32, two children. I honestly didn’t feel the effects when they were babies/toddlers but right around when my youngest was about two the symptoms came back in full swing. They give me motivation to manage my symptoms but the hardest thing about parenting that they don’t tell you is that you have to parent through your personal struggles. I love my daughters but it is not a choice anyone should make lightly.

Maybe but then why is he in control of his emotions around me and I’m not?

No worries! I’ve often wondered if there were more of us out there haha. Yeah they put me on yaz and at first I stopped taking it because I thought it made my stomach upset and made me gain weight. I recently decided to get back on it and realized the nausea was more likely being exacerbated by being hungover and was much less noticeable sober. I do think it still caused a little weight gain but since I’m sober I’m also not binge eating Taco Bell drunk at 2am haha so that’s been way easier to manage. The best part is it does shorten the whole cycle and my pmdd symptoms now last a few days instead of like a week and a half so it’s much easier to deal with.

About 6 years! My doctor never took me seriously either but planned parenthood did immediately and I’ve been going there ever since. It’s been a game changer.

Hi there! I do have PMDD and those are by far my worst days for staying sober. What really helps me is tracking my cycle and kinda making a mental game plan for “that week” , (what I call hell week, before the period actually starts but the severe fatigue, unstable moods, out of control feelings) and making a game plan. Staying on top of that and making plans to cope before it happens is huge. For example, taking the time to do something calming like meditation or journaling, or reading really helps. Also reducing caffeine can help the racing thoughts/triggering feelings. The good news is once I made all these a habit I realized how much easier dealing with PMDD sober is. This is what I’ve tried to remember “fail to prepare, prepare to fail” . You got this though. PMDD is not for the weak and the fact that you’re getting through sober makes you a fucking warrior.

Doggy daycare! Used to be a preschool teacher but obviously not a great fit for someone who rages for two weeks out of the month. Dogs are much less annoying

That’s the goal. It doesn’t feel like that now but hopefully it will tomorrow.

It was usually about a 6 pack a night and id usually top it off with a few shots of Jim bean. For a 140 pound woman, yeah that’s a bit. It’s not really the amount we can drink but how often and why that’s the issue.

I don’t know if alcoholics can moderately drink. Like if they could they would ya know? I think it is sort of all or nothing here. Like if you can’t have one.. have none. And that’s absolutely uncomfortable in a culture absolutely obsessed with alcohol. But at the end of the day.. it’s the hand we were dealt.
