Anyone have severe PMS and feel suicidal?

Question

The week before my period starts I feel depressed, irritable and I have thoughts of suicide. Once my period arrives it goes away. Anyone else dealing with this? How do you make it better?

Answer

This sounds like me. I have premenstral dysphoric disorder (pmdd). Your doctor can prescribe an antidepressant that'll help. What I've found helps most is just being aware of where you are in your cycle so that when you start feeling suicidal & hopeless you'll realize that it's just hormones & kinda plan for it each month.

Answer

Yes. Google PMDD. I have had very little luck with doctors accepting this diagnosis but it is very much a real thing and there are ways to treat it with vitamins, therapy, anitdepressants, etc. Good luck, you are not alone!
