Ever felt misunderstood or manipulated in a relationship while struggling with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)? You aren't alone. This episode unravels the complex world of narcissism within PMDD relationships, pulling from personal experiences and providing guidance to help navigate these tumultuous waters. We unfold the various signs of a narcissistic partner, from an inflated sense of self-importance to manipulation and gaslighting, and offer valuable tools to combat these damaging behaviours.

The episode doesn't shy away from the devastating effects of narcissism on the physical and mental well-being of those dealing with PMDD.

But it's not all gloom and doom. We also offer hope, acknowledging the challenges of breaking free from a narcissistic relationship and emphasizing the importance of intervention and recognition of common narcissistic traits. We delve into how PMDD can make individuals more vulnerable to narcissistic partners and stress the importance of seeking help to break free from such toxic relationships. Join us as we journey towards healing and recovery from the trauma of a PMDD-narcissist relationship.
