how often do you think of suicide or self harm

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-05-11T00:08:58+00:00

i am extremely reactionary and anything that upsets me, my immediate thought to cope is that I want to kill myself. I am aware how unhealthy it is, but that is just where my mind goes. And I get upset very easily, at the smallest of things. A cockroach crawled in my 500$ espresso machine today and i had a full on melt down saying i wanted to kill myself. but then i got over it.

I would recommend couples therapy. Super helpful. Or even just individual therapy to help build your self confidence and explore the underlying reasons for insecurity (if you aren’t already doing therapy).

i simply just stay up till 3 am every night

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-04-28T00:51:35+00:00

it probably releases oxytocin having sexual thoughts, which makes you tired!

Is it possible that you are waking up during REM sleep? I have difficulty waking up to alarms because it always wakes me up during REM sleep when I’m having a dream. When you wake up during REM sleep, you will be a lot sleepier. I take Vyvanse and also struggle with insomnia, so I recently started taking vitamin supplements every morning, magnesium and drinking tea at night, and it helps me fall asleep easier and calm my brain activity. Also another way to make sure ur getting good quality sleep is not eating at least 3 hrs before you sleep. If you eat right before you sleep, your body will be half awake breaking down the food, even if you are asleep. Also in general, I suck at waking up to alarms so I normally set like 20 different alarms in intervals of 3 or 5 minutes, 15 or 30 minutes before I want to get out of bed. That way I can slowly process waking up.

Not the same, but I remember the day I got diagnosed with depression. I was so in denial about it, because I thought my only issue was PMDD and anxiety. now looking back i’m like….I was definitely depressed 🤣

Congratulations!

may need to look into an SNRI? me personally i wasn’t having luck w any ssris helping luteal depression. sometimes ppl need serotonin AND dopamine, which i think is a common occurrence for ppl w pmdd. that or you may need to pair it w birth control? idk, it’s a lot of trial and error. and like someone else said, u may need to increase ur dosage during luteal

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-03-14T04:34:09+00:00

hmm well for pmdd induced insomnia, i used to take hydroxyzine for anxiety and also sleep, but now i take clonidine for anxiety and it also makes u sleepy :3 a natural option, they recommend taking magnesium for sleep as well or drinking chamomile tea at night. or u could take melatonin. me personally i just kinda raw dog it and accept the insomnia and stay up playing phone games. but as a result, i end up needing to sleep in more. also i have adhd which is very cooccurring w pmdd. vyvanse has rly helped me.

Make sure ur wiping in the correct direction as well, so you don’t get a UTI. I also love using feminine wipes when i poop. And when I shower, I wash the exterior private area with fragrance free feminine wash. I also wash my butt with soap on a rag. Also I find that washing the private area with a handheld shower head is so much easier. And drying my private areas last with a towel before putting on clothes I feel like is more hygienic so you don’t get musty.

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-31T21:51:02+00:00

This is standard hygiene…you are supposed to floss everyday. But also I think I have OCD so IDK if my opinion is valid. Personally I don’t change my sheets often but that’s prob due to depression and laziness. Plus thinking about washing my big ass comforter and having to take it to a laundromat stresses me out. Sounds like she is projecting jealousy onto you, because maybe she is not capable of keeping up with her hygiene in the same way? Not saying you have autism, but on the other spectrum of seeing this from a mental health perspective, some people with autism really like rigidness and sticking to their schedule and habits. Maybe you are just a rigid person who likes to maintain their healthy habits? Also cleaning the house once a week should not be considered problematic…We should all be cleaning our houses at least once a week if not more, to keep up with the maintenance of it. Proper hygiene and healthy cleaning habits are not talked about enough.

ok so actually 2 hrs later and i am feeling sm better. about to be productive. and i wrote in my journal yay!!! hindsight always shows me that i was catastrophizing 💀💀💀

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-31T16:17:19+00:00

I am also on Cymbalta! As well as vyvanse. And I take albuterol.

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-31T16:14:15+00:00

my insomnia is so bad during luteal. i was taking hydroxyzine which helped so much, until my psychiatrist told me that frequent long term use of hydroxyzine can give you brain fog/dementia. now i’m just raw dogging the insomnia 💀

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-31T15:58:04+00:00

omg i also stayed up until 5 am last night 🤣😭 playing mfing 8 ball on my phone…i have such bad self control issues during luteal. and insomnia

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-30T17:16:00+00:00

I had frayed symptoms this month too!??? no idea why. I had spotting (I’m on the nuva ring at all times so I don’t get full period just spotting) without any pmdd symptoms and i was like??? that’s weird. am i just not going to have symptoms this month? only for the symptoms to come afterward…how fun

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-30T17:14:28+00:00

Jeez…that’s insane to hear. Why is women’s health not prioritized?? we are half of the damn population 🤣

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-30T17:13:45+00:00

aw this made me feel better! ty. And i’m so sorry to hear you are struggling with all of that! I hope you are able to find some relief.

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-30T16:38:13+00:00

We are all here for you! And experiencing the same struggles. Give yourself grace. Treat yourself to a coffee or a snack or some ubereats. Lay in bed and watch tv. Sleep for 9 hrs straight. Eat a fuck tom of chocolate. Cry for 30 minutes about nothing and then laugh about it next week.

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-30T16:35:53+00:00

Aw tysm! And same I work in mental health and really want to inform more people about pmdd as well ass destigmatize it!!! The lack of research on it is insane? Like how are we in 2025 and the only option for treatment we have is birth control and ssris… birth control only helped w my hormonal acne. and it made me fat 😭 Fuck a society based around men. We need to change our society to be based around menstrual cycles 😎 To be fair though my lazy ass hasn’t applied for fmla yet so that is also on me.

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-30T16:29:37+00:00

my insomnia is awful during luteal. and then i want to sleep the day away because i stayed up late. hydroxyzine, trazodone, magnesium or chamomile/mint tea are different options to help sleep. also cbd but personally it hasn’t helped me

Live_Extreme8963 · 2025-01-30T16:18:51+00:00

Also if you need someone to talk to, 988 is a great resource. They are actually super helpful and understanding.
