PMDD and Me
Welcome to PMDD and Me!
I'm Millie, a 21-year-old Media student living in Brighton. An aspiring journalist in the investigative field, Monsters Inc enthusiast and PMDD sufferer.
I want to use my tiny corner of the internet to destigmatize the period taboo. To stress the importance of societies awareness of the debilitating and all-encompassing symptoms of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and to allow those diagnosed, awaiting diagnosis or wanting to find out more, a place to feel seen, to be heard, to relate, to vent and to learn.
