old diagnosed at 16. Not knowing what pmdd was and being a young woman my entire life has been literal hell. Not communicating the diagnosis with a therapist got me every label you can possibly think of being diagnosed with in the mental health field. And treated with medication For these missed diagnosis. I've always explained it as extreme PMS but it's so much more than that. This disorder Could destroy your life or take it Completely.. in my case it it's gotten worse over the years but I am since just last year, taking the pmdd into account. Personally I'm extremely sensitive to Anti-depressants and birth control honestly anything I put into my body.So I'm trying to go as natural as possible with treating this. I won't give my whole life story. But I can relate to this disorder and know exactly how it feels to go through it. My cptsd was always my first concern...time to start syncing my cycle and continuing to workout and eating healthy GOOD foods for my personal needs. Really love myself through this all. I hope you all do the same. Ty for recommending the supplements. Might try those soon

[@nowwhat1434]

Only thing that has worked for me is edibles. I’m normally not a drug user but I was desperate. Anti depressants killed my sex drive in only 2 weeks. That just wasn’t an option. So i take edibles everyday of the PMDD the minute I get off work.

[@CaressaBrown]

I can’t believe I came across this video. I clicked on your profile after seeing an old flight attendant video. I was recently diagnosed with this after having to do my own research as well. The last about 3-4 years of my life has been upside down because no one could identify specifically what the issue was. If you think you have this, try keeping a log of how you feel everyday. For me, I did a keyword search on my text messages including text I sent that named “anxious” “crying” “depressed” “sad” etc. and it came to my attention I sent messages like these at the same time of every month even crazier, on some of the same days, all being around my cycle. My treatment is currently birth control, so far so good for the first month 🎉 I really hope this video reaches the right audience! Thank you for sharing ❤

[@Reneecbull]

So happy you found what works for you!! That is the biggest challenge, thank you for sharing your experience ❤

[@Kaneshaa]

What birth control are you on?

[@CaressaBrown]

[@Kaneshaa]

@@CaressaBrown any side effects for you?

[@enayahunt2993]

I have suffered with all the despression, anxiety, and heavy mood swings since 17, as i had a kid it became much worse. I am so happy you did remove this for so long people did not believe me when id tell them my disorder, my spouse still does not understand. God sent this video to me 1 year ago. I am just now willing to try your friend recommendation. I hope all is well, and much health & wealth to you Queen ❤

[@Bayyside]

God bless you on your journey 🙏🏼 Being able to put a name to my internal issues has also been such a blessing in disguise for me, being able to find remedies after feeling long-term hopelessness was a godsend.

[@ellenstory8244]

Thank you so much for your courage to share your story and experience!! ♥️

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

Well done for talking about it. It sounds horrendous. Tracking our symptoms is one of the best things we can do as women, as our bodies go through so much and we often aren't able to put a name to these symptoms and/or recognise patterns until we start tracking... I'm about to start tracking my endometriosis symtpoms for this very reason.

[@joycoston2635]

You don’t understand how helpful this is, God bless you!

[@Lovelyjay88]

Thank you so much for sharing Are this supplements still working for you ?

[@sydneyjohnson4517]

Thank you so much! I’ve been battling PMDD for a while and it’s hard to explain what I go through. I struggle with opening up about it as some people either can’t understand how it works, or end up thinking it’s similar to PMS. Thank you for making this video and recommending the supplement. I’ve been doing self care (meditation, listening to affirmations, journaling etc) to help take the edge off my symptoms but I would like to combine my self care routine with a supplement. ❤️ will be trying out for sure!

[@iamsandyesprit]

Thank you so much for speaking out on this topic.

[@darlenestahl8848]

The worst part is actually figuring out that one has PMDD, its until youve pieced all them pieces together, it took me almost a year to figure out that i didn't have depression, but indeed PMDD, I've started taking 10 vitamin D3 1000 a day and Calcium D-Glucarate, it has changed my life, i do have off days, but im not hopeless anymore......

[@MyPMDDDiary]

Completely relate on the bipolar comments I thought the same for years as I just felt like 2 completely different people for half of each month…!

[@NiaUnbecoming]

Thank you for this video, Renee! I’ve been struggling with PMDD since 2017 or earlier. It’s slightly better now but still nothing short of hell. I’ve been researching, trying to see what pill I should get on, but it’d be amazing if Ayurvedic supplements like this one can help me instead. Better than putting in sufficiently tested chemicals into my system. This is super hopeful. Thank you! ❤

[@nyasmith-assis5168]

Thank you for sharing your story and what has worked for you.

[@shakeyahyoungblood6324]

Hey girl how are you doing now? What supplements are you using now ? ❤

[@kyliespiritgirl1598]

Thank you! I'm going to try the supplements. I appreciate your honesty about PMDD. ❤

[@kittiescorner222]

For a while I thought I was burnt out. Then it got so much worse and I thought I was expecting early perimenopause at age 40. Then I finally tracked my mood and realized that it was PMDD. I've tried all of the possible over the counter meds and herbs I could find. None of them really did anything. Im on an antidepressant, which helps with the rest of the month but literally does nothing for the PMDD. I'm close to 4 weeks on birth control. So far Im still experiencing PMDD symptoms. They aren't as bad, but hopefully it will go away. I have a three month supply, so we'll see. I will definitely try that supplement you mentioned. I will try any options out there including having a hysterectomy, because it is bad enough that I would choose possibly shortening my life over PMDD, which I so lovingly refer to as "my b@*$h."

[@raynelle7334]

Thank you so much for sharing. I am really struggling with my symptoms for years now and i am 100% sure is pmdd. I’m gonna try the supplements and see if they will help me❤

[@UrsulaEvangeline]

I was diagnosed with PMDD when I was 18 and started birth control. It made me feel like a crazy lady so I stopped. My current symptoms are not as damaging as the ones in my teenage years. But I am battling anxiety and I've become paranoid about 1 week before my period in my 20s. I have tried magnesium and fish oil. I don't have access to the supplement mentioned in the video in my home country. Any supplement recommendation that can help my PMDD? I'd really appreciate it girls. thanks

[@GabHeart-rk6qm]

Please eat real fish! And vegetables that have magnesium
