If you’ve ever sat there thinking, “Is this PMS? Is it PMDD? Why does my brain turn into a crime scene every month?” — you’re not alone. This episode dives into the messy, blurry, very real space where PMS and PMDD overlap.
If you’ve ever wondered, ‘Is this PMS, PMDD… or am I just losing the plot?’ — this episode is your wake-up call. We’re breaking down the real difference between PMS and PMDD, why they overlap far more than the internet admits, and why minimising women’s struggles helps absolutely no one.
And yes — we’re going there:
PMDD + personal accountability.
When is PMDD a valid explanation for extreme behaviour… and when is it being used as a shield for emotional chaos, cruelty, or untreated trauma?
Anna unpacks:
•What actually differentiates PMS from PMDD (and why many women sit somewhere in the middle).
•Why we shouldn’t minimise anyone’s experience, whether mild or severe — because suffering is suffering.
•How trauma, CPTSD and past emotional neglect can intensify hormonal reactions — making PMS feel like PMDD and PMDD feel like the world ending.
•The uncomfortable truth about “PMDD as diminished responsibility.”
Anna shares her take on when PMDD genuinely dysregulates the nervous system, and when it’s used to excuse repeated, harmful or abusive behaviour.
•Compassion without self-abandonment — how to honour your hormonal reality and uphold boundaries in relationships, parenting, and your sense of self.
•Why self-awareness is the real power tool for any woman navigating a sensitive cycle, perimenopause, or trauma-linked monthly intensities.
This is an honest, nuanced, no-shame conversation for women who want to understand their bodies, their minds, and their patterns — without falling into guilt, blame, or helplessness.
