Thank you so much for this video and all your videos for that matter. I've struggled with PMDD all my life. I'm 40 now. I've been misdiagnosed by so many doctors throughout my life, but I've always knew I had PMDD but didn't know it had a name. It really impacts my life. I'm a mom and a pursuing musician and it greatly impacts me but I'm now learning to manage it and like you said in this video, live with it. Really learning to accept my diagnosis and not fight it anymore, because that makes it worse. The shame and guilt is real, but now I"m letting that go. This diagnosis is not my fault. Anyway, I appreciate you, thank you! Love to you from a sista!

I don't know if mine's PMS or PMDD. All I know is that one half of the month, I'm the happiest person. The other half, everything hits. I'm very sad, just want to be alone, confused, doing the most not so sensible things and regretting it, getting unnecessarily angry and... I know stress makes things even worse. I don't think I'm okay.

Hi Elizabeth, I was wondering if there are any somatic psychology masters you would recommend?

Hi Elizabeth - what is the pendent that you're wearing around you neck? :)

l watched 10 minutes and was so impressed l just couldn't wait to send your link to my darling daughter who is 25 and struggles with what could possibly be PMDD, she has so many of the symptoms. She was diagnosed 2 years ago with borderline personality disorder.....But l have my suspicions there may be a link to her cycle. Thankyou for sharing your own experience and wisdom, and helpful strategies. l feel your work could really help not only people with PMDd but their loved ones. l even feel some relief after hearing such well articulated, honest, real life account and lm not the one suffering. ❤Thankyou from Australia 😊

Seriously. This is basically word for word exactly what I go through every month. I've also had PMDD my entire life and I'm on a similar self-care journey. Gotta manage it or it will rock your world.

Have you tried taking wild yam capsules 2 weeks before your period? I'm trying it out right now!

Thank you so much for your insight and sharing your experience. It has really helped me not feel alone. I also am trying to deal with it without using medication

I think we all struggling like Elizabeth, we have a very high level of empathy.

Wow.. thanks ..

I feel like you are describing my life. I have PMDD, adhd and complex ptsd. I am also highly sensitive and feel like an exposed nerve much of the time. I wonder if you are also intuitive/psychic.

Hi, I’m wondering how long did finding that place where he “gets you” and asks in this gentle way how you are or how is your pmdd…. How long did it take to perfect this? Is he able to maintain this every month? Do you juggle kids? I don’t mean to be rude, but the way you describe things, it all seems so calm. That is so far from my life, lol Especially adding children , who have their own issues. …. A space to strive for definitely! 🏝️

Your sensitivity and sweetness is such a powerful gift. You have a unique capacity as a therapist, your authenticity is so calming and genuine. I love how open you are about your own journey and aren't afraid to be vulnerable in sharing your healing journey with us. I haven't watched a video of yours yet that hasn't resonated with me on some level. I am grateful I found your channel!!!

Ouch. This is definitely what I have been avoiding acknowledging, respecting.

Thank you for what you are sharing. It feels so applicable and empowering. Grateful to have you join my world of mentors

JUST NEEDED TO THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!!! Question if I may … What if I have PMDD and high functioning depression ? I’m about to talk to a therapist for the first time in a while. I don’t think I want to be on medication either because of my reaction to it in the past. Are there any women out there that think they have both PMDD and high functioning (general) depression? And how many of those women are also in a relationship with a depressed partner ? (Also high functioning general depression)? I mean I’M FUCKED 😂 !!!! But really. Anyone else ?!! Thank you, Laurie

FOLLOW YOUR JOY AND JOY IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. AT THE BEGINNING I WAS RESISTANT TO BEING TRAUMA THERPIST, I DIDN’T THINK THIS IS WHERE I AM GOING TO END UP. BUT BY FOLLOWING MY JOY, READING THE THINGS THAT I FOUND INTERESTING, CONNECTING TO THE PEOPLE THAT I FOUND INTERESTING, LISTENING TO THAT THING DEEP INSIDE OF ME THAT WENT: “UUH WOW”. I FOUND MYSELF HERE. IF YOU CAN LISTEN TO THAT PART DEEP INSIDE YOU THAT GOES: “UU”, - THE CURIOUS PART, BECAUSE THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO THE JOY AND I THINK JOY LEADS US TO A PURPOSE.

I didn't realized that I lost my jobs in the past d/t pmdd.

Hi Elizabeth, I was wondering if you could recommend any medicinal plants for PMDD? I recently got off birth control and am experiencing symptoms but find relief in CBD.

Anybody tried birth control pills for this?

How can you handle work and life with it? I have Pmdd and I really don’t want any medicine but I am hurting financially because of adhd and pmdd cycle- help?

