Thoughts play a massive part in our distressing emotions. A PMDD body lies to you... It can be extremely effective to notice these thoughts, remind yourself you are a little unwell at the moment and learn how to think differently about these thoughts.
Here are some common negative thoughts and challenges for dealing with them.
I can't stand it- I can stand it. I will stand it.
I'm not good enough- I'm not perfect, just like everybody else. I'm good at somethings and not others.
Whats the point in trying?- If I don't try I won't know. Trying will broaden my experiences.
I have nothing to say- I have valid opinions, thoughts and feelings. Maybe I should practice expressing myself.
Nobody likes me- People do like me. I have had better relationships in the past and will do in the future.
Everybody else is happy- I don't know that as fact. Just because people seem busier doesn't mean they are more satisfied/happy.
I'm hopeless, I'll never sort myself out- Take one step at a time. Totally condemning myself is silly. I've been through worse than this.
I might breakdown in front of people- I have every right to be upset. People are more understanding than I perceive. There is nothing wrong with showing my emotions.
PMDD tries to kick you when you are down. Stomp on you sometimes. Get yourself ready and go to war with PMDD. Challenge the thoughts that enter your head. Remember it's the PMDD talking.
