You’re Gonna Want To Hear This · Emma Hardy: PMDD & The Truth About Female Rage · 3 Jun 2026 podcast

Like you were behaving badly.

You were crying all night.

Like I can't pretend that you weren't spending all of last night just like sobbing and go back to normal.

We need to talk about this or address this.

But yeah, a lot of crying, a lot of anger.

I relate to the, I don't think I have smashed a glass, not for lack of wanting to.

Well, yeah, I don't have kids but this has been one of the things that I've been really anxious about with thinking about having kids is like what would that do to me and what would I reflect to them as well as just thinking about what would happen with postnatal depression since they're similar hormones.

Um, it's terrifying.

Um, and a part of the one thing that I explored in the book was also women who have done bad things while they're PMSing and the way that our culture responds to that as well.

Um, like we don't think of women as being violent, but like if you have an illness like PMDD, you see that you don't want to be violent, but you are completely capable of violence.

Um, and that kind of anger, um,

And if we ignore that, then we don't address that either.

For me, it felt like, and I don't know if you relate to this, it felt like I just supremely couldn't trust myself.

So I had a lot of suicidal ideation when I have PMDD.

And I became really, really afraid that I would hurt myself.

And the way I was thinking about that was almost like I wasn't myself when I had PMDD.

And so this monster that had taken over my body was

was going to hurt me.

And me, my normal happy self, was some other version of me that was just being harmed by this.

And so I think part of writing this book was also trying not to have such disparate identities because I don't think that was helpful in terms of actually having to live with this illness.
