Video

OMG thank you so much for sharing..the past 2 days have been intense to say the least, with rage attack Thursday and overwhelm from social gathering yesterday..just so appeasing knowing someone else somewhere knows exactly what it is

I love how slow and calm your videos are…without gimmicks or tons of jump cuts or sounds, etc., fighting to keep our attention. In a world of constant bombardment and overstimulation in the media, your channel feels like a safe space. Thank you. ❤

Thank you for your transparency. I definitely relate to probably everything you said. I have every symptom of PMDD, neurodiversity, am an extra sensitive person, and am currently in my hell week. I have tried everything. Feeling seen and heard is helping right now. I will need to watch again since I am not retaining any information right now. 😂

I appreciate this video and totally relate with everything you go through. It’s been so hard dealing with PMDD as a mom of two because it’s gotten so much worse since having kids, and I don’t have very much time at all to continuously check in with my body throughout the day anymore. Kids are extremely loud and overstimulating too, which has made the experience even more difficult. 🫠

❤❤❤ same

I'm going through all this symptoms right now. I feel so sick and streessed.

How relatble

What do you do if your period is not, has never been, predictable? I have never been, not even on the pill. It can be 21 days or it can be 30 or anywhere in between. How can I track given that situation

I am struggling with this since 3 years now and i used to think every girl goes through the same thing i am just too weak to handle this

I noticed this in myself when I started tracking my symptoms. What’s crazy is how quickly my symptoms changed when I took creatine!!! I’ve heard people say the carnivore diet helps ❤❤❤❤❤❤

thank you for this video I spent the last two days in bed depressed completely hopeless

This video may have just saved my life 😢 thank you soooo much you beautiful soul ! I am suffering so much with this and I never knew I wasn’t alone and that these horrible debilitating symptoms are PMDD and not something Inherently wrong with me . Thank you

We share the same childhood experiences and how we experience life into adulthood. Its been a long journey. We went through all of that for a reason. ♡ I'm going to school to become a healer as well.

Thank you 💚💚

I am 57 years old and had severe pmdd since my teenage years. When I got menopause I breezed through it and finally felt completely sane all the time and have for the last seven years. It is utter bliss after years after all the years of the complete madness of pmdd.

I wish so badly we still lived in san Francisco 😢

Im autistic and a blk woman, my husband is adhd and yt...our experiences are soooo different. He had someone to advocate for him, his mother. But i grew up on foster care. Either way we both can relate to what youre saying. Youve got hs late 30s adults crying like babies. Thank you for speaking your truth. You are valued 🥹

Thank you thank you

I feel like a lot of people talk about the extreme depression and suicidal ideation of PMDD but not a lot of people talk about the horrific rage, and the fear of that rage and how it might come out and cause damage to your life. Thank you for talking about it

Can you please suggest some of the books you read about witchcraft and such practices....

Your work is changing my life! I feel so seen. A recent PMDD diagnosis brought me here but I've stayed for your somatic/holistic/spiritual approach and the many a-ha moments I've experienced while watching your videos. You are helping me to release so much shame built up since childhood. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I really needed this video today. Ive been so deeply depreesed and it feels like i never come out of the PMDD it just gets worse.. ive been feeling called to find some kind of practice. Thank you for this video ❤ im not alone!

You jut gave the exact same explanation for women of wisom that I see witches for. I am Polish and in my language the word meaning "witch" is dirived from the word "knowledge". For centuries women of knowledge were perceived by men dangerous and it happened everywhere in the world. They still are but now they are called "strong women" and men are as scared of us as they have always been. So, hello "sister". :) Thank you for talking about it. You made me realise that It's not me just losing it/going slowy mad. That it's not in my head but that i's real.

I also have PMDD, something that I have been doing recently that has helped A LOT is a daily tai chi practice

you're amazing! so appreciated. I have pmdd too and this has been helpful for tool info and also to remember I'm not alone. very validating.

Anyone get misophonia during hellweek . Every repetitive noise throws me over the edge

Menopause is blessing! 🎉

Please make a new video ❤

Thank you for your courage and wisdom, Elizabeth. As a super sensitive, somatically inclined young dude - it helps so greatly to see and mirror such a warm space :)

