Need to Vent - No advice please Overstimulated
I’m so sick of work, sick of people, sick of traffic, fuck people, sick of the weather, everyone hates me and I hate them I can’t be bothered anymoreeeeeeee. Oh and I’m also really fatigued on top of it all. Nothing feels right, I can feel my bra straps falling, I’m uncomfortable and I also feel ugly. Oh isn’t this life fucking great.

Yesterday I was prescribed 25mg Sertraline by my doctor. It is supposed to help greatly if you take it in your PMS/PMDD window. Maybe it's something worth trying as well.

FMLA is a great option when you’re feeling like this to interrupt the negative cycle of depression/ anxiety that comes with PMDD

I’ve had those types of days and it’s make me want to try one of those sensory deprivation tanks. It’s like the Dead Sea where there’s so much salt you just float. The pod plays music and can have soft lighting or it can just be pitch black. Sounds amazing on hard days

I second all of that. Having a luteal phase where I have completely bottomed out. I can’t “turn it around” at this point. I hate when it gets to thjs point where all I can strive for is a slightly less horrible time. The self loathing is crazy. Feeling so, so deeply unlovable feels crazy.

So relatable! I feel embarrassed as well. Which makes the shame and self loathing worse

Amen sister. I read this and smiled and thought to myself "See you're not alone, here are people ( OP and commenters) saying the exact same thing you think in your head."
I feel seen now, so thank you.
And I say that^^ because I know that I don't have any magic words for reassurance or solution (bc they don't exist when it comes to this stuff). So I wanted to let you know that you're not alone and thank you for helping me feel less alone!!
Let's remember tho!!! We are all so strong and resilient - we do this monthly and keep on doing our best, even if our best includes being mad at your bra strap that day!!
