Navigating the turbulent waters of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) in a relationship can be like steering through a storm, but when you've got the right partner at the helm, it can make all the difference. This episode is a heartfelt exploration into the roles partners play when PMDD is part of the relationship dynamic. Through personal stories and insights, we uncover the power of nurturing support and understanding, and the detrimental impact a narcissistic partner can have on someone with PMDD. The conversation is a candid look at the challenges faced by individuals who are used to being high-functioning and independent, yet find themselves needing to lean on a partner's care.

A partner's empathy can be a lifeline in managing PMDD, but knowing how to offer this support is key. We discuss the delicate balance between providing practical help, like arranging therapy sessions, and the vital importance of emotional understanding. The luteal phase is not a personal attack, and we dig into the life-changing realization that a partner's support is not about perfect execution, but rather about the love and care that motivates it. This episode is an encouragement to those with PMDD and their partners to appreciate the effort and intention behind each other’s actions.

Whether you're struggling with PMDD or you're the partner trying to provide support, this episode is an uplifting reminder that, together, "We got this.
