PMS Sucks life out of me
Women's Issues / by VioletSurvival0

...See more Hello everyone, I don't know for how long I am suffering from this now, probably one year, probably two years. The truth is that I lost sense of time, and it feels like I have been suffering from severe PMS since centuries.  My symtoms are extreme and heavy up to the point where it paralaize me for two weeks, almost half of the month, or half of my life. I suffer from sever hot flashes, sleep changes, mostly it's hard to sleep even with sleeping bills. But then I find my self super sleepy and exhausted the whole day and I can't even function. My depression worsen, and I find my self into crying episodes out of no reason. Headaches that doesn't get better with bills. Back and pelvis pain, crumps, and sweats, nausea. Sometimes I feel like I am going to lose conscious. I have no energy the whole period, and I am extremly extremly tired. Mostly the period is very very light and short in comparesion to past years.  This have been affecting my daily routine, I am not even able to cook or finish small assignments for work or study. Sometimes not even to leave my bed, nor to take a bath. This makes me really frustrated becauase when my period and physical helath stands infront of my goals and dealy life routine, it just makes everything worse. I need to finish my studies, I need to gain money and I can't get abscent from work for half a month everytime. All this will improve my mental health, but it's not happening since I am restrained by my symptoms.  I have been taking Vitex agnus-castus for more than one year now, I am taking anti-depressants, sleeping pills, I even tried Acupuncture which actually helped the first month, but again this month it didn't. Also, it's expensive, I can't keep taking it constantly.  I just want to give up on everything and relax, life already hard but thus makes things harder. I would like to hear suggestions, advices or if any of you went through something similar. how did she deal with it? Thanks xoxoxo

Friends to curse with

...See more Sometimes, all you need to feel better is to have a friend who will curse those who hurt you, not for the sake of cursing, but for the sake of showing empathy, solidarity, and being thoughtful of your pain and hurt. Two months ago I fought with a friend who laughed when I shared with her a story about when I was deeply hurt by someone I loved. Later, she tried to delegitimize my anger and bitterness, by lecturing me about texting that person to blame him for what he did. This morning, I met another friend, who cared more about protecting my mental health, leading me through the healing journey, showing me my worthiness and value, and asking me to maintain my respect and dignity by never contacting a person who caused me that much hurt. Choose your friends guys, those who will fight your wars with you, not against you, those who will prioritize your mental health over being "kind and polite" with harmful people, it makes a huge difference when you are trying to collect yourself and stand on your feet.

From emotional eating to loss of Appetite
Eating Disorder Support / by VioletSurvival0

...See more Huy guys,  So I am going through something I never experienced regarding my eating disorder. I have struggled with emotinal and binge eating disorder for more than 7 years now, sometimes I gained <edit> in few months. I used to eat whenever I feel pain or lonely or hurt or in need of love, whenever I feel empty or being swoallowen by a huge black hole of despair. Sometimes I felt like I had to push food into my mouth until I suffocate myself. And it always ended up with a lot of giult, a lot of disguest with myself, and sometimes laying on my bed and feeling like I am a pile of shetty garbage.  In the last three months I experieced another kind of eating disorder that I never been into in my whole life. After the loss of someone I loved, getting to know that he is going to be married with a woman his parents chose for him; suddenly I don't feel like eating. I have no appetite at all, even twoard things I used to really like and crave, or twoard sweets that once helped me improving my mood. Even when I eat things I used to like, I don't enjoy it anymore.  I would stay the whole day without food, and I won't even feel like eating. Sometimes I feel like I am going to throw up when I am eating, I will leave the table before I finish my plate. Mostly I will have only one meal per day, rarely two, and whatever I am eating happens only to help me survive my day at work. I lost <edit> in less than three months without a diet, nor an exercise, just for loss of appetite. I have extreme stomach pain all the time, but my physical checkups are all fine. So it's not physical.  Does anyone know if it's normal to change the eating disorder type from the extreme opposite to the extreme opposite like this? BTW, for now it's not getting dangeroiuse because I am losing the <edit> I gained one year ago, but I think later this could be a problem, isn't it? Thanks if you read until here, I would like to hear what you think of this.  Best
