It’s a slightly complicated one but I’m pretty sure that I might have PMDD. However I’ve struggled with my mental health my entire life and I’m also awaiting whether o can have an autism assessment, but it’s been a year and I’ve heard absolutely nothing.
Every month my periods are ruining my life. For anything from 1-2 weeks before my periods I am an absolute mess. I get every symptom going. My whole body aches, I get migraines, IBS, for about a week my energy is so low I struggle to function even on a basic level. I’d literally lie in bed for a week if I could.
My moods are insane and I can’t tolerate my own family, I fantasise about running away from everyone and everything, and lately I’ve been having suicidal thoughts again, which is so horrible.
Years ago I was offered to take anti depressants just for the two weeks before my period starts, but I really wasn’t keen on going on medication.
However I’m getting older and with general life stuff I’m struggling to cope.
So I’m thinking of going to the GP and asking to try the tablets.
Can any on e share their experiences good or bad?
