Have you ever wondered what happens to your PMDD if/ when you get pregnant, or after you have baby?

Does it just disappear and you're in the clear for the next 9 months or longer, since it's cycle related?

In this episode, I talk about the parallels of PMDD with these other hormonally-sensitive seasons, and how symptoms may show up. It not only gives you some understanding as to what's going on in your body in these seasons, but also some practical ways to prepare so you're not caught off guard.

I hope this episode is helpful!

This episode is for you if A) you're trying to figure out if you have premenstrual dysphoric disorder, or B) you know you have it, but you are feeling overwhelmed or lost on how to manage it.

I cover 4 specific topics that will help you navigate PMDD that much easier. They're almost like that initial roadmap that so many of us wish we had or are longing for in this battle with PMDD.

I understand there are a million other things that can be done to help manage PMDD, but if you're already on the overwhelm bus, then having a 60 point to-do list won't help minimize that list.

So let's start here, and go from there, okay? Let's start with grace and curiosity towards ourselves, and work on putting the self-blame and self-criticism on the shelf.

When you think of your struggle with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, do you feel there are certain things PMDD has "stolen" from you?

Broken relationships?

Distorted thoughts?

Feelings of inadequacy?

In this episode, I go through 7 of those things I've identified in my own life. It's a reflection that brings with it a lot of grief and lament, and reminds me of the brokenness still in this world, in my body and in my relationships. But as it's Easter this month, we also know that there is a hope beyond the symptoms and broken relationships or dreams.

I talk about all of this in this episode. I encourage you to also reflect on what PMDD has "stolen" from you, but know that Christ is still Lord and in control.
