@@sophiaclark376 It’s a very sensitive line between anger and rage. I’ve had anger issues since I was little but the older I’ve gotten the more it becomes rage. I’m on a plethora of meds for keeping it in check but that week before my period it can be bad. It’s very hit or miss as it’s not ever month.
I don’t even feel angry or violent when i’m going through this. Just hopeless, on auto pilot, anxiety through the roof and sometimes suicidal thoughts too. I isolate myself and my work performance drops. It’s 10 days of hell and when I’m in the middle of it, I feel like I’ll never feel normal again
Yeah same 10/11 days of hell happens every symptoms of pmdd anger, irritation, cry, mental anguish sad depressed social insomnia, over sleep mental fog and can not function normally to normal task, muscles ache like hell and I'm actually in the middle of it feels like this will not end, you become so hopelessly helpless, tried anti depressant, hormone tablets now I'm thinking may be removing my ovaries and uterus, my heart goes out to you ladies who suffers pmdd please take care❤❤
I have had this for several years. Finally found treatment to work. I take Fluoxetine 2 weeks before my period and 2 days after My period. I am on Cymbalta for fibromyalgia and take flexiril as needed. I do exercise at least 3 to 4 days a week. Eat healthier, go to my chiropractor for back , neck adjustment, PT, and I get acupuncture 2 times a week. I also use, my at home infared sauna. Seems to alleviate my symptoms of PMDD. I also am a Christian, so I do prayer and go to church.
PMDD is the worst! Everything aggravates me, and I am hurting my love ones by my horrible behavior. I just want to cry, I get extremely sensitive. Need lots of prayers during this time because I can’t even recognize myself.
I recently tried the cyclease pms medicine and it has helped me a lot. Usually I’m sensitive and get really frustrated and the pms medicine makes me feel normal within 30 mins
So relatable. I’m the same. I’m always so teary, sad, angry and hardly understand my self. I almost feel possessed and completely different from my normal self.
Me! I’ve always struggled with a mood disorder…. I have a long list of mental health issues but the last few years (like 1-2 )years I’ve gotten better … less crying and panic attacks, less paranoia attacks BUT … I always start to get bad again , anxiety picks up I start feeling suicidal and like I’m starting to go crazy again… I look at my birth control pack and ahhh yes , behind I’m on that last week of the packet right before the period…. How are we supposed to cope with these feelings no s when we KNOW they will come every month no matter what?
Not suicidal thoughts for me. I believe the soul lives on after death. I just want to stop existing, but since my soul is going to continue to exist anyway, then I don't have a choice. If I have to exist, I'd rather exist in Heaven than in Hell. So, no suicide for me. Just sometimes praying "Why do I have to be here? Can't you just let me die? Why haven't you come back yet Jesus and fixed this broken world?" I know God has a plan, but the anguish is still felt.
You are definitely not alone, Im in pain 2 weeks of every month. I started doing yoga on youtube, it seems to help with lifting the mood. I do yoga with Adrien she is very good, 20 mins or so a day makes a world of difference. xxx
I EXPERIENCED all of the symptoms except for the headache and suicidal thoughts that only once or twice I experienced it.. every month I suffer of this sh*t before menstruation come.. when the period comes, they all mixed together on my body,, and the cramps is so f*cking worse .. do I need to go to doctors appointment?
I think this is a mild description of PMDD. My experience during the luteal phase includes debilitating pain where I cannot function at all at times- even with proper nutrition & exercise. I would love to remove my ovaries but there are so many risk factors to that. Sending love to those affected by PMDD.
Try antihistamines, more specifically Claritin. The only thing that’s actually helped me with PMDD is taking antihistamines 10 days before my period. I take one tiny generic Walmart Claritin in the morning and off I go about my day. I would say that my PMDD symptoms improved by 99%. The other 1% is just me feeling slightly tired and very mildly off. There is evidence that high histamines in the body is associated with PMDD. Many women have seen great improvement with PMDD when they took Claritin. I bought the generic version Claritin from my local Walmart, and it’s changed my life. My extreme PMDD went down to very mild PMS. My biggest fear was the suicidal thoughts I was having. My PMDD got worse after my 3rd child was born, and I remember thinking this is not me, I can’t recognize myself anymore. This person isn’t me. Something overtakes you during that darkness, it’s like you’re in a dark hole with no way out. I knew that I was chemically off because I’m generally a very happy go luckily person until PMDD takes over. So I did a lot of digging and came across a Reddit where women reported great results with taking antihistamines. If I didn’t track my cycle, I wouldn’t have even know in was in the Luteal phase of my cycle. If you take antihistamines and it helps you, please pass it along to other women. So many of us suffer is the most brutal ways and I want to help everyone.
