Hey there! Can I ask people with PMDD about medication?

I started taking Prozac / fluoxetine 9 weeks ago. It's been amazing for PMDD side effects but I find in the first 2 weeks of my cycle when I'm feeling fine that it gives me headaches, insane tiredness etc. Do you just take for the 2nd half of your cycle? Did you feel okay missing 2 weeks?

I tried the combined and mini pill but didn't feel any better!

30 hours funding question

I’m trying to apply for the 30 hours funding in preparation for when my baby starts childcare in January. He is currently 10.5 months old.

The question “Will you earn at least £203.36 a week, before tax, for the next 3 months?”

I’m not sure how to answer as I’m currently on the unpaid part of SMP. From 1st December I’ll be using annual leave so technically back to work. Do I answer no as it’s asking about now? Or is it asking about when I’m back?

Job rant?

Long story short.

Im in a situation where i need to earn maybe a minimum of £34,500 annually before tax to be able to afford life with my son. I have experience in hospitality but nothing else. No bachelors, no special qualifications, cant drive, no experience. I know it sounds stupid and obvious but i cant find a job. Not even one that has the potential to earn more over the next year. It needs to be term time if i need to go there in person leaving time for drop off/pick up for my child. Alternatively be fully remote. What on earth am i supposed to do because im getting zero help trying to fix this problem of mine even from people who's job it is to help me get into work. They keep telling me to just "get a job, dont worry about money"... how the fuck can i not worry about money? Life is money in this economy.

How do I deal with no intimacy?

We have sex maybe 3 times a month we are young in our twenties with one child about to be a year old but there’s no intimacy no holding hands no random hugs or kisses i mean he goes the whole day and won’t even hold me while we sleep if I don’t go and hold him . I’m getting tired and thoughts of finding someone else is starting to creep in .
I have countless told him I am lonely and what I expect but yet nothing he goes a full day on his phone rather than touch me . Is anyone dealing with this? How are you coping ?
