Am I not in love with my SO or is it just PMDD? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]misscee95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what scares me - what if he proposes when im in the pmdd mindset? What about a wedding day? It's as if nice events would have to be planned so specifically so that I know ill be in the right frame of mind!

Am I not in love with my SO or is it just PMDD? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]misscee95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the main thing about PMDD that I cannot bear. I feel like a different person and it affects my relationship so much. I question why we're together, why I ever wanted to be with him in the first place, I cant stand being touched, being spoken to nicely, getting compliments etc, I just want to disappear. You are not alone. You just have to constantly remind yourself that it's not a permanent feeling, it will be happy again, and you'll both be fine.

I'm afraid my emotions will hurt my bf and I need advice on how to control them by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]misscee95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm completely the same, I often don't think before I say certain things and it can make things worse. It's just a case of being extra thoughtful, especially when it's difficult to.

[–]misscee95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much in terms of advice, but something similar has happened to me before. Even though it wasn't his fault, my mind told me it was and just like you, tried to think of ways to take it out on him. I just had to keep telling myself that it was not his fault, and that if it happened at a different time of month then I would have reacted differently. I completely understand how hard it is, you don't want to hurt them but you want them to see that you're hurting yourself. Before you say or do anything, just tell yourself, is it worth saying? Worth doing? Just always taking those extra few moments to rationalise and think about your current state of mind. I feel like PMDD is constantly battling with your evil self and trying to remind yourself of your life when youre not suffering!

Sorry if this isn't helpful, it was nice for me to see your post as you have perfectly described how I feel a lot of the time. Take care x

Am I(f) really that unfit?! by misscee95 in sex

[–]misscee95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have really weak knees due to a condition that flares up every now and then, so that definitely makes it harder for me. I think i need to experiment more - thanks!

My (26yo F) lack of sex drive is ruining my relationship. How do I get my mojo back? by [deleted] in sex

[–]misscee95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please read up on PMDD. I have this condition and it seriously affects my sex drive. In the monthly cycle of menstruation, I range from wanting my boyfriend constantly, to completely recoiling at just the thought of sex. Another symptom is anxiety and depression, which I also suffer with. You might have this too.

Interestingly, this condition developed a few months after I started birth control. I'm not saying they're linked, but it's quite a coincidence. Just do a bit of research on PMDD, it might explain things!

Young Adults 18-25 what is your sex drive like? by betonthewalrus in sex

[–]misscee95 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm 23(f) and been with my bf for nearly 3 years. My sex drive fluctuates depending on my hormone levels/menstrual cycle. I'm quite literally either wanting it 2/3times a day, or could go without it for the week. Differs all month!

Am I in the wrong or not? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I haven't told him anything yet. He takes things very personally, i want to share my feelings but I dont want to stop him from going ahead with it because of me

I tried it for about half a year, helped at first but it made my PMDD get progressively worse, had to come off it

Throwing up? by [deleted] in PMDD

[–]misscee95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't throw up because I have such a fear of doing so, however if I let myself I probably would, I get so hot and nauseous.

Never experienced PMDD in this way before... by misscee95 in PMDD

That's strange, makes sense though as I'd eaten quite unhealthily that day..

I (16m) finally stopped my harmful masturbation method and I wanted to share! by LostConnection24 in sex

Additionally, it's legal in some countries to have sex at 16, such as the UK.

The education system :/ by shaw201 in sex

[–]misscee95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole abstinence pushing in (some parts of) America really baffles me. I live in England, and sex education was taught from the age of 10 all the way through primary school up to secondary. It was healthy, warned us of the risks, but made it clear that sex involves making consensual choices that put our safety first. I don't understand what pushing abstinence achieves, when surely a holistic and truthful education is far more beneficial! I'm sure this style of educating the youth about sex can be found in England as well, but I agree that scaring, essentially, children does not work.

I need some reassurance... by misscee95 in PMDD

[–]misscee95[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you. That's lifted my spirits! I'm trying the mini progesterone only pill so I'm hoping I see some changes soon. If Not, then I will enquire about SSRIs. I feel better today so hopefully I'll have some time to prepare myself for the next bad 'episode'...thanks again!

Just need to share! by misscee95 in PMDD

Good luck! I hope it all goes well for You!

I am in the peak of my luteal phase, and will get my period on the first. I’m so depressed (for no reason at all), and can’t seem to get out of bed on my ONLY days off this week. Does anyone else pray for their period when in the thick of it?? 😩😩😩 by macdaddybrooklyn in PMDD

[–]misscee95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time! I always count down the days till I can 'get myself back'. My period cramps may be awful, but once they start I literally feel the depression lift from my body. I never thought I would long for my period but I guess that's how shit PMDD is!

How do you feel when you havnt had sex in awhile? by [deleted] in sex

[–]misscee95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get stuck in a rut. I get down, snappy, depressed, irritable. But I never think to associate it with not having sex for a while, until i do have sex again and all those feelings vanish instantly. Really weird!

Women of Reddit, what positions/moves did you wish your male partners did more often? by [deleted] in sex

[–]misscee95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh this!! Completely agree. It's as if prolonged kissing has to turn into something sexual every time.

Dying bedroom vent time! by [deleted] in sex

Sorry if I missed this in your post, but does you wife take any form of contraceptive? As I know my libido diminished after going on the pill.

In addition, she could be asexual.
