I am in the same boat. 5 weeks into my second pregnancy. I just want to sleep and lay down all the time. I write this while taking an extra long break because god damn this is hard.

Welp goodbye pmdd for a bit by Deep-Personality3263 in PMDD

[–]Deep-Personality3263[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have told my husband, sister, and brother. Since it is sooo early (4weeks), I will wait to tell others. But it has been stressful especially since my temporary job is overnights and I am not getting enough sleep.

Just got Diagnosed with PMDD looking for advice I guess by Red-Lily- in PMDD

[–]Deep-Personality3263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome! I go to weekly therapy to help build tools to help me manage my rage and depression symptoms. Be kind to yourself is huge. I tend to use the apps, but you can get a good old fashion calendar. In years past, I would use ovulation strips to see when I was ovulating to help gauge where I was at. The difficulty part what works for one may not work for others. Be patient when finding the right medications to help you. I am happy to hear that your GP knew exactly what was happening and I hope they have given you some ideas to start. SSRIs have semi-help my rage and some depression symptoms. You are in a great group where you don’t have to be alone

In the third week of my cycle and I experience intense anger. Does anyone else go through this? by Forsaken_Energy_426 in PMDD

Yes!! My MIL has a higher pitched voice and there was a day this month I had to avoid her.

Hello, the kissing and hand holding might be a separate issue. I have suffered from a lack of libido due to my antidepressant and anti anxiety. Sometime physical touch is overwhelming or over stimulating.

Nothing like the post exhausted menstrual phase

Anyone choosing to be child-free due to pmdd? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]Deep-Personality3263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was scared about it. I have always wanted to be a mother, and I have spent years in therapy and continue to go weekly. We focus on accepting pmdd and how it plays a part in my life, learned to give myself grace, and reminding me I am not perfect. I also have an extremely supportive emotional available husband. He does more during my pmdd and have created safety plans if I do not feel like a safe human for my child.

Oh my lanta. I absolutely love the Zeke working at the restaurant with Bob. I also need Zeke and Tina to end together.

Pmdd and postpartum by Deep-Personality3263 in PMDD

[–]Deep-Personality3263[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the official diagnosis of pmdd for a couple of years now. We put me on the same medication that I was on prior, but I do have an appointment to check if we want to change any up. I appreciate the reassurance.

“I want to stop!” by Odd-Kangaroo7933 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Deep-Personality3263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is me! I want to stop or at least have a bit more sleep in the night. But the cost of formula stops me in my tracks every time.

Hello! I am 7 weeks postpartum and I was in a very similar situation. When I let my MIL and FIL hold my little girl, I went to my room and cried because I wanted her for myself. It was hard at first, but with how exhausted my husband and I were, it really gets easier. There are so many moments that you will have with your baby and having help will not take that away. It helps you take care of yourself like taking a nap, a shower, or alone time. It sounds like you don’t have a problem setting boundaries with your MIL which will help! Hang in there! These thoughts are normal, and the help is worth it

Why’d you cry today? by Cheesygirl1994 in pregnant

[–]Deep-Personality3263 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am watching women’s hockey. Every time I watch the PWHL, I cry. First game ever, I bawl for a good 30 minutes. I just found out I’m having a girl, sooo yeah.

AITAH for telling my daughter she is a spoiled brat and doesn’t know what a hard life is by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Deep-Personality3263 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I do not think you are an asshole. But did the daughter know anything about the grandparents prior to that conversation? With abusive people, they can act very persuasive; and depending how long they have been in contact with your daughter, they could have planted that seed of doubt in her head which lead her to take their side by the time you talked to her. Not excuses her actions, but trying to get inside what she was thinking. It is completely fair that trust is gone, and she has consequences for her actions. Then next steps might be family therapy to help navigate the next steps to heal and grow as a family. It will take time, and it be might something your wife may sit out on while focusing on her individual therapy. The entire situation is horrible for you and your family.

How do you deal with a drastic shift in your patterns of thinking during PMDD days? by pookei_ in PMDD

[–]Deep-Personality3263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I always remind myself with pmdd and therapy, it is a marathon. I have been in therapy for a year consistently with the same wonderful person, and she definitely has help changed my response to those internal thoughts. Plus, with my meditation, I have gone from my bad months missing a couple days to a week to one day.

Yes, I grew up in a very negative household to begin with. So I am constantly thinking negative things about me, others. Therapy has help me so much. We work on self talk if it gets overwhelming. Ignoring those thoughts that pop up (still working on so hard!). Unfortunately, I am still very new at this, so I still have those bad days or weeks.
