Leah story isnt just healing her, her daughters, but also all of us...this is a huge shift...thank you❤ We appreciate you so much.
Girl, I'm a whole therapist with PMDD. I got all the skills, through providing and receiving my own therapy, but once that 1-2 weeks before my period hits, I'm a whole different human. It is such a consuming condition and mental health research is lacking because sexism is deeply rooted in the field's history. Finding the right birth control makes a difference, and having a partner who is supportive and loving. Tracking your cycle and trying to move things around so there's less commitments when it's harder can help, but it's so hard to predict. I'm going to keep praying that a solution will come because this is a different kind of pain and anguish. You're not alone ❤️
My doctor keep telling me this may be what I have but she hasn’t diagnosed anything my therapist starting to think this too I’m curious .
🙏
WOW! Listen, Leah has a masters in mental health counseling!!! There's a thin line between a therapist and those seeking therapy. I can only imagine the journey, but I know your own lived experience gives you deeper insight when you help others. I'm sorry that this has been your struggle too, but I really appreciate the words of wisdom!
And if I can add something start looking at the foods you eat and the ingredients in that foods namely chicken and beef, some have growth hormones injected into them and when you do research to the kind of hormones and how it effects women bodies you would stop eating it. Dyes in foods also have an effect. Try to do a little research on your food intake and believe me it will make a world of difference. Just being vegan isn't enough a lot of has to do with not getting enough nutrients and lack of nutrients, which affects our hormones and throws our body out of wack. I am sorry Ms. Leah is experiencing all this, but having been through something similar I discovered it was my food and changed it up a bit and it helped...someone told me to look at what I was eating.
@@pj195 food. So simple. Yet so effective. People have tried complicated solutions yet food is the solution.
If there's just ONE thing I want Leah to know, it's that sharing her journey has not been in vain. Her story, her strength, her presence, her vulnerability--they've impacted me greatly in ways that I can't articulate except to say that they've made me feel less alone. Thank you, Leah.
Girl PMDD is hell on earth. Two weeks out of the month I'm sound mind. You aren't alone sister.
Dang Leah despite what you are going through you look radiant. I will continue to to keep you all in my prayers 🙏🏾🥰
I am a counseling psychologist and have been watching this channel for several months. I applaud you and your family for the transparency and compassion towards yourselves. You are not alone in your support. Keep going!
Think you Leah and La Guardia for sharing Leah's journey. I wasn't aware of PMDD. Please know that I love you and I'm always cheering for you!! Thank you for being vulnerable. You're helping others by sharing your story. 💜💜
I am praying for you and your family. I have bi polar depression, anxiety, RA, osteoarthritis, neuropathy and fibromyalgia which all leads to chronic fatigue and all kinds of mental health extremes. My family has deserted me. I do have my son that is 23 and autistic and that makes it much harder. Just thank God that your family is there to love you through this. It's awful doing it alone. I love your family and I know you all love each other very much. You are on my daily prayer list!❤
🙏🏾💜🩵🩷
I'm so sorry, Angela
@ angeladarby1555, sending you prayers 🙏🏽 and virtual hugs 🫂 ❤
Women are not meant to be alone. The natural habit for women is a female community to support each other.
Your wife is on my church prayer list for everyday prayer till she is healed completely by God. There is hope for her recovery. Do not get upset. It will turn ok.😢❤❤❤❤❤
I began my cycle at 11 with straight labor pains and rage. A week before and the week of I was terrible. I got on birth control from 14-16. Then my body started changing and it started again. People I went to school with in high school said I was mean. No I was hormonal. After I had my baby at 19 it got a little better. When I started my career I had to do something. The IUD has been a help. When I go through menopause I’m going to have to go into the woods somewhere.
I'm almost 56 and already went through menopause and I thought I was going to die. Do hide in the woods 😂
PMDD is the worse kind of devil to deal with! I am sorry that they tried to mess with the wrong person. The mother who loves on her two, beautiful and smart daughters. The wife that’s always there in her husband’s corner. The woman who loves on her family. I know you can fight this Leah and you will get through it. Continue to heal in the best way you know fit and how. Sending you all love, prayers and strength. ❤
i hope Leah stays strong and keeps going through out the future…
Love ur content La Guardia,
As I am a 13 year old I love your videos, the interviews with the children, the funny stuff..
It all makes me giggle and laugh with you and your wife…
And Leah, you are the best wonderful mother to your kids. Giving them the best childhood they have and taking care of them…
i promise that you will stay strong and don’t give up!
