I wish this was taken more seriously in the medical community. I almost completely disconnect with reality for a couple of days and it has taken me almost a decade and a half to realize what was happening by carefully tracking my symptoms and training myself to become objective about my own thoughts
i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
Hi Lauren! Would you mind explaining "disconnect" some more?
Im having trouble with pms/pmdd, and its more mental than physical.
You got any better?
Love from Sweden
@@kendrar3072 disassociate…. Like out of body experiences. But able to look 👀 back at yourself in terror! Not fully connecting to the events that took place that you were involved in.
Same here. And talking to other women about it is just like “yeah, I get cramps and stuff too” and I’m just like, “I become someone that I don’t even recognize.”
I struggled with this for years. And I am so grateful God allowed me to find out what was wrong with me. PMDD is so hard to deal with especially if you have no idea that that’s what you have. I never wanted to get help because I didn’t want to take medications but it started affecting me in my work I was so sensitive and emotional. But thank God I got the help that I needed. Now my life is so much better 🤍 Thank you Jesus 🙏🏽
I thank God to for the dx of PMDD, now I am under several treatments that work.
People def need to talk about this more. Women have so much shame and hide so much of what they're going thru. I have PMDD and I felt crazy and had so much guilt because I just thought I couldn't control my emotions. You feed have to be your own advocate 💜
Life changing is such an accurate way of describing it - it has definitely changed my life, lifestyle, relationships and mental health. I love that the PMDD community is growing and supporting each other - we need so much more of it! Lots of Love, Tehla Jane xx
I suffer from pmdd and it’s so bad around that time I feel like ending everything, I feel ashamed and weak🥲💔 thank you.
No reason to be ashamed! Its okay to get help!

Wow, I think I’ve had pmdd for 25 years now. I’ve been on antidepressants for the last 6 years I just couldn’t take it anymore. I’ve always thought how my period takes over my life it’s always been the week leading up to it I was too down to do anything and the week of just too nervous to do anything. Half of each month sucks. I’ve always been so bitter about that. I call in sick and when I was in school I’d miss a couple of days. I’ve had to cancel plans last minute, I’ve missed weddings. I’m 37 now and have isolated from everybody so that I don’t have to “rank out” when I get invites. Nobody understands, I feel like not many girls have it, cause everybody I’ve ever told thinks it’s silly. Just leads to isolation not wanting to express how I feel. People make me feel like I’m overreacting. I’m hopeful this disorder gets more awareness. The awareness with anxiety and depression over the last couple of years has been helpful with ppl understanding me. ❤
With 6yrs of meds you still suffer? What meds do you take? Is it not working?
I’m at my wits end, I’ve had to get rid of any pills before I flip and end it all
@@SanctifiedLady I started taking calcium and iron these past couple of months and it’s helped a lot. Figure out your deficiencies and keep track of your emotions and physical aches leading up to your period.
@@SanctifiedLady oh and I take lexapro for depression and anxiety, and yes they work. The period is the main issue now. Mild Depression and Panic attacks creep up before I start.
Thank you for making this. I have PMDD and it’s honestly torture. There is so little information on it and even less options for treatment. It’s the worst thing in the world.
omg this is so validating, im crying.

