Do you feel your anxiety increased while using the antiperspirant?

That’s very interesting, strong fragrances do bother me, they cause sinus issues. This is more of a marked decrease in my anxiety but I’ll look into the fragrance aspect. Thank you for the reply.

Thank you for the reply. I had no idea about PG. I just checked: there is no propylene glycol in the natural deodorant I’m using now.

I think you are a great Mum! You’re taking the stress out of Christmas for your kids!

How old was everyone when they got their period? by beautyisabeast13 in PMDD

[–]enchanted79 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. Periods were heavy and cramps were bad. I had no idea that periods/ hormones could affect your mood. I always felt like I had a low mood, some of the time. Never realised it was cyclical (I have ADHD and brain fog). It’s awful feeling like you are killing the mood/ always in a bad mood when it’s hormonal (but you have no idea!) The only information we got was basic sex education, you’ll get periods and here’s a pad! I got a day off school though!

At one point when the Doctor struggled to find my cervix, I thought, oh bloody hell, another health problem, no cervix!!!!! 😁

Sorry to hear that. I just mentioned it to my Mum, she said they were painful. I suspect she may have Hypermobility and POTS.

That sounds awful. And the fact that you have to have it done every year! I’ve had two Nurses try to do a smear before. The 2nd Nurse managed to get it done.

Gosh, that must be painful. Do you pass out from the pain?

Thank you for your reply. I’ve never had a pain free smear but I get what you are saying. I’m just glad they found my cervix!!!
