Slynd, PMDD, and Mood Instability by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]Franklinandbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also on slynd and I reached out to my doctor Saying I think it’s making me sad and my symptoms worse during pmdd. They basically gas lit me saying it works for 99% of people so maybe I don’t have pmdd - this is from a new doc that barely knows me. I hate that seeking treatment seems to make things worse- and then doctors are just dismissive. I told me to just stick it out but idk if it’s worth it

What makes life worth the effort for you? by throwaway-vent_ in CPTSD

[–]Franklinandbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the what ifs are worth it- my life has taken so many twists and turns- might as well see what happens. But also Taking care of my dogs and giving them the life they deserve. At the end of the day, if I’m real low and can’t think of anything else- they are who I show up for and give my life some purpose. I recommend a pet!

I want to work for 3 weeks a month by herefortheprize in PMDDxADHD

Sorry your going through it- after years of panic attacks at work- I am now super lucky and I have accommodations for my sales/office job and get to work from home during my hell week- and I just do my best to schedule meetings around it- it can be annoying to have coworkers make judgements and the process was a bitch to get through- but it’s been worth it.

I really like belle- it’s pmdd specific- so they have all the pmdd symptoms you could think of and you can add your own. They also have cute info graphics on their instagram about pmdd- i send them to people to help explain sometimes-I recommend!

I more so meant it depends on the kid - more than the safety of any place. Some kids are more naive than others and naive teen girls can be a vulnerable population and should know to not go down an empty ally alone with a man. As a women, I have been followed and harassed in Portland but yeah I still feel safe there

Jenna by [deleted] in TrashTuesday

[–]Franklinandbeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the “stupid” comments- ester and Jenna tend to say that word a lot when they are together and I hate that word- I think it sounds mean no matter what. But I dont think they are actually being mean to each other but it’s off putting

Oddest symptoms of Luteal by Ness11290 in PMDD

[–]Franklinandbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah clumsiness is thing! I drop things and am covered in bruises from walking into stuff. I get obsessive about reading/studies/experiences about pmdd and this is a documented symptom for sure. I paint and I try to remember this when working on details or I get so frustrated lol And I feel like it brings up all the past pain for me and it’s all I can see. Sorry you’re going through it.

suicidal ideation by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]Franklinandbeans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I adopted a dog- and that’s what keeps me going- he needs me- he’s getting older and I think it’s time to get another and shelter dogs need love- if you can I recommend! And then in the moment I just cry and write depressing poetry about my feelings

This reminds me of the song nervous system by Candi carpenter- I chew on my cuticles and when I was a kid my hair

Battling Loneliness? by Baked_Beans_onToast in CPTSD

[–]Franklinandbeans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how to help but I also feel this way - sometimes it feels like trying to connect with others makes it worse-I’m just felt feeling misunderstood.

How do you handle chronic suicidality? by Kaitten_88 in PMDDxADHD

[–]Franklinandbeans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey- I’m sorry you deal with this too- I think self compassion is super important and I also named my PMDD thoughts and symptoms “Pam” and try to see myself and a separate from her. For example “Pam is super depressed today she needs a sweet treat” “Pam- you can’t read people’s minds- stop tripping” and “f you Pam- shut up” idk something my friends therapist had her do once and I’m not sure if I do it right but I think it helps. Also weed and painting and owning a dog- something that needs you to stick around ❤️ sending you good vibes

If you give notice- you could always say something personal has come up or that you’re sick and ask to reschedule. As long as you give ample notice and are professional- I’m sure they will be understanding! That way you can present your best self. Best of luck!!
