So
affects like quite a few people it's very under it's very under diagnosed so like I when I was researching the book I found that's between like three and ten percent of people which is like who menstruate which is a big gap of people but it's like extreme irritability before your period in like the seven to ten days before your period before menstruation extreme irritability you have suicidal ideation often and you're unable to work and
interpersonal conflicts with friends, families, partners.
That's kind of like the big DSM criteria for it.
For me, I just felt like I was crazy.
It felt like I was out of control.
It feels like I can't trust myself.
And it feels like I might do something insane at any moment and to be unable to stop myself.
So like the feelings that I have before PMDD is this like kind of building of tension.
And then afterwards, I like, I'm almost fearful of what I could have done to myself or other people.
It took me a really long time.
Um, like I went in and out of different psychologists being like, I absolutely in tears devastated one week, I'd come back three weeks later and I'd be like, I don't know what I was upset about.
I'm feeling totally fine.
And the psychologist would be like, that's amazing.
Smart goals are really effective.
Um, and I just didn't know what was wrong.
And then I went to.
one GP to get another mental health care plan and another kind of luteal phase.
This is this old man at a bulk billing clinic who just kind of wants me out in like 15 minutes.
And he's like looking through the list of things that he can diagnose me with because it's not quite depression, it's not quite anxiety.
