Daily Journal #2
October 17, 2018
Second full day not on the pill. Yesterday was fine. PMDD kicked in pretty hard today though. Slept in, wanted to sleep more. Body felt heavy and drained. Good thing Ralph brought me some Advil to take for the pain. My day off so the plan was to take it easy. I was really hoping to get some work done but that didn’t happen. Went to the pharmacy to pick up the rest of my birth control pills. Something got missed on their end and I ended up waiting there for almost an hour and a half. I was getting impatient and felt terrible for my dogs, since I had them with me and they were in the car. I had a break down and cried. Felt miserable. So once I finally received the pills, went home and slept some more. As miserable as I felt, not the worst that I have been and it was my day off so I didn’t need to be out in the world today. (Except to pick up my birth control pills which is medicine to me and I could not go another day without it.)

Daily Journal #1
I started this blog to document and to share my story. I was hit with FEAR and worry about HOW to tell my story. I love to write but I also worry that I didn’t have enough to write. I worried about what exactly to write and how to deliver it and what you would think.
E N O U G H.
You guys, I am about to hit 1 year of being officially diagnosed with PMDD. I survived another year and have learned a whole lot more. I realize I want to SPREAD AWARENESS and the best way I think I can do that is to share more without letting fear paralyze me.
So here is the start of my Daily Journal for all of you to read. I’m going to share a little piece that sums up my day and provides a little glimpse into my world every single day. Because soooo many of you haven’t heard of PMDD before and may not understand what it may look like. It’s even difficult for me to explain my experience, so come on this ride with me and let’s explore. It’s always better with good company and don’t forget to check back every night for my daily update.
DAILY JOURNAL ENTRY #1
October 16, 2018
I’ve already had a tiring weekend and now a long workday. I ran out of birth control pills a day ago and do not get my refill until tomorrow. Surprisingly, I am doing really good today. No crazy emotions, good mood. Almost too good of a day. So I am a little scared about my emotional state for tomorrow. Good thing it’s my day off.
