Why “How Are You?” Feels Like a Personal Attack During Hell Week
In this episode, I’m bridging the gap between well-meaning support and the connection you truly need. Let’s break down a situation so many of us with PMDD can relate to: you’re in the depths of hell week, and your partner has the audacity to ask, “How are you?”
What seems like a simple, neutral question often leaves us feeling unseen, unheard, and even more alone. I’ll unpack the emotional responses this question triggers and explore how to navigate these moments with partners, friends, and loved ones.
You’ll learn:
Why “How are you?” can feel more dismissive than supportive.
How to reframe these conversations for deeper understanding and support.
Practical tips to communicate your needs and foster meaningful exchanges.
Ways to reflect on your own responses and create space for connection, even on your hardest PMDD days.
If this episode resonates with you, share it with your partner or loved ones to spark a conversation about building emotional intimacy and support during PMDD.