Thank you for speaking about this I found out recently about my own pmdd, adhd and cptsd diagnosis and it’s been difficult and a grieving process. I connected with your story nd how sometimes it good soo bad certain months that it felt too painful to go through, I don’t have much support as I damaged and ended most of my close relationships last year because of the pain I released that I did not realize when I went to therapy for the first time really. You are the first person I found that has two of the same diagnosis. I have been listening to your podcast and on RUclips interviews you’ve done. Thank you!!! When no one understands me, I feel so much better connecting even so with you through your videos. Please continue to speak about this as many people even in my circle do not understand that it can literally make us feel crazy and I’ve been labelled paranoid by family members so it’s hurtful to be seen as mentally ill and crazy

Thank you so much for this and your work generally! Just found through Forrest Hanson interview and really resonating with your content. Your experience is very different but also similar, and finding a mix of good ideas from what resonates, and courage from what doesn't, as it validates how diverse our experiences can be 🙏

Thank you for this video. I was diagnosed a couple years ago with bipolar 2 but I've been considering whether its PMDD and PTSD instead. I resonate much more with people who talk about those things than I do with bipolar.

What a video! You gave me hope❤. THANKS A LOT!!!!

PMDD is the most debilitating and lonely struggle that I have gone through so far in my 25 years of life. I have ADHD as well so it’s just very very difficult in general. I have two good weeks and then two weeks of utter misery: my system just completely shuts down and my body genuinely cannot deal with life anymore. The days leading up to my period and even at the onset of my period, I stop washing my face, brushing my teeth, taking a shower. I just keep SLEEPING. Even when I’m awake I just keep thinking about sleeping. Excessive sleep is most likely my body’s way of coping with PMDD episodes. It’s a very scary thing. I truly feel I can never be a fully functioning and participating individual in society with this illness.

This has really opened my eyes. I have been suffering from this for 30 years. I have been told I'm crazy, that I'm difficult, that I will never get better. I have pushed so many people away because of this "Dragon". Holy shit, this is so amazing to finally have an answer. Thank you so so much. I have 2 daughters that are fallowing me in this ugly darkness. I can now help and guide them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤

Thank you for the content it was very helpful but why do you use hypnosis to be effective lol im like please talk faster adhd here

News check you don’t have pmdd

I'm a minute in and i'm noticing your energy is already helping me

What amazes me is that you talk about these things of yourself in front of your partner

AI am going through an inner critic experience with going back to school at 40 - I have such issues around chronic freeze and cPTSD that I asked for neurodivergent advisors out of wanting to help myself, and was met with confusion. The inner critic doesn’t want to be met with confusion upon asking for help. I appreciate your authenticity.

Oh my God, you don’t know how well this video made me feel. I am about three years into my spiritual journey, and this has to be the least spiritual connection that I feel when I am in a hell week. Even just watching your video, I was still very skeptical and cynical thinking, but continuing to watch helped leap out that higher conscious mind and I broke into tears because everything that you talked about resonated with me

Fellow witchy therapist here! I would love to see you pick up videos again 🥰

Has anyone tried SSRIs or birth control to manage their PMDD? I've always been concerned of the side effects and if it'll have a numbing effect or impact intuition/sense of self, but finally open to explore either one, would love to find out which has worked best for you?

You’ve been revolutionary in helping me tune into somatic options. And it’s been about a year since I watched your story - in that time I have warmed up to body scans and it was just a helpful real story to hear. Thank you.

You are so on point! ❤

“you’re not lazy and weak, and *there’s no way for you to think your way out of this* “🎯 that’s the biggest part for me. not being able to think my way out of it or tough my way through it like I can with everything else. it makes you feel helpless, hopeless. ❤

Hi! I just found your channel and love your approach to therapy and spirituality. I would love to see some newer content!

I know exactly what your talking about really hard to explain you must be experiencing what your explaining to understand!

I’ve almost ruined my marriage. I was just diagnosed at age 37 after suffering for probably 15 years. We’ve been married for 18 years. I had no idea what was happening each month. It was very bad at one point. I have so much guilt and shame. I’m surprised my husband is still with me but very thankful. Now that I know I am willing to do whatever it takes to not hurt him anymore. This disorder is horrendous. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

Thank you for this video. All my self work has been leading up to this video. I had a moment the other day with a tree, where I felt as if I sprouted from the ground and had roots! It was amazing! PMDD has ruined so many things 😪. But the divine feminine has come to clear the demon. Much love Sister. ❤️

Thank you so much 💓

so much sweetness, authenticity, gentleness, and competence in a young professional to witness.... it's a delight, making my heart smile :). Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing yourself so vulnerably with us. It's truly insightful and useful to watch, apart from filling myself up with relaxation, mindfulness and joy :)

I’m so grateful I found your channel. I appreciate you and your videos, thank you for sharing this. Helps me feel less alone ❤️

Thank you for not cutting out those moments, you lose concentration, I call it period brain fog. I’ve been dealing with PMDD for years and I get this ALL the time! It’s good to show the world exactly what we experience, thank you 💛

Thank you! I have CPtSD as well and I’m also sensitive and have struggled with this for years. Thankfully I’m finally accepting how I am and moving away from ppl who make me feel less. Oh how fun I have PMDD also.