I have manic episodes before my period and recently had a brief episode of psychosis before my period. It seems like it's getting worse every month. If I lessened up on the coffee it might help.

I got PMDD after getting a hormonal IUD. It was a nightmare. I felt possessed. Removed the IUD, PMDD went away. It was only for a few months; I can't imagine how hard it must be to have it for life.
I got it after the microgynon pill.... Im not taking that stupid pill for months now and i still have it. Im so pissed at myself that i took that pill :') I didnt even want another thing. I wanted the implanon but the doctor told me it was better for me to go to the microgynon.... Worst decision ever....
I got it shortly after getting my first period. I thought it was normal bc in America you are told you would be moody. I thought being suicidal once a month was what they meant. I went on a medication by my pcp and it was wrong it did nothing. I was told I was being dramatic. I went to an OBGYN and got the correct birth control. Then I needed anti depressants. After having COVID my anti depressants needed to be upped but now I’m decently steady.
I've had depression and anxiety since around the time puberty hit. I got so annoyed when I talked to mom about how depressed I was and she would say, "Are you about to have your period." We didn't realize it was PMDD until I was in my 20s, but it's been pretty consistent, except when I was running regularly and fairly athletic in Jr. High and high school, then my mental health was much better. I think then I just had normal pms symptoms instead of the pmdd. When I got the Mirena IUD, after a few months I began bleeding every two weeks. I was constantly insanely on edge, even angry, and I ran every day just to try to survive. Often struggled sleeping at night because of the intense feeling in my body, wanted to slam my head into a wall. Raspberry leaf tea helped, but man I am never doing that kind of birth control again.
@@MedicalCentric Thank you. I have an appointment w/ the psych next week that I’m super excited about. Hopefully they can give me an antidepressant for just the 2 weeks prior as I’m perfectly fine the rest of the month.
I've been thinking I had something really really wrong with my head. But it's just my hormones taking a nose dive? I get it so severe I become suicidal and can't do anything but cry and sleep.
I have PMDD and ADHD as well! My ADHD meds help a lot, but we ended up upping my dose as needed the two weeks before my period. better now, but im 6 days till blood and I can't wait, I look forward to it every month bc I feel so sane and level minded during my period.
lmao, not diagnosed, but i always get really fucking depressed roughly a week before my period. then i researched on why, and its fucking pmdd. i just learnt about it 3 months ago. its hell
I have this and mild pcos so yay 😀. Either way I also tend to crave sweets prior to my period and all the emotional symptoms that was described I have them. Every month I’ve thought about leaving this planet, come to find out it was hormones.
Jekyll and Hyde. The most profound change is the day before my period. Every time. Uncontrollable crying, paranoia, anger, self mutilation… it’s like I turn into a werewolf.
While I do understand, i don't necessarily personally support "treatments" that includes suppressing or removing our biology. Something about it feels so very, violent. The only thing that has helped my own situation and experience in getting to know my own pmdd, is listening and honoring my body's voice. Wishing everyone the very best of luck!
I started having PMDD after the birth of my kids. I'm on antidepressants which don't help at all. I feel like I'm being possessed. I look forward to menopause sometimes.
this is the most accurate video I've seen, it is almost half of the month of being dysfunctional, i wish i had known that's what i have for the past 20 years of ruining everything.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome causing emotional and physical symptoms, and can significantly impact daily life. ❤️
Having PMDD is not easy for me because if left untreated, it'd cost me my relationships with my family and friends even my coworkers. As I get older, my symptoms worsen. I don't like losing control of my anger because its going to cause interpersonal conflicts. I'm trying to keep the peace, not start a fight nor an argument. Why is it so difficult to keep my temper and hormones in check? Oh I know why, it's because PMDD meltdowns are not predictable. I do get mad over the smallest things.
