PMDD Community Group
This group is for women with PMDD or those trying to learn more about the condition.
Hey everyone! i'm new to this group and am looking to learn more about this condition. I haven't been diagnosed with PMDD through a dr but i have a strong feeling that I might have it. This whole year has been downhill for me. I notice the symptoms I get come 2 weeks before my period and typically disappear a few days after it starts. Pretty much I get about a week or so of good days where I feel like myself again (always happy, can move on from something bad happening in my day/life). When i'm going through all this my anxiety is sky high, I feel very hopeless, that i'm an awful mom, that no one likes me/wants to be around me, suicidal thoughts, loss of interest in things i've always enjoyed and major mood swings- 1 second i can be fine and the next i'm yelling about something. i've been to the ER twice just because I'm tired of these feelings and they had me take a class that helps with anxiety/depression.
I feel like I'm always completely alone going through these things even though I read about it constantly just so I can try to tell myself I'm not alone. I am taking an antidepressant and my dr just started me on a new birth control pill this month. Can anyone else tell me they're going through the same thing/s & that I'm not alone & crazy?
Also, any other things I can try to feel better? supplements? I've been doing some reading and read about Vitex chastberry- does anyone take this and notice a difference?
