À propos de cet audio

 Please be aware that this episode contains some difficult discussions, including a discussion about suicidal thoughts. There are some links at the bottom of this description which may help if some of these themes resonate with you - and of course, we completely understand if some people feel as if they need to skip this episode.

“Chill out, are you on your period?!”

“Oh she must be due on...”

This episode is a big “GET IN THE BIN!” to all those who’ve ever dismissed our feelings as “just hormonal”. We’re here to validate those feelings and hopefully give you a better understanding of what our incredible bodies go through every month as we discuss PMS (pre menstrual syndrome) and its “satanic sibling” PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder)!

This weeks guest is PMDD sufferer and advocate Annika Waheed who bravely tells us about her (hell of a) journey to diagnosis and harrowing experiences of just how deadly this condition can be. We also have a chat about the stigma surrounding antidepressants and females being (god forbid) affected by their hormones!

As many as 1 in 20 women suffer from PMDD which is why, as always, we are so grateful to you for listening and hopefully learning a thing or two along the way, we know we have! Awareness saves lives!

If you want to drop Annika a message, or for more PMDD content, you can find her at @veni.vidi.vincens.vitae (I came, I saw, I’m conquering life) over on Instagram.

Or for more PMDD / mental health support here are some links we think could help:

https://www.pms.org.uk (National Association for Premenstrual Syndromes)

https://iapmd.org (The International Association For Premenstrual Disorders)

https://www.viciouscyclepmdd.com (Patient-led PMDD support)

https://www.mind.org.uk (General mental health and PMDD support)

https://www.samaritans.org (or call The Samaritans on 116 123)

You can also come and say hello to us and get all your monopod updates at @thevaginamonoblogs @sachalparkinson and @moflowright.

Thank you so much for listening!!