I understand how challenging managing PMDD can be, and I commend your commitment to maintaining harmony in your relationships despite these difficulties.
Yes. I have a tight bond with my family and we all live together. I already felt irritable and just wanted to be alone. Just my grandmother eating my waffles sent me over the edge and I left for 1 1/2 days. That’s when I knew something was off. I would have never did that
i use to be just a little irritable while menstruating before i started taking antidepressants now it's like every time before i have my period i get bad thoughts of doing harm to myself i restrain but it sucks when those things pop out of now where and so does crying uncontrollably
Anyone dealing with this I would like to suggest cyclease pms natural tablets. I’ve been using them as a natural way to ease my pmdd and it helps a lot. I get to frustrated and upset when I’m pms. Those are my go to and they have be back to feeling normal within 30 minutes . I hope it helps someone the way it helped me
Friends who are struggling with this, something that’s helped me is going on a keto diet. I try to keep my blood sugar as stable as possible since a low blood sugar usually increases cortisol. During the menstrual phase I’ll introduce some carbs, but I’m overall avoiding them. I’d say the most carbs I eat in a day- even good days- is no more than 100g (equivalent of 4 oreos a day). Another important part of keeping your blood sugar levels normal is eating three big meals a day instead of snacking. I only suffer from insomnia and depression, though. I feel for people struggling with the pain of PNDD.
anyone have symptoms like: - your entire daily life become a mess.. difficult to keep things in order, difficulties to keep your house clean ( but once periods over all goes back to normal ) - loss / increased appetite - extreme anxiety, depression periods even becoming suicidal - become forgetful... difficult to concentrate - isolating from people... - your sleep becomes a MESS
@pastelmoon9118 It sounds like you're describing symptoms that could be related to severe hormonal fluctuations, possibly linked to conditions like premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or another mental health issue. These symptoms-extreme mood swings, changes in appetite, anxiety, depression, forgetfulness, and isolation-can be incredibly challenging to deal with. If you're experiencing this, it's important to reach out for support, whether from a healthcare provider or a mental health professional, to explore treatment options and strategies that can help you manage these symptoms and improve your quality of life. You don't have to go through it alone.
@@MedicalCentric I am incest survivor and in the past I coped with some addictions.. but I overcame those already.. so yea I do deal with depression ..in the past it was so bad that I just stared at walls and were unable to function. Until I forced myself get back on feet and changed my daily life : gave myself small routines to force myself slowly become more physically active.. started to eat foods that reduce anxiety and depression ( broccoli,cauliflower, green tea..).. nowadays I lift weights and do endurance running that alone cleared 80% of my depression but yea.. cause of PMDD like symptoms still have moments when deal with it.. the symptoms I mentioned before are related to periods.. they start around.. week before periods start: first I get huge anxiety and depression.. may have extreme fear about future or wish I never wake up or I make up stupid nightmare scenarios what can happen and cant stop thinking about it.. also have mood swings then I start to have difficulties to concentrate, difficult to start something such as cleaning house or other house work.. but this always goes back to normal when period ends.. then I become forgetful and.. sometimes Im so ashamed of it.. not happening in every month but at times get those violent rage moments when I get so angry that I hit wall or throw something ( something that wont break lol ) that time feel like I NEED to do something physical to release the anger.. Im ashamed of it and I often isolate when having the worst days.. like today had this and when kinda snapped out of it I cried on the floor out of frustfration and shame.. this affects my relationship and work.. hate it.. I do have some sort of PTSD and maybe Dissociative disorder.. not diagnosed tho but I do notice the symptoms from my behavior in everyday life so idk can they affect to PMDD(?) also have endometriosis.. sigh
@@keirynunez7804 its a plant that comes from the vitex or chastberry tree. Different names for it chasteberry peppers monk Vitex, Angus castus, it’s good for anything hormonal related
I got it after having exploratory laparoscopic surgery for Endo. The good news is that Endo wasn't found, but it changed my periods and mental health. I'm not on birth control cause it makes me sick, but I do use BIHT progesterone cream, Remeron and Lorazepam. Sometimes they help other times, they don't. Most of my PMDD symptoms involve sore breasts during the luteal phase, as well as thoughts of bad past things that have happened in my life along with paranoia and intrusive thoughts. After the bleeding starts, all of that crap goes away, and then I feel normal for 2 weeks. The PMDD attacks aren't always bad, and sometimes, they don't bother me at all. All I can say is that I can't wait to reach menopause because then the madness will finally end.
