For years, Amani battled with anxiety, rage, suicidal thoughts and attempts, which she attributed to severe CPTSD and the other symptoms she experienced were attributed to endometriosis and adenomyosis.
The turning point arrived after being put into chemical menopause while waiting for a hysterectomy. The suicidal thoughts disappeared, Amani instantly felt better, and that is when she discovered that she had been living with PMDD.
Amani talks about the treatments she had, implantable estrogen and the importance of community.
