Have you ever felt angry or hurt because of something your PMDD partner said or did and it caused your stress and made your PMDD symptoms even worse?Setting healthy boundaries can help you reduce your PMDD symptoms that are magnified when you are stressed and deepen the connection within your relationshipWhen you are already in PMDD and dealing with the stress of your symptoms, adding to that stress can be detrimental to your nervous system which is why these boundaries need to be in place within your PMDD relationship. Usually, when the stress subsides, the body rebalances and we start to feel calm again. Boundaries are the guidelines we set about our expectations, availability, and energy. Because boundaries communicate how we feel, they prevent us from overcommitting or feeling resentful. They also help give others guidelines with how to treat you. They do not have to be hard, aggressive rules. Setting boundaries allows us to be transparent with our partner about how we feel, so we can have a deeper, longer, lasting relationship.  The word boundary might be interpreted as pushing someone away. It is better described as an invitation to let your partner in to learn more about you and your needs. Setting boundaries with your partner can improve the strength of your relationship. Not only are you inviting your partner to learn more about you, but you are also claiming responsibility for your emotions and how you take care of yourself. Benefits to setting healthy boundaries: Take care of mental health. Boundaries allow you to take responsibility for your emotional energy and mental health. Setting healthy boundaries can help you name your limits with your emotional energy in mind.  Give both partners a safe space to be transparent and vulnerable. Setting boundaries creates a safe container for both partners to be honest. It’s a way to grow trust and foster love.   Learn about yourself. Learning where your boundaries are is a process of tuning into your own needs.  Setting boundaries allows us to care for ourselves and remove resentment.  Follow these tips to set boundaries in your relationship: Include your partner. Let your partner know why you might be setting boundaries. Check in with their emotions. Invite your partner to learn about setting boundaries along with you.  Explore what you need. Pay attention to where you might feel resentment, guilt, or anger towards your partner. ●     What makes you feel uncomfortable?  ●     What values are important to you? Make the boundary about you and your needs. When you state a boundary, focus on you.  ●     “It was great to spend time together this weekend. I would like to decompress alone the rest of the night. Want to get lunch in a couple days?”  ●     “In order to continue this discussion, I need us to be calmer.”  ●     “I feel attacked when my point of view isn’t considered. I need a space to feel heard and understood.”  Start with thank you. If you have trouble setting boundaries, start by thanking the other person for their thoughts or requests. ●     “Thank you for wanting to spend time together, but I would like to spend some time decompressing.”  ●     “Thank you for inviting me to spend time with your family. I would like to spend some time

Today I will be teaching you “How to Keep the Peace when youre in Hell week” First lets address what Hell week is specifically. This is a term widely known in the PMDD community as the Weeks that PMDD is active in your life which is right after ovulation and leading up to your period. Essentially the symptoms do not subside until you get your period, which provides the well deserved relief from the symptoms. During Hell week your symptoms could range fromDifficulty concentratingDepressionAnxietySadnessFeeling of hopelessnessAnger or irritabilityLethargyLoss of interest in normal activitiesFood cravingsInsomnia or hypersomniaMisophonia- sensitivity to noiseSuicidal Thoughts1.   Know that your partner is going to trigger you2.   Acknowledge your triggers in regards to your partner- for me it is snoring and noises such as closing drawers and doors, something he normally does but during hell week it seems almost intentional and I get resentful because when I am suffering I just want peace and silence so every sound is like a slap in the face. My partner feels like he has to walk on eggshalls around me and when I am out of PMDD I feel bad about it.3.   Know what it feels like for you to be emotionally triggered. This is different for everyone. For me, I can feel my heart begin to race and I feel my body heat up and my jaw gets clinched. It took me time and consciousness to be able to stop myself in the moment and recognize what I was feeling and actually labling it. How you feel when you are triggered is systematic, meaning it will occur everytime you are triggered and that is your cue4.   Once you have identified that you are triggered next we will go over How to Handle Your Emotional triggers while keeping the Peace in Your relationship!
