I don't know how long I've suffered with PMDD. A long time before I even knew what it was. Some of the people closest to me, called me crazy, cold bitch, etc. Some months are worse than others. This month is brutal. I have no real support from my husband. He only thinks abut himself. How it affects him, nevermind that I want to die some days. I'm almost 48. And it's gotten worse since the birth of my 3 year old daughter. I feel hopeless. I don't have insurane, no money to see a Dr. I have no family where we live and no close friends. I have no one I can really talk to. It is a very lonely place. SOme days my kids are all that keep me going, other days, they push me to the breaking point.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm 39 and was hoping it would go away when I get older, but I'm learning on this website that that's not the case.

Yes, untreated it usually gets worse. I don't get a break. I'm also going thru perimenopause. Some days I feel like I can't go on.

Does it help to know you're not alone? That even though you're feeling bad now that it will pass? That this is not your fault and without help you cannot control it? I used to think my partner was uncaring when I went through my phases but he's been at my side, he may not know exactly what's wrong or how to help but he tries.. It will be ok, we just have to use our good weeks to help prepare for the bad ones? You're not alone remember that if nothing else. And you are here for a reason! You are needed and unique and strong, we will get through this mess, somehow, because we were MADE to get through It or else we wouldn't have this horrible disease in the first place. Rooting for you wherever you are

Thank you. It does help to know I'm not the only one and that I'm not going crazy.

Michellleroulez. I'm going through the same thing with my boyfriend who will be 60 in 2 weeks, he's so annoying and he tells me I must've done something wrong in my life to suffer like this. I'll be fifty and I just know there is something that can be done for us. With that being said I'm glad I found you and the rest of these ladies. Wishing you peace and comfort..

Maw99. Thank you. Men just don't get it. I started taking estroven because I'm also perimenopausal. It's helping a bit.
