PMDD

Anybody know of or struggle with pmdd? I have never been diagnosed, I just recently found out what it is. I think it explains perfectly what I am going through. I am struggling soooo badly!! I feel awful. The week(ish) before I'm supposed to get my period, I am just an angry, sad person. Which is not me at all. I cry all the time, snappy with everyone, my kids😭 they don't deserve it all. I try so hard to keep calm but I still snap at them. I don't know what to do!! I need help but I can't afford to see a doctor or a therapist or whatever. I'm just ranting really. I really feel like I'm going to explode with all the emotions inside me today.. anybody else struggle with anything similar? 🥲

I have never been diagnosed with it either but now looking at it i feel like i hate it too. The day before or the day of my period i am very sad and upset like my world is falling apart. I gave birth 10 months ago so it could be PPD. I usually only feel this way right before my period or day of. I can tell you I keep telling myself this is temporary and it will go away. I know it will go away because it always dpes and I will not let it affect my behaviour towards my baby but I lash out at my husband 😒 which is sad. But i think he understands. I am usually a happy person and everything is fine in life but i just feel like crying and sobbing. Wish I could help more but I can tell you are not alone. Many women out there feel this way.

Yep. I finally went to seek help cause I felt like I was at the end of my rope, was put on Zoloft and it’s very much so not working, and when I report back that it’s not working, the psych says it sounds like it is working. LMFAO

I have it, but unfortunately mines from have BPD so I’m not sure what to look for in it with pregnancy or after pregnancy but it’s a rough ride

@Zainab pmdd hits 2 weeks before and sometimes after your period - what your describing sounds different

Me! I used to take herbal supplements to help me calm down and I felt there was a difference. Didn’t stop the symptoms but did make them more manageable

I’ve been seeing stuff that says pmdd can be helped by histamine inhibitors in some cases but it’s definitely a discussion to have with your health care team on if ya should give it a shot or not lol I believe it does actually help tho, cause taking zofran for my nausea spells from my chronic illnesses does improve my mood an insane amount ( not just from like not being nauseous anymore, it Legit feels like a mood stabilizer sometimes for me)

The first step would be to see your family doctor because sometimes women can experience that and it’s not PMDD but something else or in some cases some women are really just more emotionally sensitive that time of month If it is pmdd , usually you need medications to help it

Literally less than an hour ago I was talking to my husband about possibly talking to the doctor about it because today alone has been horrible. I feel terrible for my family because they always get the shit end of it. I feel absolutely hopeless

@Tessa girl me too😭 I don't think my husband is taking me seriously 🥲
