So.. I just posted talking about my period and extreme anxiety. I was googling around like the hypochondriac I am while on the toilet, and I came across PMDD. I’ve heard about it before but I never really looked into it until now. Going off of this website, seems credible, .gov, I have all of these symptoms. Every month. Some months they’re worse than the others.

The panic attacks are extremely awful. Almost wanted to take myself to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. Always irritable and it does effect how I treat my family and my boyfriend. Trouble sleeping, binge eating, and all those physical symptoms listed + more.

I know self diagnosing is awful so I’m going to schedule an appointment with my gynecologist once my period is over to get help... but how did you ladies know you had it, if you were diagnosed with it. if you’re not on medication, how do you cope? I don’t want to get on any type of antidepressant. I would consider a prescription for anti anxiety but no antidepressants.

Thank you!!!! ❤️
