Have you ever had someone close to you (a female, I mean) start behaving irrationally during their periods and then basically claim that they might have PMDD too?
I am not one to simply say NO WAY that's not possible, but at the same time I wonder if this behavior can be learned or even if transferring the PMDD to someone else can happen. I mean, women sync up their cycles all the time. Can it be possible that they can also become super sensitive to the changes? Unless this is an autoimmune issue (no one knows for sure yet). Then I don't think it can be passed on like that. Or does this person (my stepdaughter) honestly have an autoimmune problem like me?
There have been studies (sorry.. I'm not going to link one or quote one here yet.. maybe another time) that show that we seek out mates based on not only how they act and look and how much money they make (ha ha a stab at gold diggers!), but also how they smell. Or at least how we perceive them with our noses. We can supposedly sense if they are compatible with us this way. Biologically speaking. So if this is true, when I chose my husband, did I pick up on that compatibility... the autoimmune gene or susceptibility.. and his daughter genuinely has PMDD too?
There is a high chance that, like I said earlier, this is just a learned thing from seeing me flip out during my periods (I have PMDD worst during my periods; not before them...) or she wants to use it as an excuse to be an emotional mess (sorry, ladies.. I guess there are some people who honestly do use it as an excuse). Or she has regular PMS that makes her regular depression or other mood/possible personality issues (which she wholeheartedly denies) worse.
Sometimes I wonder if my husband has PMDD. Seriously. He behaves like me sometimes. But what he has is PTSD. Similar symptoms, I suppose. I wrote a blog post previously that I haven't put here on the new site yet about how men might be able to have PMDD too. If it is an autoimmune thing or a sensitivity to normal fluctuations in hormones, why can't men have it too? They have histamines and hormones. (Hey, that would be a cool blog name if PMDD was in fact an autoimmune/allergy thing... Histamines and Hormones.)
Alright then. Now to find out if stepdaughter is on her period. It would explain why she's making horrible decisions right now and lying to us. (or is that typical teenager/leaving the nest stuff?)
Good point to make though. If you are PMDDing/PMSing, DO NOT MAKE ANY BIG DECISIONS. :)
