I Masked For So Long I Had Complete Burnout: Lily Rose Winter

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to never miss an episode of It’s Not Just A Period Podcast and to keep up to date with Alexandra’s Vlogs. Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period! This week Alexandra is joined by Lily Rose Winter to discuss the relationship between PMDD, autism, and ADHD, and the huge impacts these have on her daily life. Lily reflects on her long and often frustrating journey to diagnosis, the ways neurodivergence has shaped her identity and relationships, and how PMDD intensifies her feelings of guilt, shame, and emotional overwhelm. Together, they discuss how coping mechanisms can become dark and destructive, the impact of long term masking on mental health and why getting the correct diagnosis is so important. This conversation highlights the complex relationship between PMDD and neurodivergence, it's a conversation for anyone who’s ever felt dismissed, misunderstood, or told they were “too much”.
