I’ve noticed that my observance (and my everything else) takes a huge hit in my luteal phase. I feel more disconnected from my community, don’t want to go to synagogue, etc. I feel like it doesn’t matter if I keep Shabbat or kosher or not.
Then in my follicular phase I’m like, oh boy! Suddenly practicing again! Let me also sing songs and join a Torah study group!
I’ve always noticed that my relationship to Judaism waxes and wanes but never noticed the link to my cycle before. It’s blowing my mind how much PMDD can actually make you a different person from phase to phase.
Does anyone else have experiences of their Jewishness intersecting with their PMDD? What is it like for you, also do you have any tips?
