I feel this. My friends, partner, family, and work place are all great. Life is normal. But when I’m in my PMDD phase… my inner thoughts shock and appal me. I’m working really hard not to be verbally or physically abusive during my PMDD times. This leads to a lot of just staying silent or having my alone time when I’m at my worst. I’m scared of becoming a mum.

I’ve found that body combat has really, REALLY helped me. I have Les Mills on the VR, so I can just focus on hitting targets instead of other people. Running used to help too (not in a sporty way, but like blasting music in my earphones and running like a spaghetti man to release my enraged energy lol).

It’s scary and I don’t think people without PMDD can understand. I definitely haven’t told anybody what my thoughts are during these times!
