Giving thanks to Paul Hardcastle for all the music. This year I couldn't stop listening to Blew My Mind Ibiza Mix. #SpotifyWrapped

#Panicattacks can be caused by increasing anxiety due to #pmdd #perimenopause and #menopause Of you already have an #anxietydisorder or #depression it's worse.

[life_with_autism_ADHD @Shannonlm75]

People really need to #educate themselves about #pmdd and #perimenopause and #menopause Too many professionals know too little about it and what it does to a person going through it. It's not very reassuring that Dr,etc dismiss it because they don't get it.

I guess people can gaslight and not even know it. It's a shame when someone you know makes you doubt your words or your grammer and make you feel dumb. #gaslight #gaslighting #toxicrelationship #texting #textlighting

@autisticcardiff It's the only one I can tolerate. Anti medication people need to stop the taboo. I'm for both natural and pharmaceutical treatments. I already tried naturalpathic. Did not help enough.

@samuellatics I'm on 100mg. Helping quite a bit for me. I just expect to feel better before my breakdown happened.

[life_with_autism_ADHD @Shannonlm75]

#Sertraline is helping. Lowers my appetite but better mentally then where I was.

Sleep is so important. Getting enough of it also. There are some drug-free options like taking a melatonin supplement or drinking herbal tea before bed to aid in sleep. There are hundreds of flavors with or without melatonin that have other relaxing natural ingredients.

I want good healthcare. Not "okay, see you in a year." And just leave me hanging. Not fixing the problem or telling me the next step.

[life_with_autism_ADHD @Shannonlm75]

I don't understand doctors these days. Especially specialists. They barely make eye contact, speak in a monotone and don't smile. They type in all this stuff on the computer while NOT giving the patient full attention. This keeps happening to me. Get some bedside manners. 😬🤔

I hate living with #pmdd 3 weeks out of the month. Plus #perimenopause hitting me too. So really nothing goes away for long.

[life_with_autism_ADHD @Shannonlm75]

Let's stop dismissing #pmdd !

[life_with_autism_ADHD @Shannonlm75]

@ADDitudeMag Like mine is too. Inside.

[life_with_autism_ADHD @Shannonlm75]

By all means, make sure you are getting balanced meals. If I don't my mental health is worse. I can't always eat because of appetite issues but I noticed the anxiety is down a bit and other symptoms.

Many of the strategies that support neurodivergent people also work for neurotypicals. The WAY they work for them may not how they work for us, however.

Don't hold yourself to neurotypical standards. Modify your tools so they work for you. Who cares if anyone else understands

Other mental conditions are bad but self harm or SI is just as serious.

[life_with_autism_ADHD @Shannonlm75]

When I was in the ER over night last week it was noisy. I thought earplugs w/help. One doctor was ignorant. Minimized my mental condition. Thought earplugs was a luxury item and implied sicker ppl need the ER. #stigma #SuicidePrevention S.I. is a symptom of being mentally unwell
