PMDD isn’t “just bad PMS.”
It’s hormonal chaos that can turn the calmest week into emotional freefall.
Tears, rage, anxiety, despair — all in a cycle you can’t control.
In a relationship, PMDD can feel like whiplash.
One week you feel close, connected, in love.
The next, you’re questioning everything — your partner, yourself, even the relationship.
It’s not weakness. It’s not drama.
It’s your body and brain reacting to extreme hormonal shifts — and it can be devastating if it’s misunderstood.
I’ve seen couples torn apart because neither partner realised what was really happening.
And I’ve seen couples grow stronger once they learned to spot the signs and respond with empathy instead of blame.
If this sounds familiar, please know — you’re not broken, and your relationship isn’t doomed.
You just need understanding, support, and sometimes medical help.
Getting help for PMDD isn’t just self-care.
It’s relationship care.
🩵 At EOS Counselling & Psychotherapy, we help couples understand how hormones, stress and emotional cycles can shape connection — and how to rebuild closeness through it.
