I just want to say thanks.

I googled PMDD as I didn’t know what it was and read up a bit about it and all of the ‘symptoms’ is what I get. I didn’t know it was a thing so hopefully I can look into it more and find out something to help me!

i’m so glad i could help!! i hope you’re able to find a treatment that’ll help manage your symptoms and make things easier!!

i’d definitely recommend keeping track of your mental health and other symptoms over the next few months just so you can see a pattern and have a more concrete visual to look back on/bring to a doctor in the future!

#plus it’s just nice to have that to look back on and reassure myself that ‘hey im not lazy’ it’s literally something out of#my control at the moment#ask#anon

I self-diagnosed myself with PMDD about a year ago. I think I had googled something like "bi-polar before my period" (i genuinely thought i was manic bc of the extreme shifts in emotions i was having) and thats how i learned about PMDD. My suspicions were confirmed when i went on birth control and the symptoms went away.🙃

i have a doctors appointment in october so i think i’m going to see if i can get on birth control to compare (and also just help my regular period aches) so hopefully that’ll help!

i’ve been observing a pattern over the past year but really started to put two and two together maybe a couple months ago? i actually wouldn’t have known it was a thing if it weren’t for a post i read here on tumblr talking about it which i’m very glad i saw!

#ask#i’m glad the birth control worked to help your symptoms!!#it truly truly sucks feeling this way lol

PMDD sucks so bad i literally cannot get myself to do anything for basically an entire half of the month

#text#personal (don’t rb)#i’m not officially diagnosed#but i have been noticing a pattern that my anxiety and depression get amplified a noticeable amount around a week or so before my period#like more than what i would consider normal for pms#and like it’s weird because now i can notice almost the exact day that things start to go downhill#and i just have to be like :) well here we go :) won’t feel any bit off happiness or rest for the next 2+ weeks#good thing is that i should be getting weed this week so that’ll help my back and mental spirals and i’ll be able to#sleep without nightmares#literally woke up today crying because of my dream lmao
