My Story
I just finished my first winter season without seasonal depression. In June 2024, I met with a therapist after a year of feeling… off. I was no longer depressed–at least not in the way I used to be (I’d been previously diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder). But I also wasn’t okay. Some days I’d wonder if I was bipolar. Other days I’d feel completely fine. It was confusing, exhausting, and honestly terrifying.
After a few assessments and long discussion she diagnosed me with Pre-menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). I was relieved to have a name for what I was experiencing, escatic I was no longer diagnosed with MDD or GAD, yet worried and confused as to what PMDD is.
After further communication with my therapist, I decided to look into a holistic route first. I previously heard about cycle syncing when it became a Tiktok trend but wrote it off as another wellness gimmick. I found myself looking into more after learning that PMDD typically shows its symptoms during the luteal phase. However, instead of going about this the ‘trendy’ way, I decided I would do this my way.
It wasn’t overnight. But as I went through this journey, eventually severely decrease my PMDD symptoms and helped me go from having 3 good days per month to most days being ‘good’. Between the stabilized moods, lighter and shorter periods, decrease in cravings…I finally felt that I was having control over my life. I finally felt the closest to harmony in my life, than I ever did. This is what Harmonious Elevations was created from.
