bamftastik:
I’ll never get used to the fact that, once a month, I lose the ability to trust my own mind. That I can go from 150 mph to a dead stop on the whim of some nameless chemical. That I can hate everything that I am and frak up my entire life for no reason at all.
PMDD is some SCARY. FUCKING. SHIT.
