Getting Rid of PMDD: Tracking


Listen Later

Join Heidi to discover a basic way of tracking signs and symptoms you experience and an advanced way of tracking signs and symptoms. Record on paper, in a planner, on your phone, and/or using an app. 

Remember to record physical and emotional signs and symptoms. They are interconnected and influence one another.

Take Aways

  • Why you should track your signs and symptoms
  • Basic tracking includes: recording the date you begin your period, how many days you bleed, your mood, and any discord you experience in relationships.
  • Advanced tracking includes: recording the basics listed above + basal body temperature, level of sexual desire, the level of sensitivity you experience about others' comments and actions, and more detailed mood recording.
  • Use time blocks when recording mood
  • You need to know your body!
  • When you know your body, you can put logic with emotion and emotion with logic.
  • Tracking gives you more power and control of your reaction to things.
  • Tracking gives a more concrete idea of what IS happening rather than what we THINK IS happening. 
  • Tracking is not accurate if done more than a day later. 
  • Logic can help when we are overly emotional.
  • Emotion can help when we are overly logical.
