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

So instead of looking at myself as this monster who could hurt other people or hurt me and felt out of my control, recognizing that like, oh, I guess like the way to think about it is like people will often say to you, well, it's not you, it's your anxiety.

It's not you, it's your depression.

It's not you, you're acting this way because of this.

And my response to that is, okay, well, then who the fuck am I?

Yes.

Because I am myself when I'm anxious.

I am myself when I'm PMDD.

You might not like it.

I might not like it.

But I have to – I only have one life.

I live it.

I am still myself.

And so trying to stitch those identities back together to be myself with PMDD and myself without and be able to –

I don't know, have some resolution or some trust in myself that that's okay.

I just feel it makes it easier to live with.

Yeah, and forgiving of myself and not saying that wasn't me, that was somebody else who did that.

But being able to be accountable for my actions, trust myself not to cross that line and do something that I truly regret.

and know that this will end and I will be happy again.

It might not be helpful but it might still be – Reality.

Look, when I'm in the luteal phase, despite the stitching of identities, I cannot necessarily speak right now for how I might react to them.
