Any girls with PMDD have stable relationships? I feel like no matter how hard I try to stay stable during my cycle I get triggered, ranging from mild offness, to every so often a major blow up where I destroy my whole life. Idk what to do :c

Ok so major bad actually to the point that I’ve been on birth control since 13 y/o and skipping periods w the pill since probably 17 y/o bc even on bc I want to kms while I’m pmsing. Now I’m 24 and recently quit bc to try to have a period which has led to a TON of health issues, two ER trips, a bunch of tests and medical bills, and also my mood swings have been INSANEEEE. Like zero to 100 and sometimes for literally zero reason.

So here’s my advice (dating 3 years and engaged for a few months now): have good communication - you should anyway for any decently healthy relationship, but genuinely having GOOD open communication with your partner is KEY, which is definitely something I struggled with but practicing as I was in relationships and got older/mature helped. I practiced trying to keep myself at a level where I’m communicating effectively even when I’m overstimulated and frustrated

When I got off bc and started having all these issues, it got BAD. I finally had to say to my fiancé, “I know it’s frustrating and new to deal with for you and this is the first time we’re hitting a wall like this in our relationship, but it’s also been a few years since I’ve dealt with this at all, so it’s kinda new for me too.” Just level w them, be honest.

I’m working on getting my health issues sorted and I think being open with him about the amount of pain I’m in, when, and how it’s affecting my mood at least helps him be able to understand why I’m getting easily overwhelmed and frustrated. I think when you blow up ppl think it’s a personal attack but that’s why it’s important to be able to be like “I don’t hate you rn I’m just losing my mind and need X to change to help lower my energy level rn.”

Anyway, you can do it, I believe in you. Even in my extremely committed relationship my fluctuations in my health can cause issues. It’s totally reasonable to be afraid of how this may affect things but being able to communicate it effectively can give them leverage to HELP you or at least understand you better. I hope this helps
