Скачать или смотреть Beki - “It Wasn’t Just PMS”: Living With PMDD, Rage, & Relief

This week on the Suicide Sucks podcast, I sat down with @Beki, who opened up about her journey with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) — something many women live with but don’t have a name for.
👉 In this raw, honest chat, Beki talks about:
💬 The darkest day that scared her into seeking help
💬 Being told “it’s just PMS” (spoiler: it wasn’t)
💬 Finally being listened to and diagnosed with PMDD
💬 Using luteal-phase fluoxetine and tracking her cycle to regain control
💬 How she and her husband now plan life around her wellbeing
💬 The power of honesty, voice notes, and even talking to “Peter” (her AI chat buddy) when things get tough
This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought, “What’s wrong with me?” — you’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.