I also may be having a hysterectomy too at some point because after I had covid late last year, I went to see my PCP and I told him to look at everything, so he did a physical and found that my cervix is at high risk for cancer right now.
Iv lost jobs iv walked out of work iv broke relationships my family all due to my pmdd it's awful I'm trying to get help but I don't want to take tablets for it
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced due to PMDD. Exploring non-medication therapies with a mental health professional could offer alternative strategies to manage symptoms effectively.
I need help. My anger and depression has caused issues in my family and work life. I keep going to the doctors but no one seems to want to believe me. My counselor and parents are the only ones who believe something is wrong. It's something wrong with me and just want out of this. The CBD seems to be helping and I am going to try Mushrooms next. But if anyone else out here knows of something I can do or somewhere I can go PLEASE let me know. 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 I pray every one else there suffering from this issue is safe and otherwise healthy.
i am only like this after having my son this is so irritating my cycle will come and spot for days and days after the five days period and each day of spotting comes with very bad cramps fever diarrhea nausea no appetite so for more than two weeks i just drop in weight get weak and very ill and still have to be a mother and a gf in my home im depressed at this point cuz i just got done bleeding for ten month straight post birth im sick of seeing that shit im tired of it just wanna breathe 😒😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
So my GP got me on Seratraline, but hesitant to take it, i was also critically low on vitamin D so got super high dosage and hoping it will be not as bad. 10 days before my period start I am having the peak, literally mental breakdown. I used to have suicidal thoughts but CBT helped with that, I usually check my calendar and 100% it is around those 7-10 days when I feel the lowest. I am often thinking how many women committed suicide not knowing that it’s not them, it could have been me many years ago. That experience set me on a journey of addressing lifestyle choices and that’s where I noticed this pattern. It’s a real emotional pain, usually settles in 2-3 days but completely leave when my period starts. As much as I love being woman and having gift of period, but this is no fun🥴
In my personal experience, I didn’t develop PMDD until after I had my child. I was diagnosed with PPD, wouldn’t be too surprised if they were linked. You got it tho, find what works for you, push through and never give up! ❤
It sounds like you might be experiencing symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD); I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider to explore potential treatments and strategies for relief.
I'm wondering if this is what I have rather than just pms. All my symptoms are there about a week prior to my period. I literally inhale food and then 2 days before I just ruined my diet and walk around like a zombie exhausted from doing absolutely nothing. I'm actually relieved once I get my period bevause that all goes away.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that can significantly impact a person's emotional well-being. It typically occurs in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and can lead to intense mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and depression. If your symptoms persist throughout the week before your period and are affecting your daily life, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional. An obstetrician-gynecologist (obgyn) can provide a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options, which may include medications, therapy, or lifestyle changes to manage PMDD symptoms effectively.
Reading the comments I want to cry. I always thought I was alone and just a monster the week before my period. I truly can’t recognize myself. I’m usually a bubbly person until that one week a month. The anger and sadness gets so intense and then the next week I’m like what was that even about? Does anyone have any recommendations for remedies or medications they use that helps them get through this? you are all so strong 🫶🏻
It's heartbreaking to hear that you're struggling with PMDD and feeling isolated in your experience. Many individuals find solace in connecting with others who share similar challenges. While I'm not a medical professional, some people with PMDD have reported finding relief through various approaches. Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep, might help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, some individuals explore different medications, including hormonal treatments or antidepressants, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It's crucial to consult with a doctor to discuss your specific situation and determine the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs. Remember, reaching out for support, whether from friends, family, or mental health professionals, is a commendable step toward managing PMDD more effectively.
I was diagnosed about 25 yrs ago....I had turned into a ragging bitch and felt like I wanted to fight someone..anyone...just hoping someone would start something. I felt like a psycho.
