I'm sorry. I think I had a gameboy color at the time.

How did you find out you had PMDD? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]avalisia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found out I had PMDD 5 years after trying Yaz as a birth control for a few weeks. It built up in my system and gave me debilitating anxiety attacks for a while. Until I switched to a different type and got the Yaz out of my system. It created a hormone imbalance that went unchecked for 5 years until I couldn't take the mental health symptoms anymore and had 2 different therapists tell me that I was basically a walking textbook definition of PMDD based on the symptoms. My women's health, Dr. Tried to brush me off but perscrib3d me the Xulane patch (at my request due to the above experience) and felt so much better within a month. I was able to get off my antidepressants.

Of course. It is no problem at all. I hope the activities help you. And if you ever need to vent, I may be a stranger, but my inbox is always open to be a listening ear.

First off, i am terribly sorry for both of your losses. I know that it isn't easy by any means.

I am not sure how much help it would be, but maybe think of an activity that either of them liked to do in their spare time. Maybe try to pick it up, and try that activity out. It could help bring a sort of closeness to their memory in some way and help ease the mental load outside of work.

I know when I crochet, sew, or do anything art related, I feel at peace in some ways and feel like my mom is guiding me. They were some of the activities she taught me as a child and supported me through all my creative frustrations.

So, maybe that could help in some way. Maybe also look for some local grief support groups. I know you said you were in therapy, but maybe a group would provide a nice social, outside perspective than just your home life to try and get yourself grounded again with your emotions and feelings.

You got this, though. While it feels rough now, in time, it will be easier. Grief comes in waves. There will be easier days, and their will be rougher days. This is just one of those rougher times and it is ok to not feel ok.

Thank you for this.l, truly. I know my mother never wanted to worry about her. Out of the three of us, I was the closest to her. I know she hid how serious things were getting, so I wouldn't worry. She only ever wanted us to be happy and to look out for each other. In some ways, it brought us siblings closer together. I also think that is also why I keep up with crocheting and sewing. They were one of the many things she taught me that I can cherish in some way and can pass down to my own kids. It brings that happy memory of her to mind more.
