'PMDD - Premenstrual dysphoric disorder' - What is that?!
I always find this is such a big question. Mainly when confiding in someone new. How many times do you find yourself using the familiarity of 'PMS' to explain your PMDD? How many times do you find yourself lost for the right words or ashamed to really delve into the symptoms of this condition?
I am sure you can relate to some extent.
The answer to this question 'What is PMDD?' is not a easy one. Yes, we could list the symptoms, but we as suffers know it is far more than this. It is a cycle of highs and lows, which exhausts and rips through your daily life. You feel weak, not in control, helpless and completed cheated of life. You fight, promise yourself a stronger mind but it fights harder. You question why this has happened to you, what you did to deserve this struggle.
We all pray for hope.
Hoping the next month will be easier. Hoping the 'good days' will last longer.
We also fear the PMDD.
Can it get any worse? How can I continue with this chronic cloud over my brain? It just feels like a constant losing battle.
