Urgh the Pmdd chat has wound me right up - as well as the ‘struggle with depression’ comment. Fuck off - and when you get there, fuck off some more. She wouldn’t know PMDD if it bit her fat arse. She’s suffering PMT, like millions of women do.
This has really fucked me off. As someone who suffers with actual PMDD it is so infuriating to have Charpaldi - who has clearly just got a bit of PMS - think this is a bandwagon worth jumping on.
It's not some trend, some badge of honor worth aiming for. It's brutal, it's 2 weeks a month where you feel genuinely suicidal. Even though you know every month that it will pass, it doesn't make it easier, you still feel like the world would be better without you. You don't have the energy or inclination to get up and do a full face of makeup. You don't want to plaster your "sads" all over the internet for klout. You cancel all your plans because you can't face going out in the world. You would rather be dead that feel the aching inside you that tells you thay you are a complete and utter failure, at everything. And it's every. damn. month. Sure, some months are worse than others, but it's cyclical - you don't have some months where you're fine. That, Our Charl, is PMS.
Sorry to rant. Just can't stand that she thinks this is a badge of honour that she wants or deserves. It's not. It's debilitating and something I'd never wish on anyone.
