It's A Lot with Abbie Chatfield · EMMA HARDY: PMDD and the Myths of Monstrous Women · 1 Jun 2026 podcast

Hey, Emma.

Hello.

Thank you so much for having me.

Oh, it's a...

It is a big thing.

Yeah.

I mean, how do I feel being the representative of PMDD?

I think I wrote this in such like an isolated space, like just like me with my thoughts grappling through it.

But to have published this book and see it resonate with other people has made me feel really not alone as well.

So that's been really beautiful.

crazy crazy yes and i do i think i was crazy um like in the the quite literal sense um pmdd is such an extreme i mean to explain pmdd is like i often describe it as a severe form of pms i like pms extreme um it is

extreme irritability, anger, even suicidal ideation in the week or two, even up to two weeks before menstruation.

People feel really out of control.

I felt really out of control acting irrationally.

It is slightly different from PMS in that there's no irregular hormones.

It's the way the body reacts to normal fluctuations in hormone levels.

You can think of it like an allergic reaction happening in the brain almost.

So you're talking about an inability to go to work.

You might be lying in bed all day.

You might be like – for me, I could spend hours staring at the ceiling and being like, why can't I move?
