Well done Ilythia ! You are brave for having finished nursing school, raised your daughter and managed life despite debilitating depression. I struggled with the worst depression from teenage and medication really is life- changing. Thank you for de-stigmatising medication for mental illness and sharing your story 😊❤

🎉🎉❤ 🙏🏼 Thank you for this video. It is really helpful to hear other people’s experiences especially when you’re going through similar things!!!

Very intrigued to watch/hear this video. It's a very important topic and I'm eagered to learn about it 😊

Never took sertraline, but I was prescribed wellbutrin for depression and binge eating disorder. It worked wonders, helped me A LOT.

Thanks for your transparency, hope things continue to get better for you ❤. I have struggled with PMDD for years and tried not to take medication because there is so much stigma attached. But thankfully I took a chance and feel so much better.

Great video, thanks for sharing your story with us❤ I'm too straggling with this and your video helped me to see that I'm not alone in my fighting.

I’m a nurse myself I heard about PMS before but this is a first time I heard PMDD and had to look it up. Good to know there such a thing. Thank you for sharing ❤

I’m on bupropion for ADHD management - it works wonders

I also struggle with ppmd and it can be so debilitating

Great video, this was so helpful ❤❤❤ it made me feel less alone!

Commenting to chime in that I’ve been there. Thank you for sharing.

Great video , thanks for raising awareness 🌸

Karen here. Bupropion gave me back my life after having same reaction to Citalopram. Slept all day. Now its at night for anxiety and sleep. Bupropion (generic Wellbutrin) mornings after breakfast.

I have similar issues, so it's good that you are sharing this, I have had major moods during my pms or during my period, I no longer get my period because I'm on the birth control pill due to endometriosis, which is another whole thing

Great video! Thanks for sharing. I went on Sertraline recently and I’m feeling so down. Hopefully, it’ll start working soon.

Darling have you considered ADHD? It’s highly correlated to PMDD and is often misdiagnosed as depression/anxiety

Thanks for sharing one hundred percent with you re puppy I adore my puppy now 1 but my goodness it was such hard work and changed my life x

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. LPNs are the same in the US.
