Navigating the stormy waters of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) can feel like an uphill battle, especially when it comes to maintaining healthy, meaningful relationships. With over 18 years of living with PMDD, I share my personal journey and the emotional complexities that arise when your body and mind are at odds. Learn how acknowledging that it's perfectly okay to not be okay can lead to profound self-awareness and revelations about your connections with others, as I recount a recent dating experience that ended and how it highlighted the courage required to seek understanding and support.

Silent suffering can be a heavy burden, often leading to feelings of isolation and loneliness. In this episode, we tackle the importance of open communication and the dangers of suppressing emotions, especially in relationships where partners sense something amiss. Through candid personal experiences, we explore the severe consequences of untreated PMDD symptoms like anxiety, depression, and fatigue, emphasizing the critical need for understanding and addressing these symptoms to regain control and empowerment. Discover how PMDD relationship sessions can offer hope and the necessary tools to avoid pretending everything is fine when it's not.

Authenticity and transparency are key in overcoming relationship challenges, particularly when coping with PMDD. We discuss how listening to your body's signals can guide you in relationships, supported by the insights of a dating mentor who helped transform my journey. You'll also hear about resources like "My Partner Has PMDD, Now What?" that equip partners with the understanding needed to provide genuine support. This episode invites you to embrace honesty and vulnerability, fostering stronger, empathetic relationships while dispelling the stigma around expressing true emotions.
