Replying to @Emily Your body is probably always letting you know something isn’t right, but we’re conditioned to believe that our crappy baselines are “normal”. However, PMDD will make it known and figuring out what factors are at play, for you, is how you treat it. It’s also important to know that *trauma* is a huge factor, as well, as it affects the HPA-axis and also makes the brain much more sensitive. 💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #womenshealth

Let them make you the villain in their own delusional story. You don't have to correct every false narrative... Protecting your peace is worth more than being understood. ✨💜 #pmddawareness #letthem #healingjourney #protectyourpeace #womensupportingwomen

💜 Many think they don’t need supplements when they don’t notice an immediate difference, or because they believe they have a well-balanced diet. When in reality, our food is not as nourishing as we’re made to think it is, AND our bodies have underlying issues requiring specific types of nutrients. 💜 PMDD thrives in a dysregulated nervous system. Practicing grounding techniques, learning self awareness, doing self care/self check-ins, and going to therapy are all crucial for PMDD. Especially if you carry any trauma. 💜 Similarly, always being made to feel faulty or unworthy will keep a nervous system in constant overdrive. Those feelings only amplify during an episode, causing our brain to think we’re in danger and our body responds accordingly… It’s a snowball effect that will never stop unless you get rid of the triggers, and surround yourself with people who genuinely support you. 💜 #pmdd #pmddawareness #pmddstruggles #pmddsupport #womenshealth
