CONTENT WARNING. We touch upon suicide, eating disorders and self-harm. Our guest will talk about her lived experiences, and signposting to charities for support. Please visit your healthcare provider if you are concerned about any issues relating to this topic. 

This podcast was recorded as an Instagram Live.

For years, Amani battled with anxiety, rage, suicidal thoughts and attempts, which she attributed to severe CPTSD and the other symptoms she experienced were attributed to endometriosis and adenomyosis.

The turning point arrived after being put into chemical menopause while waiting for a hysterectomy. The suicidal thoughts disappeared, Amani instantly felt better, and that is when she discovered that she had been living with PMDD.

Amani talks about the treatments she had, implantable estrogen and the importance of community.
