Just watched the pilot, already in love
Ok I LOVE the pilot so much I’m so HOOKED
The thing about PMDD that makes it so much worse then having just general depression or anxiety is how invalidating it feels.
Knowing that a sudden onslaught of negative thoughts or paranoid feelings is only occurring because of your period makes it really hard to be understanding or to reframe the thinking. A typical way of dealing with depression or anxiety is finding the root of the problem and reworking how one thinks but when those feelings are just something your body goes through because of hormones and there genuinely is no cause what are you meant to do then?
Plus, how do you even begin to explain that feeling to other people? If you admit how your feeling it’s not like anyone can actually help you, they can make things a little easier maybe but the feelings are always going to return every single month and there is absolutely no way to explain why you feel off unless you’re willing to tell someone it’s your period, and even then saying “my period is messing me up” isn’t going to actually get you sympathy or help. Other people who menstruate may say “oh I get that!” And joke a bit about how much it sucks but they don’t actually get how awful it is when you have PMDD, it’s not the same as a normal period. Most people don’t suddenly fall into a severe depression once a month because of their fucking period.
My point, I guess, is that having PMDD is both invalidating and isolating. It’s the sort of thing that can make you feel really hopeless sometimes because it’s never going to go away, you’re only option is to try and lessen it and push through it.
I could fix so many lives by having people that complain about “manga” (but they are actually complaining about shonen) and “anime” (but they are actually complaining about shonen) and “Japan” (their sole exposure to the culture of the country is shonen) listen to me and read some good Anything Other Than Shonen Instead, such as Seinen, Josei, or Anything That’s Not Shonen.
