The star has been honest about her health battles over the past few yearsVicky’s Discovery
Vicky’s journey with her body comes after she revealed she had been diagnosed with PMDD into believing nothing was wrong with her.
PMDD () left Vicky suffering from , depressive moods, rage, crippling cramps, and a feeling of hopelessness that, at points, left her with suicidal ideation.
“I was told everything from, ‘This is just PMS, everyone experiences it, other women can just handle it better’ to, ‘This is psychological â you need antidepressants.’
“I was told by one doctor, ‘Maybe it’ll be better if you lose weight.’”
Her voice breaks when she reflects on the battle she still faces.
Vicky says: “Every month, you lose yourself â and as I’ve gotten older, it’s gotten worse.
“It used to last a few days, but now it’s seven to ten days before my period.
“I’m anxious, I’m emotional, I’m exhausted, and I’m completely unrecognisable from the woman I am the rest of the time.
“The things that bring me joy don’t bring me joy.”
“I broke down when she said I had,” Vicky said of her diagnosis after turning to private medical care three years ago. “I’d had five years of being gaslit.”
