#45: PMS or PMDD? Why You Might Feel Like a Different Person Every Month
Manage episode 481292314 series 3644587
If you’ve ever felt like your period turns you into a different person every month, more anxious, more irritable, more emotional you’re not imagining it. And you’re not broken.
In this third episode of our 4-part Womanhood Through the Ages series, we’re talking about something that impacts far more women than most people realise, but hardly anyone’s talking about it properly: the difference between PMS and PMDD.
Nichole is joined again by hormone health expert Lorna Driver-Davies to unpack the emotional weight so many women carry around their cycles. The outbursts that don’t feel like you. The low moods you can’t explain. The days where your relationships suffer and even getting through the day feels too hard.
This isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about real hormone shifts happening in the brain and body ones that can completely change the way you think, feel, and connect with others. And the more we understand what’s going on, the more we can support ourselves and the people we love.
This episode is raw, honest, and filled with practical ways to get the support you deserve, because no woman should feel like she’s surviving her own body every month.
If you’ve ever found yourself counting down the days, bracing for the next wave, or wondering, “Is this normal?” please, listen to this. It could change everything.
