I don't know if threads work well here...
I have a disorder called PMDD (common co-morbidity of ADHD). My PMDD is classed as severe.
For 2 weeks out of every month, my life changes drastically. I get many symptoms, but the main ones are extreme fatigue, brain fog, depression and hopelessness.

I saw something earlier that said that the majority of uterus-having autistic people also have #pmdd. I'm curious to hear some feedback about this. Those who are #actuallyautistic *or* those who have #bpd (or both)—do you have pmdd? And do you treat it in any way?
I'm so hesitant to go back on an antidepressant and I'm also hesitant (though maybe less so) to go back on birth control.... but oh my god I suffering so much more around my period and it's costing me so much. Too much.

women who deal with PMDD and ADHD - my sister is struggling with both and could use some tips to deal with those things combined with Vyvanse (ADHD meds)
I've made a Ren'Py update to my game, a shower story. I wanted to do a remake for Disability Pride (Wrath?) month and this game about my experience with PMDD is one I actually end up turning to a lot just to remember I've survived the month before. I'm coming in late but we made it.
Content warnings still apply: blood, gore, body horror, menstruation.
Someone recently told me that he won't try taking antidepressants because he doesn't want to be numbed by drugs. I probably thought this way, too, but I've found it to be the other way around.
Depression is numbing. Anxiety is a locked room. I'm not a psychiatrist, but it's my understanding that #SSRIs reverse the neurological damage caused by #depression. I've experienced this as winter into spring.
I have #PMDD and I'm really, really, really tired of it.
If you have PMDD then you know what my thoughts/gremlins are like.
If you don't, then imagine the worst thing your brain could tell you. Mine has that on repeat.
#introduction
Hello everyone!
My name is Ali, I'm a #phdstudent at the University of the Sunshine Coast with #ADHD and #PMDD
My project "The Cost of Human Milk" explores the #value(s) of #humanmilk through the lived experience of those who donate, share or receive human milk. (I've just started recruiting. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be posting more about it soon!)
I balance this with casualised work in the university sector as a #sessionalacademic and #researchassistant (both jobs I love, and blessed to be working with total legends) and raising two young kids.
I'm not hugely active on social media but I do love to talk all things #productivity #notetaking #academia #apps and would love to connect with others who share the same interests.
I've been struggling for quite a while. I'm a person who has to try hard every day just to be OK and I live a very carefully curated life to make sure this is possible. Despite this, despite doing literally everything I can, sometimes I am not able to keep depression and PMDD at bay. That's soul destroying.
I speak about this because many people suffer and imo the only way to approach the subject is head on.