"But I do trust (the) Creator and I trust the spirit He's given me." Man. A Word. How beautiful. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I don't know you but I feel so proud of you and great full for you. This might help my 14 year old niece. She's fighting depression and suicidal thoughts. The awareness of your diagnosis might help explain some of her struggles. I'll share your story with her mom. Thank you for your openess. I truly hope for you to have complete happiness and peace here on earth.
God bless your niece 🙏🏾 I truly hope this is helpful for her and that she (and Leah) improve and heal. ❤
My prayers are with you and your family, Leah. 🙏🏾🤗
Leah you're loved by many. Just hold on to your faith. Lots of prayers going up for you and your family. ❤
That last part of "going with your own flow because it's good enough for you" was powerful. Thank Leah and La Guardia for sharing your journey with us.
THANK YOU💕💕
Your openness will no doubt have a PROFOUND affect on others that are looking for answers & may not know this is the cause of their suffering as well🖤
Knowing is half the battle and waiting to receive info or making a tough decision can be challenging. I'm glad you both finally have an answer. Now that it's been defined, you can find a way to manage, work through, and/or conquer it.
I used to suffer from PMDD as well. I didn't know who I was because my emotions and moods were extreme. Not to mention the physical pain. I used to take so much ibuprofen and take birth control pills back to back. My quality of life improved drastically with a hysterectomy. The best decision I ever made.
Leah, two simple things that have helped me navigate my pmdd is first, being able to look at the calendar and know that is the reason for the way I am feeling that day. And second, I know I am not supposed to make any big life changing decisions during that window of time, per my counselor's advice. Those two things have kept me safe. It doesn't make the ride any easier, but I know that in those hardest moments , as author Jenny Lawson says, "Depression is a lying *******, don't believe it." And don't spontaneously react to things. Give it a week or so and then circle back to it.
You are definitely not alone. Bless you for spreading knowledge about pmdd and the love you share with all of us. Prayers for you & your entire family. ❤
6:11 Wise words, Leah. Even at 40 and still struggle with mental illness, I'm still learning to love myself more. I wish you and your family nothing but good vibes and better days ahead.
Leah, this will be the footstool for your breakthrough! THANK YOU for your transparency and willingness to share, you are doing great work for your culture. Thank you La Guardia for the work that you do every day and for showing what being a good husband and partner is all about. You both show a ministry of love in what you share and do!
Every word is golden. Amen, God. I thank you just for hearing how you're STILL in the blessing business. Keep letting Him use you, Leah, one day at a time. 👑🙏🏾
Leah, you are truly on the right path-Love and Peace. Probably two of the most important things in our life; 2 things that GIVE life; healing! Continue to trust in God-He IS Love!❤❤❤ Praying!🙏🏾
Amen 🙏🏾
My baby sister has pmdd. She has not been diagnosed, I just know due to her symptoms like extreme anger, cruelty for no reason, anxiety attacks, agressiveness,, short of breath, just to name a few. She's mean b4 her cycle and sometimes during. She's married and her husband works doubles during that time. They don't have children. So, I completely understand what your family is going through.
I'm so proud of Leah. Even though we have never met, I love all of you and I'm always sending love and praying for your well being. Thank you for sharing so that others may heal as well.
We love you guys and pray only the best for your family as you go through this journey of discovery and healing.
We love you all so much...thank you for your transparency and representing. Thank you Thank you Thank you.❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us strangers! We love you guys!!
I also have PMDD (and was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism) and this road has been extremely long. I'm glad I'm not walking this alone ❤ Be well
I was diagnosed with this 5 years ago. Now that I know what it is and how it works, I'm able to live a better life. Journal how you feel daily. After doing this for a few months you'll be able to see the trends. You'll be able to know what days will likely be harder days for you. In those days take the time you need. Sleep. Don't answer the calls of those that upset you. You do have to be a part of your own healing. Know your cycles. Know when you are ovulating...watch how you handle those days. Pay attention to the time around your cycle. Over time you'll understand your body. Also B vitamins and B6 are sooooo helpful. Don't give PMDD the power. You can do this.
❤❤❤ I am grateful you now have a diagnosis. I hope you are able to get the help you need for your wife.
I like how she says she is choosing it herself. Your own flow is good enough for you. That's something we were never taught to respect. As we grow we get more info on if and how our flow could improve for the better. Go with your own flow. Listen to your heart.
OMG Leah, your story has made me feel like I’m not alone. I deal with major depressive disorder and I know this is a challenging journey. I am so very proud of you and happy for you! I’m sending you, LaGuardia and the girls such a big hug!!!!! We’re all praying for you guys and we’ll always be here for you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate you, Leah. You are so brave to share your struggles with the world. Through your story, I have learned something about my past experiences and recent ones. There were times I had no support growing up, and even as an adult. Some doctors don't know what to say or do. Prayer, faith, my children, a supportive, loving partner, and other things have held me together. I'll keep praying for you and other women who are going through the same experiences.