Yes, many individuals have successfully managed and alleviated symptoms of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) through a combination of medical treatments and lifestyle changes. ❤️
Honest advice for women with PMDD. Stop having sex! Don't masturbate or have sex if you have PMDD. This helped me and I'm having much better periods, without medication. Serotonin even comes back, like your mood is way better than before. So because doctors have refused to remove my ovaries I found that complete sexual abstinence works well. Also seek Jesus Christ for help if you experience this. This sort come not but through prayer and fasting
@@miniixx3334don’t try to push your religion here, it’s not the right place and is extremely inappropriate. Jesus is my savior and if you don’t agree with that sentiment than fine but hinting Islam is the cure is dogmatic and self serving.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) characterized by significant mood disturbances and physical symptoms that interfere with daily life. If you've noticed that your PMDD symptoms are lasting longer as you age, it's essential to discuss these changes with a healthcare professional. Changes in hormone levels, lifestyle, or other factors could contribute to variations in PMDD symptoms over time. A healthcare provider can evaluate your symptoms, consider any underlying factors, and work with you to develop an appropriate management plan. This might include lifestyle adjustments, medications, or other interventions tailored to your specific situation. Open communication with your healthcare team is crucial for addressing changes in PMDD symptoms and ensuring you receive the most effective support and treatment.

Do you uptake your adhd medication prior?
@@briannanichols1302 I've never been prescribed adhd medication! If I was I would of been able to focus more! 😭😭😭
I have PMDD and ADHD as well! My ADHD meds help a lot, but we ended up upping my dose as needed the two weeks before my period. better now, but im 6 days till blood and I can't wait, I look forward to it every month bc I feel so sane and level minded during my period.
I get aggressive during that time and I am autistic
lmao, not diagnosed, but i always get really fucking depressed roughly a week before my period. then i researched on why, and its fucking pmdd. i just learnt about it 3 months ago. its hell
Same
I experience interpersonal conflicts during that time of the month. Anyone else?
Absolutely, hormonal changes can definitely influence mood and interactions; it's a common experience for many.
Please make a video on difference between Premenstrual Syndrome, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and Premenstrual Exacerbation 🙏🙏🙏
I began to have my PMDD symptoms, right after a miscarriage. I had no idea that this was such a real problem.
I am sorry for your loss 😔
Same here.
For life babe 😂😢😂😢
I have this and mild pcos so yay 😀. Either way I also tend to crave sweets prior to my period and all the emotional symptoms that was described I have them. Every month I’ve thought about leaving this planet, come to find out it was hormones.
I can totally relate, thank you for sharing. I feel like we need to talk about this more in society.
Same :')
Always fun when the pcos makes your cycle longer :')
Terrible combination lol
Jekyll and Hyde. The most profound change is the day before my period. Every time. Uncontrollable crying, paranoia, anger, self mutilation… it’s like I turn into a werewolf.
This could be why I kept being diagnosed with clinical depression.
While I do understand, i don't necessarily personally support "treatments" that includes suppressing or removing our biology. Something about it feels so very, violent.
The only thing that has helped my own situation and experience in getting to know my own pmdd, is listening and honoring my body's voice.
Wishing everyone the very best of luck!
I started having PMDD after the birth of my kids. I'm on antidepressants which don't help at all. I feel like I'm being possessed. I look forward to menopause sometimes.
You can take menopause pills with the help of a doctor
Well, I heard that menopause itself would give you syndrom no less than PMDD.
@@denoxdblong2577 I've heard the same. I feel like at least there is an end to menopause eventually.
Me to have a pmdd after birth my kids
Same here
this is the most accurate video I've seen, it is almost half of the month of being dysfunctional, i wish i had known that's what i have for the past 20 years of ruining everything.
I'm glad this video provided clarity for you-understanding is the first step to healing ❤️.
Truly helps in fostering ties and bonds... Better relationships
I have it and it's a hell ☠
Sorry about that. Please stay strong, it gets better.
Jam packed with a decent amount of info to get started.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome causing emotional and physical symptoms, and can significantly impact daily life. ❤️
Knowing this is a huge sigh of relief, thank you :)
I received my diagnosis 2 years ago and it still has yet to get easier.
Having PMDD is not easy for me because if left untreated, it'd cost me my relationships with my family and friends even my coworkers. As I get older, my symptoms worsen. I don't like losing control of my anger because its going to cause interpersonal conflicts. I'm trying to keep the peace, not start a fight nor an argument. Why is it so difficult to keep my temper and hormones in check? Oh I know why, it's because PMDD meltdowns are not predictable. I do get mad over the smallest things.
