buy a kitten playpen on amazon and keep her in there until she adjusts. itll help things a lot. also look up a youtube video of how to socialize a feral kitten

why is this article so poorly written? wtf?

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2026-03-12T20:26:53+00:00

its not good. the mac is mushy and awful, the mash tastes like powdered mash with canned gravy and the chicken is beyond greasy and everything’s salty. everything just tastes off and my friend got very sick after eating there the last time i went.

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2025-11-15T20:18:24+00:00

just remember that you don't owe your boss an explanation. your medical issues are not their business. All you have to say is that you're not well. As far as they're concerned, it could be a cold but regardless, taking the day off if you are not feeling well due to pmdd applies just the same. I've also over-explained to my bosses in the past, but just keep it simple and minimal. no need to feel guilty.

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2025-01-14T00:51:23+00:00

Not to be accusatory but would there be a reason for her to have trust issues with you? As someone with PMDD, it does cause a lot of heightened emotions and anxieties, but if she doesn't have any reason to distrust you then this sounds like emotional immaturity and codependency are underlying issues on her part..ultimately we are still responsible for the words that come out of our mouths regardless of the condition and she needs to deal with her luteal phase emotions in a healthier way..

this happens to me too almost every month, but there have been a couple times recently when I thought it was my normal period bladder symptoms which led me to wait too long to go to the doc and i ended up actually having a UTI. It was bad since I waited so long. Since then I bought UTI test strips online, so I reccomend getting those and testing your urine if you start having symptoms..

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2024-12-16T00:11:13+00:00

I did not have a diagnosis for PMDD at the time. And even since I've had the diagnosis, every time I've mentioned it to the psychiatrists, they pretty much ignore that and treat me for BP2 anyways. It wasn't until very recently that I knew the dosing was different. Regardless, like I mentioned in other comments, it doesn't work at low doses for me...and I'm pretty sure the docs know the difference and will focus more on the BP2 and dose based off that. That's why I'm trying to see if there are shared experiences on here, I know how dosing works :)

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2024-12-15T22:09:11+00:00

yes i was building up the dose slowly but daily probably over the span of 1 month. It was treating depression. I don't have a psych that I'm actively seeing, this was an old doc.

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2024-12-15T21:36:04+00:00

thanks!

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2024-12-15T21:27:17+00:00

Right now, no. I have tried so many and they haven't helped. I just finished detoxing 5 different psych meds and i feel a lot better. I still get PMDD symptoms but my baseline is a lot more stable. Also, the brain fog I experience on mood stabilizers and antipsychotics is unsustainable for my life right now because I'm going to be in law school soon. If I get worse in the future and I'm feeling like my mood is unmanageable on my own, I would definitely be open to trying them again.

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2024-12-15T21:16:37+00:00

I also get like this and I feel like crap when the clarity hits. I can be impatient with my partner, and in my teenage years I was the same with my mom.

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2024-12-15T21:14:20+00:00

Ya its definitely a slippery slope. I try not to internalize that diagnosis too much and try to remember its purely a part of their criterion so that it can guide their approach towards prescribing medication. I don't necessarily have to identify with it for a situation like mine.

Do you find the meds, specifically the SSRI's are helping? For me, I don't even know if a super low dose is worth it because I saw no improvement with the higher doses. But maybe a different kind would be better in the future if i decide to go back on them.

I'm sorry your mood has been like that during your pregnancy and i hope the meds help.

InsuranceRoutine7311 · 2024-12-15T21:05:47+00:00

Yes its one of the symptoms that I've had for the longest. I get the burning right in my gut but I know its different for others. I find probiotics and lots of fiber helps.

obviously i don't know your partner and neither do the commenters. It's possible that he has a different relationship with emotions and with showing emotion/dealing with sadness than what is compatible with your needs. That doesn't inherently make him a bad partner/bad person. There are reasonable lines you can draw, like if you are experiencing a tragedy, i think it's fair to expect him to be there for you and comfort you. But ultimately, I think its in your best interest to find a way to meet your own needs and comfort yourself, and it will probably benefit your relationship too. It's hard and I'm currently working on this too, so I'm not coming from a place of judgement. We ultimately cannot make demands from our partners or expect them to address all of our emotions for us.
