Thank you for sharing! I hadn't considered how neurodivergence affects things like this until very recently, and I need to do a lot more research! I'm glad you found my post helpful :)
Thank you for this! I was diagnosed with PMDD several years ago, and it felt like a crappy label, but it fit. I’d get maybe two decent weeks each month, the other two were a mess of bloat and rage. That 90% stat about autistic women blows my mind! Makes me feel less alone in it, honestly. I had a hysterectomy two years ago, and now I’ve got four fabulous weeks every month — no more rage, no more bloat.
I’m so glad you’re talking about this. It needs way more attention.
So glad you got yours sorted out Ang, even though a hysterectomy is such an invasive procedure... I have PCOS/endometriosis so that plays into PMDD too. I'm trying to use natural options to heal the underlying inflammation which causes hormonal imbalances.
It would be great to hear your side of the PMDD story if you write about it one day :)
Hi Nick! Thanks for commenting :) I'm so glad there are people like you - and especially men! - who are talking about this. Considering that most people are employed in some capacity, women's menstrual health needs to be a bigger topic of conversation in the workplace. Info-dump appreciated 😄 and I'm glad you enjoyed this post.
Thank you for sharing this. What got me on Substack in the first place was having a similar experience. A couple of research papers helped me understand how the menstrual cycle affects ADHD, which I found really validating. I tried to write about it here if you’d be interested: https://open.substack.com/pub/themerchantsdaughter/p/your-adhd-meds-dont-work-might-be?r=1yxv70&utm_medium=ios
