このコンテンツについて
Welcome back to The Monthly Truth - the conversation no one is having, but everyone needs to hear.
This week, we're joined by the brilliant Lydia Donaldson, co-founder of Not Ovaryacting. Lydia opens up about her journey with PMDD - from years of being misdiagnosed and dismissed, to hitting rock bottom and making the brave decision to section herself, to finally getting a diagnosis that made it all make sense.
She talks about the role of trauma, her experience with chronic illness, navigating the messiness of trial-and-error treatments, and how she’s now finding stability.
💬 The moment she realised her monthly crises were hormonal
💬 Why trauma and neurodivergence can complicate PMDD
💬 What worked, what didn’t, and what she’s learned about managing symptoms
💬 How Not Ovaryacting is giving people a voice and a lifeline
This episode is honest, emotional, and genuinely hopeful. If you're in the thick of PMDD, Lydia’s story will remind you you’re not broken — and you’re definitely not alone.
