I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again- I’m always so grateful and so helped by your writing and reframing of PMDD. It’s always real and balanced and none of that toxic positivity stuff.
It’s so hard in a culture that wants productivity 24/7 to need to clock out. And then to clock back in with double the work, just so hard. Kind of what you talked about in today’s post. The recovery period is sometimes the hardest because if I do too much right when I feel good I lay double for it. Anyway, that’s all just to say let’s normalize the ebbs and flows and taking care of ourselves.
I loved that story in At the Back of the North Wind! What a lovely and helpful way of understanding your own illness. May you continue to have more and more grace with yourself as you see the beauty that God is weaving into your hard and good story.
Wonderful, vulnerable words today, Brea. Thank you so much. The Back of the North Wind is one of my favorite books. It so vividly hits hard things in an uplifting way, just like your writings do as well.
I too have days where my body and mind feel at war with me. Take care and what a blessing to know the dark doesn't last. There's always a sunrise.
Thank you for reading my work! Your comment was encouraging. It's so nice to be seen by others who understand. And I love that you love At the Back of the North Wind too. I've read it many times as a child but recently revisited as an adult. ❤️
Brea! Again! Your words fill me with much comfort, and so early in the week at that. Your suffering is not unseen. Thank you for sharing how you frame PMDD, because it helps me to build a groundwork I have not yet even considered for myself and my own PMDD struggles.
Thank you, Brooke. I hate to know you struggle with the same chronic illness AND I'm glad you have a name for what you're struggling with at the same time. I hope you have safe people and medical professionals who believe you and help you advocate for yourself. You're not alone! ❤️
Breanne, this is stunning. I knew immediately what story you were going to reference (because we just read the book) and it’s such a beautiful illustration of how literature changes us and our perspective on the world.
Yes, I thought the same thing. I'm so glad God gave humans the creativity to write things and tell these kinds of stories. It's incredibly healing to see yourself represented in writing, even when the author might not have intended it that way (another thing that fascinates me).

Yes! I always think about that when I preach. So often people walk away with something I never said or even thought about saying.