I understand how challenging managing PMDD can be, and I commend your commitment to maintaining harmony in your relationships despite these difficulties.
Yes. I have a tight bond with my family and we all live together. I already felt irritable and just wanted to be alone. Just my grandmother eating my waffles sent me over the edge and I left for 1 1/2 days. That’s when I knew something was off. I would have never did that
i use to be just a little irritable while menstruating before i started taking antidepressants now it's like every time before i have my period i get bad thoughts of doing harm to myself i restrain but it sucks when those things pop out of now where and so does crying uncontrollably
Sorry to hear that, Please stay strong
Anyone dealing with this I would like to suggest cyclease pms natural tablets. I’ve been using them as a natural way to ease my pmdd and it helps a lot. I get to frustrated and upset when I’m pms. Those are my go to and they have be back to feeling normal within 30 minutes .
I hope it helps someone the way it helped me
how often do you take them?
@@keirynunez7804 every month as soon as my pms symptoms start and it’s no limit on how many you can take since they are natural .
@@tutummara20 where do u get it from
@@keirynunez7804 amazon
It is very difficult to cope with 😭😭
Please stay strong, It gets better.
@@MedicalCentric hope so 🙂
Also helpful for all symptoms described here like anxiety., insomnia, etc
If this happened to men they would understand it completely
Friends who are struggling with this, something that’s helped me is going on a keto diet. I try to keep my blood sugar as stable as possible since a low blood sugar usually increases cortisol. During the menstrual phase I’ll introduce some carbs, but I’m overall avoiding them. I’d say the most carbs I eat in a day- even good days- is no more than 100g (equivalent of 4 oreos a day). Another important part of keeping your blood sugar levels normal is eating three big meals a day instead of snacking. I only suffer from insomnia and depression, though. I feel for people struggling with the pain of PNDD.
anyone have symptoms like:
- your entire daily life become a mess.. difficult to keep things in order, difficulties to keep your house clean ( but once periods over all goes back to normal )
- loss / increased appetite
- extreme anxiety, depression periods even becoming suicidal
- become forgetful... difficult to concentrate
- isolating from people...
- your sleep becomes a MESS
@pastelmoon9118 It sounds like you're describing symptoms that could be related to severe hormonal fluctuations, possibly linked to conditions like premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or another mental health issue. These symptoms-extreme mood swings, changes in appetite, anxiety, depression, forgetfulness, and isolation-can be incredibly challenging to deal with. If you're experiencing this, it's important to reach out for support, whether from a healthcare provider or a mental health professional, to explore treatment options and strategies that can help you manage these symptoms and improve your quality of life. You don't have to go through it alone.
@@MedicalCentric
I am incest survivor and in the past I coped with some addictions.. but I overcame those already.. so yea I do deal with depression ..in the past it was so bad that I just stared at walls and were unable to function.
Until I forced myself get back on feet and changed my daily life :
gave myself small routines to force myself slowly become more physically active.. started to eat foods that reduce anxiety and depression ( broccoli,cauliflower, green tea..).. nowadays I lift weights and do endurance running
that alone cleared 80% of my depression but yea.. cause of PMDD like symptoms still have moments when deal with it..
the symptoms I mentioned before are related to periods.. they start around.. week before periods start: first I get huge anxiety and depression.. may have extreme fear about future or wish I never wake up or I make up stupid nightmare scenarios what can happen and cant stop thinking about it.. also have mood swings then I start to have difficulties to concentrate, difficult to start something such as cleaning house or other house work.. but this always goes back to normal when period ends.. then I become forgetful and.. sometimes Im so ashamed of it..
not happening in every month but at times get those violent rage moments when I get so angry that I hit wall or throw something ( something that wont break lol ) that time feel like I NEED to do something physical to release the anger.. Im ashamed of it and I often isolate when having the worst days.. like today had this and when kinda snapped out of it I cried on the floor out of frustfration and shame..
this affects my relationship and work.. hate it.. I do have some sort of PTSD and maybe Dissociative disorder.. not diagnosed tho but I do notice the symptoms from my behavior in everyday life so idk can they affect to PMDD(?)
also have endometriosis.. sigh
I’ve been taking vitex. It seems to help.