Keep holding on. Be blessed.🙏🏽💖
❤❤To God Be the Glory 🙏🙏Prayers for strength and continued healing 🙏
I never heard of PMDD before this video. I suffer from Graves Disease and PCOS and I would go long periods of time without having a cycle. My cycle finally became normal about 3 years ago and since then I have noticed the changes in my mental health monthly and it is very hard to deal with. Marijuana helps me the most, but it's still a struggle. Thank you Leah❤
I'm usually not on the computer this late, but I know God lead me here---To hear Leah's and your story. I've followed you guys from the beginning, an experienced the journey with your family. Trust and believe, God's got you all!!! I know this to be true, as I've seen him manifest himself in others, as well as my self. Please trust and believe, that I and others are praying steadfastly, for healing grace. She is such as beautiful soul, and she has come a very long way. You, La Guardia, are the one, that God meant for Leah. Your commitment is unwavering. The love and devotion you two share, is God's manifestation. Hold on to each other, keep searching for answers. Research, talk with more and new professionals. Do all you can, with God's guidance, the answer is out there. Love you all, xoxoxoxo❣❣❣❣❣❣
I’m sorry all I see is an adult version of your daughters and that’s so beautiful when kids look just like their mom or dad❤ happy she had a good day and that in itself is giving her hope 🎉
Thank you for sharing I'm 55 and my oldest daughter is 35 and she got diagnosed with this and now my 14 year old will see an OBGYN in December to get help too. The women in my family have been suffering for years with mental illness and issues with our periods. I'm so thankful my oldest daughter got help, now we all know what this is. Sending healing prayers and love 🙏❤️
Thank you both for sharing. I truly believe she will be cured at some point in her life. But the determination to carry on in the meantime is truly inspiring.
Pmdd is so rough. I suffered with it since I started a period. Didn't know until about a year ago. Almost 20 years of thinking I was bipolar or some other form of mental illness. I'm glad you've found ways of coping with it.
The sad thing is, no one educates us women about that topicof women health, besides showing which pad to use and otherwise to shut up and deal with it in most parts of the world.
Depo-Provera (a common birth control injection, every 3 months, my insurance covered it) stopped my periods and did not make me more depressed. (I do suffer from long-term depression, as well.) On Depo, I did not gain weight or lose fertility afterward. Just a thought.
I love this family and I named my daughter Nayeli because it's such a beautiful name and it means I love you in native American ❤ God is Love!
Hugs to prayers to you. I have PMDD as well.
And Leah, your skin is telling on you. It says you've been putting good stuff into it ❤❤❤
My prayers and fast healing and answers to you and your family🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Leah, you’re a beautiful woman inside and out. We’re behind you all the way. Sharing your story is helping so many of us. Thank you and I know God will restore you. ❤
I appreciate every time you guys share your story! You're helping many of us who don't have those words to heal ourselves yet. Much love and protection for your family!
The Most High Ahayah will deliver you Leah. Please keep your faith 🙏🏼❤️ Yashayah will heal your mind, body and spirit. He has kept you this far and he will never leave you. You are still here on this earth because he wants you to be here. Never forget that ma'am. In those dark moments call out to him and he will comfort you more than any medication ever could. I pray for continued healing, protection and growth for you and your family. Blessings. Amen and Amen. Praise Yah 👏🏼
The fact that you're able to receive love and to share love and to also find the power to trust is a testament in itself. Continue move forward with hope and remember even in times of darkness that your light is still there adding to the constellation of life
Thank you guys for sharing your journey to pour into the lives of others❤
Thank you for sharing your story. Your family is beautiful! I know it’s hard some times but the way you love each other makes my heart happy. ❤
Prayers i renember watching you guys and the babies so many years ago
Thanks for this video LA Guardia. Leah spoke to me today. Timely word. Blessings and wellness to you both.
Leah, YOU LOOK GREAT! Please continue. There is no "cure" for anything. But the body can "HEAL" from almost anything. Healing is a journey. The same way that we must breathe every minute, so it is with healing and mental health as well. We must care for health every day.
Thank you SO much Leah!! Please know that you are SEEN and you are LOVED, and WONDERFUL,!!
