An autistic woman’s PMDD-fuelled inner monologue is actually making some really salient points this month, according to sources.
Chi-Young Lee, 26, usually knows to tune out the raging, emotionally volatile voice in her head that surfaces during her luteal phase, but this time around she has had to admit that at least some of this shit might be true.
Lee’s PMDD reportedly suggested that her boss was a “snivelling little Bezos-alike who treats his employees like the estranged kids he’ll never see again”, and that her sister’s husband was “destroying the psyche of a good woman via weaponised incompetence”. While this is not the language Lee herself would have used, she says she is starting to realise that people other than her might genuinely suck.
Lee said: “I know I need to pace myself and do my CBT exercises and stuff, but I’m beginning to wonder whether some things are other people’s fault sometimes, and maybe there are reasons to be angry with people. What if two things are true at once: that I am responsible for my own feelings, but I’m allowed to be pissed off when someone’s demonstrably being a knobhead?”
Lee’s PMDD said: “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I’m going to find a way to start blaming you for all this tomorrow.”
