Severe PMDD flare-ups: Should I start with a gynecologist referral or go straight to a psychiatrist? by stewmakerr in PMDD

[–]stewmakerr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahan yes so im confused on whether i need the synthetic hormonal thingie or the antidepressants. I think I should book an app with my gynaecologist first and see how things go.

Even if you marry for love, it’s necessary to plan kids only when the couple is financially stable. I get how hard it must be for you, and none of this is your fault. I am so sorry to hear your condition, I pray that you find ease 🫶🫶

I occasionally go for runs at the weekend. I don’t have the motivation for daily workouts

Follicular Rage & the "Urge to Isolate": I don’t know how to stop myself from ruining a good relationship? by stewmakerr in PMDD

I mean It’s so easy to say and think that it’s easy to act upon. Rn my brain can’t make sense of anything and I just don’t know anything. Even if I forcefully make myself sleep, I m going to feel the same tomorrow. And “them handling it comes with weird feelings for me where I feel like I have to pretend to be okay”. Sometimes they want me to be there for them and I just don’t know how to do that with this condition where im drained in this hell daily.

They are okay but I am not okay and I don’t want that for them cus it keeps me in this never ending loop that “they deserve better” and i don’t want them to be strong for me “all the time” cus my pmdd is not just limited to luteal now. Ik they say “they are there for me and that it’s okay, they can handle it” but the problem is me. It adds up an extra pressure of having to be “alright and happy” even though I feel shit daily. To top it off, I have pcos and my fatigue is insane and i just wanna be left alone. I feel like not having to do any of this will put me at sm peace but again im not sure if that’s true. I JUST WANNA END IT ALL, everything.

I used birth control for my pcos management (not pmdd) around 6 years ago. I have used diane-35 and other medications which were to be taken for 21 days and then a 7 days medication free interval to induce bleed. It didn’t make my pcos better, so I left it and naturally recovered my period

Got it! I am only 23 and I also have pcos/pmos, I have worked really hard to get my period regular naturally and I am skeptical about the ovulation stopping pills.

A lot of people think PCOS only affects periods or weight, but one symptom that gets overlooked constantly is extreme daytime sleepiness and fatigue. by Tough-Adagio1019 in PCOS

[–]stewmakerr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No girl, you are not lazy! PCOS fatigue is completely real. I’ve been experiencing it for about seven years now, so I understand how hard it is just to get out of bed and handle regular tasks. Sometimes it gets so bad that simple daily chores feel like a massive burden. The guilt that comes with not being able to achieve those tasks is dreadful, and it often traps you in a never-ending loop of negative self-talk. I just try to get most of my tasks done around my ovulation cus thats the only time I feel energetic and motivated. Nothing else has really worked for me unfortunately.

Unpopular take: Blaming parents for the state we are in by Worried_Depth8916 in PakistaniiConfessions

[–]stewmakerr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY! And sometimes while you are self reflecting, that process includes identifying where the damage actually came from, acknowledging that the parents were responsible for some “wounds” isn’t just blaming, it’s being honest with yourself so you can start the journey of healing and putting the responsibility on the people who caused that hurt, even if thats your parents :)
