Symptoms of PMDD include extreme sadness, irritability, appetite changes, sleep disturbances, and suicidal ideation.
It is important to seek a diagnosis and open up to healthcare providers about your symptoms. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself and find a provider who takes your concerns seriously.
Treatment options for PMDD include medication (such as SSRIs) and nutrition changes. Paying attention to blood sugar levels and incorporating healthy fats and protein into your diet can help manage symptoms.
Navigating PMDD as a mom and content creator can be challenging, but it is important to prioritize self-care and seek support from others who understand your experience.
