I Have PMDD/PME

It is PMDD Awareness Month. I’ve pledged to do what I can to spread awareness because I, myself, suffer from it and wish I had known sooner.

My symptoms drastically worsened a year after I had my daughter, Luna.

It was my husband, Tim, who brought this disorder to my attention. He believed me, did not dismiss me, and took the time to research on my behalf during a time that I felt hopeless and incapable of doing normal daily activities. And, yes, during a time where words like “I want to die” would come tumbling out of my mouth.

Please read on, and save someone’s life just by bringing this disorder to their attention.

Knowing about PMDD has changed my life for the better. I’m still struggling, but with therapy and medication, I finally feel like I have a piece of my old self back.

PMDD stands for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. And those with underlying mental health issues, may suffer from PME (Pre-menstrual Exacerbation).

All through my menstruating years, I was told that my PMS symptoms were normal. This meant that my symptoms were swept under the rug and dismissed by others and myself.

PMDD is NOT PMS.

PMDD is NOT a hormone imbalance.

PMDD IS “a cyclical, hormone-based mood disorder with symptoms arising during the premenstrual, or luteal phase of the menstrual cycle... It affects an estimated 5.5% of women and AFAB individuals of reproductive age.

PMDD IS a severe negative reaction in the brain to the natural rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone. It is a suspected cellular disorder in the brain. Symptoms can worsen over time and or around reproductive events such as menarche (the first menstrual cycle), pregnancy, birth, miscarriage, and perimenopause.

Those with PMDD are at increased risk for suicide and suicidal behavior.” - IamPMD.org

I implore everyone to go to the website above and take a self screening test, even if it’s on behalf of a loved one.

I can’t stress enough how important it is. Someone you love right now could be in such a state of hopelessness and ready to do whatever it takes to end it.

The next time you think your daughter or your wife or your sister or a friend is being “over emotional, overdramatic, ‘just’ PMSing,” please think twice and check in with them. Really check in with them, because what you see on the surface is nothing compared to what that person is suffering within.

Today is the end of exclusivity of @days-of-their-lives-zine and I can share my short fancomic about Crowley, the softiest of softies. 

When I saw this old olive monster tree, I got the idea of its origin - the olive branch. And who knows which particular creature can helped that little twig to grow its first roots? Because I very much know which one. And I bet one clever angel knew it at spot as well.

Biggest thanks to @elfontheshelves for writting letter from mysterious A. You are my savior! (click for better quality)

Do you ever think you'll stop drawing fanart? No offense it just seems like the kind of thing you're supposed to grow out of. I'm just curious what your plans/goals are since it isn't exactly an art form that people take seriously.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.

Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it’s shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it’s pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it’s wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they’re not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.

That’s the art you mean, right?

Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.

No long to see some Good Omens art there! After veeery long time (It feels like eternity) I finally drew a proper drawing, did a  DTIYS by amazing @blondivae 

Anybody who haven’t seen her comic Sound of Omens yet, do it now, you won’t regret. The amount of details, beautiful lines, face expresions, architecture and background - such a brilliant art skills. 

(please ignore Azi’s shoes, I can’t draw shoes. Or hat. Oh boy, that hat almost caused my death.)

You can see it, the look at love of his life.

(I can't choose one, I can't.)

Small animation from Good Omens that I've made recently. I really wanted to post it sooner, but i took me two weeks to finish it. I've made 3 versions, because i couldn't decide which one looks the best.

If anyone is interested, whole animation was made in Clip Studio Paint. I hope you enjoy ❤️

Heya! Here is my second contribution to Reverse Bang! It was an amazing journey and I’m so so so SO happy and grateful for @zadusk to give my art chance and wrote what they wrote. We will post at Monday 15th (I add the link to AO3 later) and you are all welcomed to read first chapter of In My Veins.

Andrew Belle is very recommended to listen.

Time's up! If someone ask me what would I do after a year since I assigned to Reverse Bang, I would probably never guess what come from it. Not a single sketch, but a whole bunch of works, and the most glorious things - a beautiful heartwarming story and a dear friend, @elfontheshelves​

I’m so so fucking glad and happy you choose my sketch. I will never believe it would be a begining of a long night talks, so much laughing and ploting, talking about nothing and everything. Thank you, for you being you, for challening me, for patience, for lovely words and praise, for our boys, for everything 💗

For the record, Reverse Bang was an event organized by DIWS, where artists submitted their sketches and writers picked one of them and wrote story inspired by that artwork. My draft was that scene from first chapter ^^ After that we decided to continue working together and here we are, after a year the very last chapter.
