This is my story  

On this page, we feature stories of different people who have experienced mental health issues in different forms. It may be from a person suffering from a mental health illness, a carer or support worker, a member of the family or friend, or it could be a professional. The aim is for people to tell their stories from their point of view and how their experiences have impacted on their lives. We believe that sharing stories with others can be both empowering for the individual sharing as well as inducing an affinity with others who may be going through the same experiences, but feel isolated and alone. Hearing others share about similar experiences can prove to be an empowering experience for them, too.

Most women, in the lead up to their periods, will experience anything from mood swings to tiredness to feeling upset. These are symptoms of PMS or Premenstrual Syndrome and it affects 3 out of 4 women. However, imagine these symptoms were felt in extreme, making it difficult to even get through the day. This is what it’s like for those living with PMDD.