Thank you for taking the time to explain what PMDD is, I suffered for years and lost 😞 many great relationships I just found out couple months ago that whatever I was suffering from had a name Fucking PMDD I’m so sorry for all who’s going through it, I start using something for it and it start helping me
Thank you for speaking about this. I have been suffering with this for quite a while now and have been working with a chinese medicine doctor and taking a chinese herbal blend as well as Vitex (chaste tree) and Gingko Biloba
I kinda wish it didnt get compared to PMS at all because it is soooo much worse and has more symptoms than pms. I have PMDD and there are times I have called off work thinking I was sick before I was diagnosed. It got way worse after having kids for me. Today is one of those days and I am fighting through it though I really wanna call out of work today. I will feel so bad having to tell my manager. I am scared I will deal with Depersonalization-derealization. I really feel bad when I feel like this and I feel bad for others.
Can you talk more about the obvious correlation between PMDD and trauma? From what I have learned from people that work with trauma and the nervous system ( dr peter lavine and Irene Lyon) it seems our nervous systems can become sensitive to our natural hormone fluctuations because of trauma. Furthermore, there is a condition called PME which is the exasperation of already existing mental health conditions, again by the fluctuation of hormones. Does this point towards trauma and disregulated nervous systems as a possible cause? I have CPTSD and in the past my PMDD has gotten much worse as my CPTSD symptoms have. I have recently been trying a new therapy for my Cptsd and it has started to lift my PMDD symptoms as well. Maybe this is how women's bodies carry and deal with trauma. What do you think? Also I clicked so fast when I saw it was you! I watch Dereks channel and I think its so cool you cover all things period! we need more people like you making this stuff normal to discuss! :)
Very interesting
What therapy have you begun?
Wow, thanks for making these videos Crystal.
Thanks for the support Mel!
I literally didn't know that such a thing exists, before I heard YOU talk about it on IG! What an important and very well made, super informative video! You are a true blessing to the world of social media! ♥ Love you lots ♥
I have all the symptoms Im almost on my period...I will pray that indeed im not in major depression
I originally liked you from watching Derek's channel, I loved watching your hiking videos and q&a's! I have pmdd too and just want to say thank you for trying to make more folks aware of pmdd. I appreciate you!
Hi! Can you extend your content to more generalized feminine health? Like sex, how to wash, skin, fertility. I think your channel is very helpful to women and I think expanding your topic can bring in many more followers and help many more women.
Yes of course! My channel is new and I am always looking for new ideas, haha. I just never know what people want to see! I am beginning a sexual health training program soon so I will definitely be incorporating more of what I learn in that in my videos too! :)
Thank you for making this video. I wish I would have found it a few years ago so I could have gotten diagnosed sooner.
My pmdd is caused by too much estrogen. My doctor presribed progesterone (as a cream) to counteract it. Found finally help in years.
هل حقا البروجيستيرون افادك حقا
I remember one person at work saying she never has issues or has behaved like she was from "the funny farm" before her period.. I had already been open in expressing my mental health struggles during pms so that felt like a bit of an insult. A video on how to approach this may be useful if you felt like you have advice to offer.
Another calming and informative video ❤️
I have all those symptoms listed!!!
Me too babe, I’m going to the on Thursday and I’ll keep you posted✌️💜
Great video as always! Your content always seems to land at the perfect time for me 😊💞
Thanks Sarah! I am so happy to hear that!
I'm so glad you made this video. All the videos that came up in search were made by men and I don't want to hear men talk about this.
I have been going through this for yrs
Also I like your Canadian accent as soon as I heard you speak I was like “Canadian!”
Very interesting and informative. Thank you
Thanks Jane!
Pmdd is horrible, but we can fight it
Thanks Crystal, this was really informative!
You are so welcome!
fluoxetine, has helped me a lot
Insightful video Crystal 😊
Thank you :)
Yes I want to take my life whenever I suffer from pmdd😢😢
Great effort but it’s highly individual, I’m triggered by the progesterone drop but others are different
Love the info ❤️❤️ always helpful!
Thank you so much Harper!!!
Miss your videos! ♥️✨
Please try fluoxetine
It gets to the point that life feels super distorted and not real before I start my period. And my breast pain is so bad I have to put ice packs on them.
It comes from a mthfr and comt gene enzyme mutation
I feel like my PMDD is exacerbated by my IUD. Is this normal? I’ve had it for 4 years now and it’s hard to remember what I felt like before that but I don’t think it was this bad 😢
I am no doctor, not even a nurse, but I have had four pregnancies… one was a miscarriage, they told me I could never get pregnant again and that I may be had a 20% chance of conceiving… one year and a half later I got pregnant with my last and hemorrhage when they tied my tubes. Just like when I hemorrhaged when I was under when they were doing my dilation and evaluation for my miscarriage!.. I have never been the same since my D&E!!! I now have PMDD, awfully, even my children don’t wanna be around me, because I turn into a completely different person!!! I hope and pray that this does not happen to any other women, and that you guys will never have to go through anything like this😢✌️💜 ladies
I was diagnosed with PMDD and I am pursuing electrical engineering. Do you think this diagnosis will make it impossible to accomplish? 😢
Not the OP but absolutely not. You can do whatever you put your mind to. Having a career you enjoy with coworkers or bosses who are patient and understanding is more of an influence than the job itself. I feel like that may be a male dominated field so I just hope they treat you with respect because men have a hard time understanding.
thanks ❤️
Is there any treatment for this I have this sometimes it is uncontrollable I can't control my emotions ,,😥😥

Oral contraceptive is a very popular treatment, I'm getting this too. But I want to stop taking it just because I don't like take meds all the time. I want to check if I really can live without OC
fluoxetine
I don’t like her using language like PMDD will affect a lot of people, no it will affect a lot of women, only women menstruate. I’m out of here.
Agreed women only
I do agree with you, however, as a mother and others that I have affected with my PMDD I can tell you from experience it is not easy for them either✌️💜

What a minor detail to get hung up on.
