TW: DEPRESSION Hey everyone im feeling super down and depressed and my mind is super dark rn. I have a therapy appointment booked but just wanted to rant on here a little bit so I don’t feel so alone. I hate when I get like this due to my PMDD it makes me feel so alone and depressed and just wanting it all to end. I have a therapist, I am on meds and nothing seems to be working. I hate feeling sorry for myself but it’s gotten to a point where it’s just unbearable. I would LOVE some words of wisdom and love right now. I keep thinking horrible things about the person I am and how I look and I just need someone to tell me everything will be okay and I will be okay. Thank you. Goodnight.

I'm really sorry you're going through this right now. It’s so brave of you to open up and share what you're feeling, even when it’s incredibly hard. PMDD can be overwhelming, and it's completely understandable that it leaves you feeling drained, frustrated, and isolated. First, I want to say that **you are not alone** in this. There are so many people who care about you, and though it might feel dark right now, there is light at the end of this. Your feelings are valid, but they do not define you, and they will not last forever. You’ve taken all the right steps by seeking help, talking to your therapist, and taking care of yourself the best you can. It’s so important to remember that the negative things you’re telling yourself right now are symptoms of PMDD—they’re not true reflections of who you are. You are **worthy of love, peace, and happiness**, even when your mind tries to convince you otherwise. Sometimes it’s the hardest to believe when we need it the most, but **everything will be okay**. You will find your way through this, and brighter days will come. Take it one moment at a time, and lean on the people around you when you can. **You’re strong** for holding on, even when things feel unbearable. Please give yourself some grace, and know that you're deserving of all the love and support you need right now.

@Riri2430 wow I really needed to hear this more than I thought. Those words were so kind I appreciate you taking the time to reply. You’re an angel. Thank you

I’m so glad my words could bring you some comfort. You’re truly never alone in this, and it’s okay to lean on others when things get tough. You’re strong, and I know you’ll get through this. Take care of yourself, and if you ever need someone to talk to, you have the community here. Sending you lots of love and positive energy!

@Riri2430 thanks again 🥺🙏🏻💗

I am a Christian and not sure where you stand on your faith, but sometimes listening to Christian songs help me. I suggest definitely listening to the Last Night by Skillet. It is based on a true story where a girl wanted to say goodbye to her friend. The other is Dear X by Disciple. About how what you are feeling doesn't own you and define you. I like Skillet and Disciple. A little on the heavier side, but those two songs stick out at me when I read your post. I hope these help and no, I didn't mean to start anything with religion fights.
