Hey hi hey! What is up party people!?
I wrote a thing for Cosmo, I'm so excited it's finally live & I can share it with you. They made this outrageously amazing artwork for me to accompany it. Could you just cry? I could. (As my brother pointed out, diamond tears, oh so good.)
I'm so super proud to be part of Cosmo's all-periods all-the-time celebration of all of us and all our red women. Check it HERE.
(As always, the bios are the hardest parts to write. But I like how this one landed.)
Xs & Os, ya hotties.
Natalie, I wish I could take you by the shoulders, look you in the eye and say "I'm so proud of you." This essay ROCKS and it's so good to hear from you. It might not be easy to get back out there after slipping back in to anonymity, but I'm so glad that you did. I miss your writing, I miss your stories. I miss you pouring your heart on to your keyboard. Congrats on a great period essay that's so much more.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, bless you for sharing this! I've been a longtime reader of yours but it was my sister who alerted me to a new blog post from you. We were actually in NYC on vacay with my 21 year old daughter and after explaining just a bit of what your post and article were about, my daughter said, "Oh my gosh Mom, this sounds like what I'm dealing with!" And after reading your article, I'm pretty sure she may be right. She becomes a completely different person about a week before her period starts and does tend to get some relief right about day 3. I'm so glad to be able to now research this a bit more and see if some of your suggestions will help her. And also send her to the doc if need be for an official diagnosis. Thank you!
ReplyDelete!!! Sarah! !!! Thank you so much for this. I think this is exactly why I somehow always keep coming back to this space to try my best to write a thing about a thing (lol and mostly fail dramatically at it but entertainingly). Thank you for telling me this. XOXO and oh the best of luck to you both. Ovaries Before Brovaries, ladies.
DeleteYesyesyes! Thank you! I, too, struggled with PMDD for years. Thankfully, my relief always came on Day One, where I'd wake up, not even bleeding yet, and already know that I'd be starting my period that day because I was no longer bedridden with depression. And I, too, got divorced and stopped experiencing it. Not to imply that it can't exist on its own, or that an unhappy marriage can cause it, but perhaps those of us with a tendency toward PMDD are more sensitive to outside triggers during a more hormonal time of the month. Regardless, so glad we've both made it through to the other side!
