"Try being taken seriously when you're suffering from crippling anxiety, or on the verge of tears, or screaming."
"Women have much to be angry about, but aren't given many avenues for expressing their anger. People with PMDD are caught between their biology and sexist expectations. Many people with PMDD have reported that their symptoms are less serious when they're alone." Great, the perfect excuse for why I rarely leave the house (also, truth)
So apparently, lots of INFJs have PMDD. >mind blown emoji<. "INFJs represent 2% of the population, and are known for being emotional and analytical, as well as sensitive."
I found this book so interesting and helpful. Hopefully I can utilize it to make some changes in my life or bolster the ones I'm already undertaking in order to make it easier for me to exist, as well as not turn homicidal at the people around me.
