How do you know when to say what’s on your mind? I think that a mixture of how I was raised and my natural tendencies have created some unhelpful coping skills. I am nonverbal under stress, and didn’t learn great communication skills at home. I’m also multiply neurodivergent, and a slow processor of certain forms of information. My go-to has been to keep an eye on the calendar, not make any rash decisions if I’m in typically low mood-times, and also be careful not to trigger my rejection sensitivity. Which makes things hard, at least in terms of bringing things up when they happen. I tend to let things go as “minor issues” when they could be dealt with before they become major issues. I’m not happy being tied to my hormonal cycle in this way, because PMDD really only gives me a week of solid good moods out of the month. I can’t do it all during that time. Any tips or solidarity in this is welcome.