Yes I’m planning to get some too
whats vitex
@@keirynunez7804 its a plant that comes from the vitex or chastberry tree. Different names for it chasteberry peppers monk Vitex, Angus castus, it’s good for anything hormonal related
@@traveltoeat03 thanks!!!
i get so mean before my period its terrible😢
since when is 3 to 8% minute? we screen for colon cancer at 3.5 percent.
I got it after having exploratory laparoscopic surgery for Endo. The good news is that Endo wasn't found, but it changed my periods and mental health. I'm not on birth control cause it makes me sick, but I do use BIHT progesterone cream, Remeron and Lorazepam. Sometimes they help other times, they don't. Most of my PMDD symptoms involve sore breasts during the luteal phase, as well as thoughts of bad past things that have happened in my life along with paranoia and intrusive thoughts. After the bleeding starts, all of that crap goes away, and then I feel normal for 2 weeks. The PMDD attacks aren't always bad, and sometimes, they don't bother me at all. All I can say is that I can't wait to reach menopause because then the madness will finally end.
I also may be having a hysterectomy too at some point because after I had covid late last year, I went to see my PCP and I told him to look at everything, so he did a physical and found that my cervix is at high risk for cancer right now.
Iv lost jobs iv walked out of work iv broke relationships my family all due to my pmdd it's awful I'm trying to get help but I don't want to take tablets for it
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced due to PMDD. Exploring non-medication therapies with a mental health professional could offer alternative strategies to manage symptoms effectively.
Is headaches neck pain nausea and severe lower back pain part of this I feel like crap
I need help. My anger and depression has caused issues in my family and work life. I keep going to the doctors but no one seems to want to believe me. My counselor and parents are the only ones who believe something is wrong.
It's something wrong with me and just want out of this. The CBD seems to be helping and I am going to try Mushrooms next.
But if anyone else out here knows of something I can do or somewhere I can go PLEASE let me know. 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I pray every one else there suffering from this issue is safe and otherwise healthy.
Does anyone get high body sensitivity with this??
i thought this was a normal thing that every woman with a cycle goes through. i should probably go see a doctor 💀
i am only like this after having my son this is so irritating my cycle will come and spot for days and days after the five days period and each day of spotting comes with very bad cramps fever diarrhea nausea no appetite so for more than two weeks i just drop in weight get weak and very ill and still have to be a mother and a gf in my home im depressed at this point cuz i just got done bleeding for ten month straight post birth im sick of seeing that shit im tired of it just wanna breathe 😒😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
So my GP got me on Seratraline, but hesitant to take it, i was also critically low on vitamin D so got super high dosage and hoping it will be not as bad. 10 days before my period start I am having the peak, literally mental breakdown. I used to have suicidal thoughts but CBT helped with that, I usually check my calendar and 100% it is around those 7-10 days when I feel the lowest. I am often thinking how many women committed suicide not knowing that it’s not them, it could have been me many years ago. That experience set me on a journey of addressing lifestyle choices and that’s where I noticed this pattern. It’s a real emotional pain, usually settles in 2-3 days but completely leave when my period starts. As much as I love being woman and having gift of period, but this is no fun🥴
is PMDD linked to untreated PPD?? 😩
In my personal experience, I didn’t develop PMDD until after I had my child. I was diagnosed with PPD, wouldn’t be too surprised if they were linked. You got it tho, find what works for you, push through and never give up! ❤
No
I experience depression, impatience, and sadness two weeks prior to my period. It sucks
It sounds like you might be experiencing symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD); I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider to explore potential treatments and strategies for relief.
PMDD is so bad!
Im 14 and i have pmdd i just got diagnosed with it after dealing with it for 2 years and i feel like im going crazy
Sorry to hear that
I’m terrified to get my period each month.
UGH as if It wasn't enough to survive cancer. I hate mental problems now why do I have to go to a phychologist this is just- idk
I have this pmdd in the worst way . I thought this was NORMAL
Why don’t DOCTOrS stop lying to us and listen!
I'm wondering if this is what I have rather than just pms. All my symptoms are there about a week prior to my period. I literally inhale food and then 2 days before I just ruined my diet and walk around like a zombie exhausted from doing absolutely nothing. I'm actually relieved once I get my period bevause that all goes away.
