PMDD, Trauma & Suicidal Thoughts: What No One Explains

Описание: PMDD and trauma are more connected than most people realise.

For many women, PMDD doesn’t feel like “mood swings.” It feels like a veil of darkness... a shift in perception, a loss of access to hope, meaning, and emotional safety.

In this video, I share my story of living with PMDD, experiencing suicidal ideation, becoming a hormone researcher, and discovering something that changed everything:

Hormones don’t create trauma.
They amplify threat perception in a nervous system that has already learned to expect danger.

When you understand that interaction (trauma × hormones × nervous system learning) self-blame begins to dissolve.

Later, through trauma-informed work grounded in memory reconsolidation, I experienced emotional triggers updating at the root. Not through willpower. Through biology.

I now study cyclical hormones and the nervous system because women deserve better science, better data, and better understanding.

If you’ve ever felt broken because of your cycle, I hope this helps you feel less alone.

You are not broken.
Your nervous system makes sense in context.
