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!
