Laura’s journey with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder began long before she had the language to describe it. She had her first period at 14, and while her cycle appeared “normal” on the surface, the emotional landscape was anything but.

From her early teens, Laura experienced intense depressive phases that came and went with rhythmic regularity — though she didn’t yet know they were linked to her menstrual cycle. The feelings were overwhelming, cyclic, and frightening. Instead of receiving answers, she received dismissal.

At 15, while seeking help for what she now recognises as cyclical disordered eating, she was simply handed a leaflet about healthy foods. She internalised the shame, believing she was the problem — not her hormones.

For the next 14 years, the pattern repeated. Each month brought crushing lows, self-blame and confusion. “I punished myself with unhealthy behaviours,” Laura reflects. “I blamed myself for not being able to ‘fix’ something I didn’t understand.”

Everything changed at age 28 when Laura stumbled upon a social media post describing PMDD. It was a moment of revelation. With years of mood-tracking notebooks already in hand, she recognised the cyclical nature of her symptoms immediately.

She began tracking her menstrual cycle alongside her moods and took her findings to her GP. After ruling out other health issues, she finally received a formal diagnosis. “There’s no cure for PMDD,” Laura says, “but with the right treatment, I’ve found a way to live more fully than ever before.”

Diagnosis wasn’t the end of the journey — it was the beginning of learning how to manage a misunderstood condition. Initial treatment recommendations weren’t right for her and finding an effective plan took time and persistence. Laura now uses luteal-phase dosing of SSRIs, alongside deep self-awareness and compassionate self-care, to manage her condition.

The combination has given her a foundation that softens the intensity of episodes. But even with treatment, PMDD remains relentless. “Every month feels like rock bottom,” she explains. “Just when you think you’ll handle it better next time, it hits again — and it feels harder than ever.”

Rather than let PMDD define her, Laura has channelled her experience into supporting others. Today, she coaches women through a wide range of hormonal issues, blending education, empathy and lived experience. Her support, advice and strategies have helped hundreds of women feel seen and heard — also equipping them with practical tools and advice to manage their conditions.

Meanwhile, her GET **IT DONE CLUB is a vibrant, community-driven networking and co-working organisation designed for people who want to build businesses, confidence and connections without the pressure or pretension of traditional corporate environments. What started as an idea to help connect lonely business owners now sees hundreds of people meet up each month.

Laura summarises: “PMDD affects 1 in 20 people who menstruate yet many go undiagnosed for years. PMDD is very serious and one in three people with PMDD have attempted suicide. But remember these things if you are suffering: you are not alone; your symptoms are real; your experience deserves to be taken seriously; and finally, life and joy are still possible — even when it feels unbearably heavy.”
