In today's episode, Heidi shares why her February was rough because of PMDD. Along the way and at the end she shares things that helped her (and will help YOU!) deal with tough times regarding PMDD.
Why it was rough:
1. PMDD symptoms hit earlier than expected
2. Period arrived 4 days early
3. More PMDD symptoms after her period
4. Sinus infection
5. Celebrating two birthdays
6. A poor night's sleep
Things that help in tough times:
1. Recognize it could be PMDD symptoms flaring up
2. Write factual things down... I did this. I didn't do this. (Example: I took a shower. I stayed in bed.)
3. Write feelings but don't dwell on the negative or dark.
4. Make conscious choices. If research is needed, only research for a SHORT amount of time. (Example: Heidi looked up if she could take Sudafed while taking fluoxetine.)
5. Keep committments and DON'T add more at this time.
6. Ask for help (Heidi asked her daughter to decorate her son's cake.)
7. Rest
8. Exercise
