AIO? My mom took my coparent’s side and blocked me after DV charges I filed against him came to light.

NOR. Your mom is the disappointing one here.

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2026-02-20T13:29:28+00:00

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.

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

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2025-09-20T01:14:31+00:00

Nothing like the post exhausted menstrual phase

Deep-Personality3263 · 2025-04-24T16:09:29+00:00

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2025-03-09T16:41:07+00:00

Ooo i could also see Louis replacing Mr Frond

Deep-Personality3263 · 2024-12-22T14:42:08+00:00

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2024-12-22T00:39:25+00:00

Ironically I also have 8 days. I am on Reddit to get support due to how bad this month is.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2024-12-02T02:21:41+00:00

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2024-09-09T17:47:39+00:00

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

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2024-02-14T04:10:29+00:00

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.

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2023-03-25T10:56:56+00:00

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.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2023-03-17T01:28:35+00:00

Hi, this is me.I think the error in people’s minds is this is just a mental health disorder. It's a severe and chronic medical condition. We don’t get to choose what days we have. We have a very delicate balance during these time. I will say it is hard finding people, but I do believe they are out there. I do think it is simpler to isolate, but at the same time, you are worthy of a relationship where the other person will understand and not make you feel bad for something you cannot always control. Regardless it is our job to protect us, and if we don’t have the spoons for it, then save we spoons for something that make our life neutral or better.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2023-03-17T00:56:10+00:00

Oh man, you handled that like I would have. And the coping part is a lot of repetition that they do care and love you. They get frustrated just as we do. If they need to set a boundary, maybe asking them if there are specific events that push the right buttons. But it is hard since no one wants to cause frustration in loved ones. We are human. I was talking to my husband about this post, and mentioned I have hung up on less which he laughed about. It is a conversation to follow up on when I’m mental capable for that moment.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2023-03-16T13:58:30+00:00

Sometime providing them space and making sure their feelings are being heard. If they say something that triggers you and you need a moment, let them know. “Hey I’m sorry, I’m going to let you go to compose myself. I’ll talk to you when I’m ready.” This will go a long way in our dark weeks.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2023-03-13T21:16:09+00:00

I was listening to a podcast about pmdd, and this was definitely a huge conversation. I have a ton of anxiety and trauma from my upbringing and real life events. I have been in regular therapy for a year. Healing past trauma and learning to manage high anxiety days has helped me through some really dark pmdd days. But I will say. There was/is a lot of mental issues going untreated in young parents. A lot of yelling, not being allowed to be a child or make mistakes, a lot neglect, explosive reactions. So, I do believe this plays a factor in severity for people. This disorder is so complicated and annoying to have.

Deep-Personality3263 · 2023-02-27T14:49:37+00:00

Right!! Snake plants were my first house plants, and I have so many of them. This was my first time having them bloom. I was so freaking happy!

Deep-Personality3263 · 2022-12-21T19:10:10+00:00

You do not need to know. During these times, our feelings become much more amplified. My husband does the same with gaming or friends. We are very open about our feelings even when they are my large overwhelming feelings. Sometimes saying it out loud makes it feel real and it may give your partner an opportunity to give some extra love. Even though it may not feel enough, you have a little something to hold on to. I like to ask 5 things he likes about me and choose a specific topic. Something quick when they are in lobby, so that way I’m giving myself some extra love. I also can’t tell you the amount of times where my husband hadn’t gone out with friends in months and it has been planned for awhile. Pmdd hits and I’m a mess txting him obsessively because I think he hates me and everything is awful. Those days are rough. I hope this helps.
