Preparing for Doomsday Every Month | Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder

Think PMS makes you a little cranky? That's cute. This week, we're diving headfirst into its evil, unhinged cousin: Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, or PMDD. Our guest Julia describes it as preparing for "doomsday" every single month —a two-week cycle where her brain basically turns into a rage-filled, paranoid monster that, among other things, absolutely hates her husband. This isn't just about mood swings; it's a full-blown psychiatric disorder that comes with a terrifying risk of suicidal thoughts and makes just getting through the day a monumental task. Julia walks us through the whole experience, from getting diagnosed thanks to her running watch (seriously) , to considering the most metal solution possible: having her ovaries surgically removed. Spoiler: her doctors weren't exactly thrilled with the idea. Strap in for a wild, raw, and surprisingly funny look at a condition that proves hormones are not to be trifled with.Sickboy LIVE in Calgary!Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord.
