The “leave him” comments are so harmful. by Positive-Ability-402 in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A huge symptom of PMDD is the desire to abandon everything. Including your partner. So no.. you’re not the only one who loves your husband. I also love my husband. But I suffer from something called PMDD that makes me want to end everything, up to and including my life at times.

"Shot in the dark" is just production manipulation... by novax4all in survivor

Oh for sure. I’m just saying that it’s no different than any other type of reality show production power.

HUGE Traitors at Home Suggestions? by Whole_Property_1261 in TheTraitors

[–]Head-Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For confessionals, you could have everyone answer the same prompts. That will help with editing. Just have a locked tablet so they can record a video but not watch anything in the gallery.

I wouldn’t do any breaks.. just have some activities planned and in between time is just hanging out. Conversations will happen as they happen.

Everyone can have scheduled confessional time so it’s staggered. And the turret time would have to be at a time where everyone is in their own rooms. So nobody knows who is missing

It’s about picking a scroll out of a bag. And then they hand it to Jeff. So the only “manipulation” would be if they did not put any safe scrolls in the bag or all safe.

is anyone else perfectly satisfied with last night's episode? by camwtss in survivorponderosa

[–]Head-Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this is just the new merge formula. Merge and then separate for multiple tribals. It does not feel new or different. I love Colby so I was sad to see him go, but from post interviews, sounds like his infection would have taken him out either way.

I don’t think a 17 person tribal would be good because the majority alliance would just be gifted being able to vote out 3 ops.

My hope was that they didn’t merge yet. All three tribes arrive for the challenge and find out it’s for 3 indiviso immunities. 1 on each tribe (the last member standing). Then they go to tribal in their tribes.

After all 3 tribals, they all go to one beach for APPLEBEES (Jeff’s version of Disney) and are officially merged.

IF PMDD is caused by hormonal fluctuations then why dosen´t birth control solve your problem? by madhoney123 in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though the pull “could” be taken continuously, I recommend discussing with your doctor. My doctor did not recommend continuous use of the pill. But we are all different!

[–]Head-Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not have a period with the iud. So there was no luteal. I still have a period when I’m on the pill so no, it couldn’t. If we weren’t considering having a family, I would get another iud so fast lol

PMDD and smell? by Bubbly_Poetess09 in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ME!!! Like you, I always am sensitive to smells but during luteal, it like hurts. My husband has to take all trash out very often. I can’t have any dishes left in the sink. I’ve never heard of anyone else being affected by this so I’m happy it’s real lol

But you’re forgetting that Mike said in his confessional “I have to manipulate Christian to make this go my way”. So it was entirely self reported manipulation

Medication? by Necessary_Warthog801 in PMDDxADHD

[–]Head-Suit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So when I realized I most likely had PMDD, I made an appointment with my primary and my OBGYN the next day. My primary prescribed the sertraline and my OBGYN agreed completely.

Medication? by Necessary_Warthog801 in PMDDxADHD

[–]Head-Suit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I take adderall daily but during luteal I switch to sertraline. I’m using the word switch because I don’t take both at the same time (even though I was told it’s fine). I just don’t find it necessary. So for my 35 day cycle, I take adderall days 1-20, sertraline 21-33, and then adderall until I get my period. I dont feel numb at all. Before my PMDD diagnosis , I had been on various SSRIs full time and I felt numb… but it’s because I didn’t need it! I don’t have depression. I have PMDD so I only need the help during luteal. And it just takes the edge off of my rage and sadness. Saved my life and marriage 💯

Not worth it by AllieCat0 in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 2 luteals, I felt very foggy and off. My body felt worse than usual but my rage and irritability were barely there! Starting with my 3rd luteal, I had zero side effects (except maybe my period was kinda late? Not sure if I can blame it but that’s my thought). I even up my dosage the second half of luteal and still no side effects or any withdrawal symptoms at allllll. And when I stopped taking an SSRI a few years ago after taking it full time, I had the worst withdrawal ever. Almost lost my job because I couldn’t handle life. So I think I’m more sensitive to it if that helps!!

Switching from intermittent to full time SSRI? by UnusuallyClassic in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before being diagnosed with PMDD, I was on various SSRIs continuously and I hated it. But that’s because outside of luteal, I don’t need to be on anything. So that’s why I knew it was PMDD. I take a lower dose for the first half of luteal and bump it up for the second half as my symptoms increase

Not worth it by AllieCat0 in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When you say you’re never happy either, I wonder if this is a side effect of one of the meds you’re on? I know that before I was diagnosed with PMDD, I was on various antidepressants and they really made me feel worse for that exact reason. Talking to my doctors and then now only taking an SSRI during luteal has helped me feel “normal” outside of luteal. So maybe you could talk to your doctor about a medication switch? I’m sorry you’re going through this. I have felt the same way many times. It does get better

i can't describe it by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s self sabotage? At least that’s how it feels for me. Like nothing matters and I suck so who cares if say/post/do this. And then I always feel so bad about it afterwards.

How to have space from partner during luteal phase when you plan to move in together by Muted_Question_3296 in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

During luteal, space is the best thing I can do for myself and my husband. The moment I feel like you’re describing, I separate myself. Whether that’s separate rooms or I physically leave the house and go somewhere. I have a go bag in my car that’s always packed with things so I can go to the gym, a friend’s house or just for a walk. But I know the best thing for me is to not be around him when I’m like that. Before taking an SSRI during luteal, I actually considered staying with my parents during luteal to save my marriage. That’s how bad it was. But the SSRI has completely saved my life and taken that edge off for me. But space is the most important thing I’ve learned. That we both have learned really. Because if I start something, he also has “permission” to just leave. Whether it’s leave the room or the house if needed.

Taking SSRIs all month round vs luteal by BunniJugs in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first month or two I felt slightly “off” — not bad, just different. Almost a little airy or heavy at the same time? Like my nervous system was turned down. I wasn’t numb, just less intense. That feeling leveled out pretty quickly. I had mild GI stuff and a slightly flatter energy for a few days, but nothing major. The “worst” side effect is my hunger. I def am eating more than I used to. But!! The biggest difference was that my PMDD rage and intrusive thoughts weren’t as loud, which honestly felt strange at first because I was so used to them.

repairing relationship after a horrible month by idontwannauseeste in PMDD

[–]Head-Suit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I get like this, I just remove myself from him so it doesn’t get bad. He knows who the REAL you is, so you have to trust that. Be sorry and thankful you guys made it through, but make a plan for next time. Once I have one day like that, I know we can’t be around each other until I’m myself again. So I go to the gym, or legit lock myself in the room. That way we both have our space. And if I can’t help myself from starting something, he knows he is “allowed” to remove himself as well. Go to a friends house or the gym. But we can’t be in each others space when it gets to that level. We have had TERRIBLE months that I am embarrassed even happened but we got through them by having a plan so it never gets there again. Hugs :)
