Ok I don’t have time to find the posts right now, but if I remember correctly, fish also stated she has human hands and a big fluffy tail. I only remember because I edited this together but got too shy to post it. So I believe fish is something between the (very cute!) drawing above and this:

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

[headspace-hotel]

This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated

Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"

^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands

[godesssiri]

I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.

If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.

Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.

….it might be treatable.

In my experience*, the “treatment” is an SSRI/anti-depressant. So if you’re already taking one, like me and a lot of other period-havers in the US, then there virtually is no treatment.

*my experience as a privileged cis white woman in the Midwest of the US. I did a bit of reading on PMDD when I realized it’s what I was experiencing and this was the only treatment method I found. I’m really glad prev had a great doctor who was aware and empathetic, but I had to tell my doctor what PMDD is lol.

I’m not trying to argue or start shit… if there’s something I’m missing I’d love to know. It was incredibly painful and frustrating to learn that these horrible, unmanageable feelings were unavoidable and that everyone in the medical field just seemed to be shrugging their shoulders about it.

ALL THAT SAID- better and more comprehensive sex education! And mental health education and resources!

I don’t want any other person who menstruates to experience this alone, or without understanding what it is.

[raspberrymoonx]

I started birth control pills (combined estrogen/progestin) to treat my PMDD and they’ve been helping me a ton! I’d highly recommend asking your doctor about that as an option if SSRI’s don’t work for you.

The real college experience is taking a break from your chemistry assignment to have an in-depth discussion with your dad over text about how much cheese is healthy to eat in one sitting

[onestellarghost]

There are cathedrals (birds) everywhere for those with the eyes to see (my binoculars). The world is truly so full of wonder and whimsy once you take up birdwatching. There are birds everywhere. I'm never bored. I'm always on the edge of my seat looking for my next bird. You wish you were on my level.

does anyone else ever just spend hours on end planning a weekend trip you know won’t actually happen? like you just plan it for fun expecting absolutely nothing to come from it. anyway i just spent the past 5(?) hours planning a trip to Chicago to go to the pride parade and was so close to having a fully formed plan but forgot that the art museum closes at 5:00 so now i have to rearrange everything. i’m hoping i can just swap the beach and museum, the only issue is we then won’t get very much air conditioning on day 2 of my most likely imaginary trip
