PMDD

Anybody know of or struggle with pmdd? I have never been diagnosed, I just recently found out what it is. I think it explains perfectly what I am going through. I am struggling soooo badly!! I feel awful. The week(ish) before I'm supposed to get my period, I am just an angry, sad person. Which is not me at all. I cry all the time, snappy with everyone, my kids😭 they don't deserve it all. I try so hard to keep calm but I still snap at them. I don't know what to do!! I need help but I can't afford to see a doctor or a therapist or whatever. I'm just ranting really. I really feel like I'm going to explode with all the emotions inside me today.. anybody else struggle with anything similar? 🥲

I have never been diagnosed with it either but now looking at it i feel like i hate it too. The day before or the day of my period i am very sad and upset like my world is falling apart. I gave birth 10 months ago so it could be PPD. I usually only feel this way right before my period or day of.
I can tell you I keep telling myself this is temporary and it will go away. I know it will go away because it always dpes and I will not let it affect my behaviour towards my baby but I lash out at my husband 😒 which is sad. But i think he understands. I am usually a happy person and everything is fine in life but i just feel like crying and sobbing. Wish I could help more but I can tell you are not alone. Many women out there feel this way.

Yep. I finally went to seek help cause I felt like I was at the end of my rope, was put on Zoloft and it’s very much so not working, and when I report back that it’s not working, the psych says it sounds like it is working. LMFAO

I’ve been seeing stuff that says pmdd can be helped by histamine inhibitors in some cases but it’s definitely a discussion to have with your health care team on if ya should give it a shot or not lol


I believe it does actually help tho, cause taking zofran for my nausea spells from my chronic illnesses does improve my mood an insane amount ( not just from like not being nauseous anymore, it Legit feels like a mood stabilizer sometimes for me)

Literally less than an hour ago I was talking to my husband about possibly talking to the doctor about it because today alone has been horrible. I feel terrible for my family because they always get the shit end of it. I feel absolutely hopeless

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

How many words

Just a quick gauge of how many words your little ones are saying at this age. I heard by 15 months it should be 5 words, are most around this mark ?