You are so beautiful❤Thank you so much for sharing. I've been struggling with this for at least a few months now, possibly even years without realizing it. I really enjoy how you're showing us some really helpful grounding techniques. For me, my mind is all ready like a tornado, because I'm autistic (possibly ADHD as well) and have a VERY hard time not ruminating on the same crappy thoughts over and over again, so this PMDD is like a tornado on steroids inside my mind (a hurricane I guess) and it's gotten so bad recently that I couldn't stop thinking about unaliving myself. It's been really terrifying lately. I have a two for one deal now, because the same hormones that caused PMDD, (⬆estrogen and ⬇progesterone) I strongly feel caused me to have fibrocystic breasts. (there's no real connection usually, this is just my experience) I found two painful cysts inside my left breast, (noncancerous🙏) during what I now know was a PMDD episode. I'm still upset about it, because my breasts were the only part of my body that consistently made me feel really wonderful about myself, and now the lumps make me feel sick to my stomach every time I just want to enjoy myself and hurt whenever touched, and it 's been hard not feeling horrible about myself because of how I've been feeling in my body. I will be getting them aspirated on Wednesday, so hoping that will help me feel better about my body at least. It now makes sense why I still felt horribly depressed even after I found out I didn't have cancer. It's been reeking havoc on my life and passion to create art. (I am an oil painter) I'm going to do some gardening outside to see how I feel. My heart goes out to anyone going through this. this is NOT EASY! and don't let anyone tell you otherwise and invalidate how you feel in any way ❤🫂

to help with my pmdd i am trying out different birth controls, the first i was depressed all the time instead of just 10 days before. the second i had no emotion whatsoever (may seem like a good thing but it wasn’t). the one im on now is making my mood swings INSANE. i used to be only depressed but now i am crying then extremely happy then physically angry and destructive. all of these behaviours are triggered or not and its so frustrating. i have no idea how else i am supposed to cope with this cruel disorder and doctors are no help 😖

Thank you so much for this video and all your videos for that matter. I've struggled with PMDD all my life. I'm 40 now. I've been misdiagnosed by so many doctors throughout my life, but I've always knew I had PMDD but didn't know it had a name. It really impacts my life. I'm a mom and a pursuing musician and it greatly impacts me but I'm now learning to manage it and like you said in this video, live with it. Really learning to accept my diagnosis and not fight it anymore, because that makes it worse. The shame and guilt is real, but now I"m letting that go. This diagnosis is not my fault. Anyway, I appreciate you, thank you! Love to you from a sista!

I don't know if mine's PMS or PMDD. All I know is that one half of the month, I'm the happiest person. The other half, everything hits. I'm very sad, just want to be alone, confused, doing the most not so sensible things and regretting it, getting unnecessarily angry and... I know stress makes things even worse. I don't think I'm okay.

Hi Elizabeth, I was wondering if there are any somatic psychology masters you would recommend?

Hi Elizabeth - what is the pendent that you're wearing around you neck? :)

l watched 10 minutes and was so impressed l just couldn't wait to send your link to my darling daughter who is 25 and struggles with what could possibly be PMDD, she has so many of the symptoms. She was diagnosed 2 years ago with borderline personality disorder.....But l have my suspicions there may be a link to her cycle. Thankyou for sharing your own experience and wisdom, and helpful strategies. l feel your work could really help not only people with PMDd but their loved ones. l even feel some relief after hearing such well articulated, honest, real life account and lm not the one suffering. ❤Thankyou from Australia 😊

Seriously. This is basically word for word exactly what I go through every month. I've also had PMDD my entire life and I'm on a similar self-care journey. Gotta manage it or it will rock your world.

Have you tried taking wild yam capsules 2 weeks before your period? I'm trying it out right now!

Thank you so much for your insight and sharing your experience. It has really helped me not feel alone. I also am trying to deal with it without using medication

I think we all struggling like Elizabeth, we have a very high level of empathy.

Wow.. thanks ..

I feel like you are describing my life. I have PMDD, adhd and complex ptsd. I am also highly sensitive and feel like an exposed nerve much of the time. I wonder if you are also intuitive/psychic.

Hi, I’m wondering how long did finding that place where he “gets you” and asks in this gentle way how you are or how is your pmdd…. How long did it take to perfect this? Is he able to maintain this every month? Do you juggle kids? I don’t mean to be rude, but the way you describe things, it all seems so calm. That is so far from my life, lol Especially adding children , who have their own issues. …. A space to strive for definitely! 🏝️

Your sensitivity and sweetness is such a powerful gift. You have a unique capacity as a therapist, your authenticity is so calming and genuine. I love how open you are about your own journey and aren't afraid to be vulnerable in sharing your healing journey with us. I haven't watched a video of yours yet that hasn't resonated with me on some level. I am grateful I found your channel!!!

Ouch. This is definitely what I have been avoiding acknowledging, respecting.

Thank you for what you are sharing. It feels so applicable and empowering. Grateful to have you join my world of mentors

JUST NEEDED TO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!! Question if I may … What if I have PMDD and high functioning depression ? I’m about to talk to a therapist for the first time in a while. I don’t think I want to be on medication either because of my reaction to it in the past. Are there any women out there that think they have both PMDD and high functioning (general) depression? And how many of those women are also in a relationship with a depressed partner ? (Also high functioning general depression)? I mean I’M FUCKED 😂 !!!! But really. Anyone else ?!! Thank you, Laurie
