PMDD Support Community Group
A group specifically addressing Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder; severe emotional and physical problems associated with the menstrual cycle. A place where we can share our feelings during the tough times and different types of treatments. Moodswings welcome!
I have not been diagnosed with PMDD but for years now about 10/14 before my cycle I am in an emotional hell storm, from crying uncontrollably, to fits of rage, to depression, and round and round we go. I feel like I'm loosing my mind. God love my husband but I don't think he gets it at all. He try's to be supportive by helping around the house and so on. Which is help but it doesn't take the mental anguish away. Support would just be nice that someone would really understand that as much I was want to control it. I feel like it controls me.
have you talked to your doctor about this?
have you considered seeing a therapist?
mine helps a great deal,and it may also help if your husband could attend with you so that he could better understand what you go through...
peace to you.
i'm glad you are going to see your doctor,and that your husband will be going with you.
i'm also glad you have a therapist,although i can relate to being inbetween appointments when things start to become very bad.
do you keep a journal? i find keeping track of my cycles and how i'm feeling helps,and gives me some perspective....it helps me to see that i'm not just "losing it" for no reason...it is also a great way to just vent your emotions.
i also take calcium with magnesium (magnesium is supposed to help a lot)and a b complex supplement...of course talk to your doctor before starting any supplements.
i hope you can get some relief soon.....you have all my empathy.
