Thank you so much for sharing this ❣️ As someone who has Autism, ADHD also as well as PMDD (yet to get a formal diagnosis), can any of you lovely ladies suggest any supplements or treatment here? Thanks in advance! Keep speaking out 🗣️ we are all warriors for what we go through each month. 💪🏼

I walked a very similar path with my menstruation, pregnancies, and births. Hospitalized for post-partum depression. Even today almost 30 years later and I can't take the usual medications so whatever psycho dynamics went down I have to deal with them.

Hi, I'm on the Autism spectrum, and for a long time, I thought I might have PMDD too. I have been taking birth control pills for the last 10 years, to help with my hormonal moodiness. I can't say that my hormonal moodiness has completely disappeared, but it is not as bad as it was before. Before, I would want to cry or flip out on people, and I couldn't control it. I know that is totally not like me, AT ALL!

Thank you! I was wondering if there is someone neurodivergent who experiences this like me

@nuerodiverging do you mind sharing what the name of the SSRI that was successful for treating the PMDD?

@lakritzeslena Жыл бұрын

Thats a common autistic reaction to SSRIs? Whoa, I have ADHD and pmdd (and asume i also am autistic) and fall asleep when taking SSRIs. So funny, but i cant take them. Thank you so much for your informations and for talking about it.

My doctor has said that sometimes sleepiness is a reaction to an SSRI dose that is too high. Anecdotally, I've had a lot of autistic and/or ADHD coaching clients report sleepiness as a side effect of their SSRIs, though they often had success finding something that worked after a couple of tries. I haven't found any research on it, though! I'm glad the episode helped :)

@@neurodiverging after years of taking an Mao inhibitor for my anxiety and such my doctor said something about it being activating, as for me it clearly was soothing and more dampening. That was quite funny

Isn't this also caused by EDS? It is a common chronical illness among neurodivergent people. EDS patients also have problems with medication and blooding, pain, anxiety and depression

I stopped the video and discontinued watching when I kept hearing "people" who menstruate. It's *women* and women only.

@M1NDCR4WL3R 3 ай бұрын

There are nonbinary and transpeople with uteruses who menstruate.

@@M1NDCR4WL3R those women who label themselves as non-binary and trans, are still women. Biological sex is what makes us male or female, and is upheld by the law. How a person feels about themselves, does not change the facts of who they are are biologically. I respect that some people feel differently to their biological sex, but that biological sex is still the reality of who that person is. A person who fights against their biological sex, is not likely to find the peace and contentment they are looking for.