It could be premenstrual syndrome (PMS), but discussing these symptoms with a healthcare professional would provide clarity and potential solutions.
Oh that make sense of what happened to me😢
Glad it's helpful.
Mine starts the week before and persists throughout. And I was diagnosed by a obgyn
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that can significantly impact a person's emotional well-being. It typically occurs in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and can lead to intense mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and depression. If your symptoms persist throughout the week before your period and are affecting your daily life, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional. An obstetrician-gynecologist (obgyn) can provide a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options, which may include medications, therapy, or lifestyle changes to manage PMDD symptoms effectively.
Including mea culpa, guilty conscience
I'm living in hell since 15 years ago😢😢😢
SORRY TO HEAR THAT
Reading the comments I want to cry. I always thought I was alone and just a monster the week before my period. I truly can’t recognize myself. I’m usually a bubbly person until that one week a month. The anger and sadness gets so intense and then the next week I’m like what was that even about? Does anyone have any recommendations for remedies or medications they use that helps them get through this? you are all so strong 🫶🏻
It's heartbreaking to hear that you're struggling with PMDD and feeling isolated in your experience. Many individuals find solace in connecting with others who share similar challenges. While I'm not a medical professional, some people with PMDD have reported finding relief through various approaches. Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and sufficient sleep, might help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, some individuals explore different medications, including hormonal treatments or antidepressants, under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It's crucial to consult with a doctor to discuss your specific situation and determine the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs. Remember, reaching out for support, whether from friends, family, or mental health professionals, is a commendable step toward managing PMDD more effectively.
Omg I fucking have this I think. I hate my uterus I wanna cut it off.
Please visit a doctor
I was diagnosed about 25 yrs ago....I had turned into a ragging bitch and felt like I wanted to fight someone..anyone...just hoping someone would start something. I felt like a psycho.
It sounds like you went through a very challenging time; it's important to continue seeking the right support and treatment. ❤️
Did anyone ever recovered from it?
Yes, many individuals have successfully managed and alleviated symptoms of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) through a combination of medical treatments and lifestyle changes. ❤️
All woman then
8% is not a minute part of woman!! Like what the f*ck!? Is that kinda crap that makes this stuff so under researched.
While 8% may seem small, every woman's experience is significant and deserves thorough research and attention. ❤️
Honest advice for women with PMDD. Stop having sex! Don't masturbate or have sex if you have PMDD. This helped me and I'm having much better periods, without medication. Serotonin even comes back, like your mood is way better than before. So because doctors have refused to remove my ovaries I found that complete sexual abstinence works well. Also seek Jesus Christ for help if you experience this. This sort come not but through prayer and fasting
@@miniixx3334 if I'm married than I'll have sex but I don't want marriage. Jesus Christ will return and woe to those with child
@@miniixx3334don’t try to push your religion here, it’s not the right place and is extremely inappropriate. Jesus is my savior and if you don’t agree with that sentiment than fine but hinting Islam is the cure is dogmatic and self serving.
That makes zero sense, and is backed by no research. Stop using your person anecdotes to make factual claims, it's stupid.
Also, god doesn't exist. stop promoting your cult here.
@@Mahi-nw5vh it works very well and I'm going to tell the truth because I believe in Jesus Christ
Best cure is chapter 2 of The Holy Quran-The Cow... About Prophets Adam & Moses&the children of Israel
Best cure for depression is to read chapter 2 of The Holy Quran - The Cow... It's mainly about the Prophet Moses and the children of Israel.
Sounds like a great way to get depressed.

this is me before my TOM. but as i age i notice it’s lasting longer
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) characterized by significant mood disturbances and physical symptoms that interfere with daily life. If you've noticed that your PMDD symptoms are lasting longer as you age, it's essential to discuss these changes with a healthcare professional. Changes in hormone levels, lifestyle, or other factors could contribute to variations in PMDD symptoms over time.
A healthcare provider can evaluate your symptoms, consider any underlying factors, and work with you to develop an appropriate management plan. This might include lifestyle adjustments, medications, or other interventions tailored to your specific situation. Open communication with your healthcare team is crucial for addressing changes in PMDD symptoms and ensuring you receive the most effective support and treatment.
It took me 10 years just to get a PCOS diagnosis, wonder how long I'll have to fight to get a PMDD one 🥲
