I Have PMDD/PME

I Have PMDD/PME

It is PMDD Awareness Month. I’ve pledged to do what I can to spread awareness because I, myself, suffer from it and wish I had known sooner.

My symptoms drastically worsened a year after I had my daughter, Luna.

It was my husband, Tim, who brought this disorder to my attention. He believed me, did not dismiss me, and took the time to research on my behalf during a time that I felt hopeless and incapable of doing normal daily activities. And, yes, during a time where words like “I want to die” would come tumbling out of my mouth.

Please read on, and save someone’s life just by bringing this disorder to their attention.

Knowing about PMDD has changed my life for the better. I’m still struggling, but with therapy and medication, I finally feel like I have a piece of my old self back.

PMDD stands for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. And those with underlying mental health issues, may suffer from PME (Pre-menstrual Exacerbation).

All through my menstruating years, I was told that my PMS symptoms were normal. This meant that my symptoms were swept under the rug and dismissed by others and myself.

PMDD is NOT PMS.

PMDD is NOT a hormone imbalance.

PMDD IS “a cyclical, hormone-based mood disorder with symptoms arising during the premenstrual, or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle... It affects an estimated 5.5% of women and AFAB individuals of reproductive age.

PMDD IS a severe negative reaction in the brain to the natural rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone. It is a suspected cellular disorder in the brain. Symptoms can worsen over time and or around reproductive events such as menarche (the first menstrual cycle), pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, and perimenopause.

Those with PMDD are at increased risk for suicide and suicidal behavior.” - IamPMD.org

I implore everyone to go to the website above and take a self screening test, even if it’s on behalf of a loved one.

I can’t stress enough how important it is. Someone you love right now could be in such a state of hopelessness and ready to do whatever it takes to end it.

The next time you think your daughter or your wife or your sister or a friend is being “over emotional, overdramatic, ‘just’ PMSing,” please think twice and check in with them. Really check in with them, because what you see on the surface is nothing compared to what that person is suffering within.

I’m going to be very feral, very very very feral.

Here you go. The Good Omens S2 Episode 1 title sequence, by Peter Anderson Studios, music by David Arnold. We warned you it was madder than the S1 titles, and it is. I think it's really good.

Although I Don't Have So Many Drawings To Choose, I Decided To Redraw One Of Them. In The Fact, It’s

Although I don't have so many drawings to choose, I decided to redraw one of them. In the fact, it’s my first work posted on tumblr (except the profile pict). So, here we go! I screwed up anatomy, I have no idea where the ribs and belly belong. Just imagine one soft cloud and melted snek, yeah?

I don't think my punishment was the Fall.

I think God put me in that garden, and you on the Eastern wall, knowing you were everything I'd ever want and everything I could never have.

My punishment was never to be a demon; the Serpent of Eden; the Fallen.

God cursed me to spend millennia walking the Earth, desperately and maddeningly in love with you, knowing that I could never have you.

The Ineffable Plan became my Ineffable Punishment; for a crime I didn't realise I'd committed until it was too late.

It's always too late, isn't it?