I feel your pain I wholeheartedly welcomed menopause couldn’t wait keep your head up and prayers from me 💝💝💝💝💝💝
Yay!! Leah I’m always praying and pulling for you. Your husband’s love has helped you. Your other family also, God bless you all.
aaaaaand that explains. SO. FREAKING. MUCH. WOW. about a year ago, i watched another creator explain her experience w| PMDD + yea. holy hell, this...yea. definitely adds up.
You can listen to the Podcast as well as read the transcripts. This husband & wife team are very caring & know their "medicines". Dr. Maki is one of The Best ND's I found. I hope this information is helpful.
So good to see you again, Ms. Leah! Thank you so much for sharing your health journey, it is so important for each of us to take good care....💐
I appreciate your transparency Leah, PMDD is such a hard disorder to live with and often time goes undiagnosed. I have PMDD too and I went through a few different treatments but the one thing that has worked for me* is serotonin inhibitors. That’s made a significant difference in my mood fluctuations close to the time of my period. I pray that you find something that works for you. Good luck on your journey ♥️♥️
Thanks for sharing your journey. You're not alone, and this definitely helps others...
My pastor reminded us of this powerful story. In Matthew 8:2-3, a came and said, Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Jesus responded, , “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”. I don’t know if God will deliver Leah from her illness, but I’m believing that if God is willing, he can definitely heal her. That will be my prayer for Leah on this day.
Prayers to Leah she will overcome this condition.
Leah and the family have my fill support and prayers
Celesta has been the only thing to help me with pmdd. It’s such a nightmare cycle and i am praying for you.
Sharing love and joy with your family, and health and happiness for 2024.
Praise the Lord! Amen! There are women who are struggling with this who have been misdiagnosed and mistreated. We’ve been praying for your family. I pray for continued healing and peace to surround you. Thank you for sharing your story.
Leah you are a help for so many people. We are grateful for you. One second at a time. We love you and your beautiful family.
I praise God for your small miracle! May you have many more miracles and breakthrough!
Sending you so much love, Leah!
Thank you for this
I'm so proud of you Leah ❤
💚💚💚 you're so strong
We love you guysso much❤
May Strength and Support and Love for you and family!
Praying for you.....sending lots of love❤❤
Leah, I woke up a bit yesterday, and a bit today, I figured I is I that have to wake myself up, no one around to rescue me, all my family had passed on, friends the same.
Leah, LaGuardia, girls 💘.
I love you guys fam. I’m rooting for you Leah. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your family. LaGuardia you are a gem of a father. and husband. I’m so proud of you guys. My mom suffered from depression and passed away after developing a disease due to her mental illness. Big hugs to you. Thank you all!!
Leah's ability to deliver this message is proof that God/dess answers prayer. Leah- your confession to "live from love" on this journey is, to me, proof that you & La Guardia's presence on this medium is clearly a divine vessel through which The Creator is touching so many more souls. I truly trust The Divine to keep & carry & protect you... frfr! It's what true faith is all about. Bless. 🙏🏽
We love you both, LaGuardia and Leah!
Prayers and love sent from Indianapolis. You’re not alone 🤍
Hearing Leah speak about her inner struggles was very insightful. I feel for her so much. I hope that someday we can all find success in our journey to overcome our personal battles. It's easy to forget that you do not have to be alone in this journey and that we are doing more than enough just by continuing at our own pace
Thanks so much for sharing❤ prayers 🙏 for your family
I love your family. Thank you for all you do.
Praying for strength for you guys, 🙏
Hi LaGuardia and Leah, I am so thankful that you received a diagnosis. This is a huge step in the right direction. I hope you guys will still consider seeing Dr. Ayass, as his testing may open up new pathways for treatment. I sent you a DM with details. Continuing to pray for the Lord to reveal more and to continue to carry you all through this challenge. He's got you! Sending much love. ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your journey Leah... I wish love light and healing to you
You're a precious couple. Please keep loving one another🙏
Hey sister - it's okay to feel the way you do - I get it, I understand - just know this, life is worth living and YOU do matter - it takes practice but let some of that stress roll off your back, as long as you have your hubby and your girls and you pay the mortgage - everything else is GRAVY. You know deep down you can get past this difficult time - you can do it. /hugs
My Sister, thank you for your transparency❤
Leah, thank you so much for your vulnerability and trust and bravery in your experience with mental illness. The more we talk about it publicly, the more it becomes normalized. Your story touches me. My heart is with you. ❤
I just wish her well.
Big hug from a fan in Trinidad and Tobago since Amala was a wee little one
❤ to this beautiful family !
Not to long ago got the same diagnosis and it explained sooo much.... Its hard to deal with but defeat will not be the choice. Awareness is so important and I am glad that you talked about it!
You guys are Love 🤗❤ best wishes ❤
