Out of Interest (sort of PMDD related I guess?)

[dollpart]

I've heard of PMDD but does anyone get euphoric before their period? I ask because I'm bipolar and get very creative, happy etc, then crash... as a teen it would make me literally suicidal, then I learned to utilise the uppy bit... and wondered if this is a hormonal/cyclical thing (I am obviously used to cycles...)

I do, for about a day or so, usually a week before, then, like you, I crash. But for me it's not a Bipolar related thing at all [my difficulties are depression and relational trauma stuff], it's actually my creative femininity shining through. I have PMDD style symptoms most months - extra paranoid, crabby, tearful, suicidal. Plus the physical PMS issues. Though with all the awareness I have now I am managing it better. I've been told that my hormones are normal, I am 'just' extra sensitive to them. Not sure if that info helps at all.

Thanks! SOrry for the delayed response... been healing a bit
