As someone who isn't a woman but has a period: I don't get them when I'm on my HRT. So im thankful for that. But when I'm off it long enough to get one the week following I'm a complete mess. I become much more sensitive to anything abandonment related. I also cry literally everyday the week or so before.

Yes, I just got diagnosed with PMDD and I’m having a total hysterectomy because it exacerbates my BPD sooo much. I can’t wait to get it taken out.
