Monthly Off-My-Chest Talk

Holy shit where was this sub when I was a teenager?!

I’m 99.999% sure I have PMDD and I get a bit upset and shaky when I think about how awful it was. I’ve been on the mini pill (progesterone only) for over 5 years now, and it stopped my periods, and even though I’ve had 5 years of relief it’s still very upsetting thinking about how much pain, emotionally and physically, I used to be in for 2 weeks every month.

I still struggle to think and talk about my gynaecological health because of how traumatic living with PMDD was, and I feel really lucky having found a birth control that was right for me on my first try. I’m actually getting a little bit tearful reading other people’s experiences, and wish I had have had access to a community like this when I was younger.
