I'm frightened

I'm really scared about how I'm feeling and I don't know what to do. I've been diagnosed with pmdd, I've been on the combined pill since January and things seems to be getting worse. I missed one pill on Tuesday night (took it again weds night). Yesterday I had cramps, I took it again last night and within a few hours I felt extremely unwell in bed - severe insomnia, hot flashes, panicky, tummy making noises/cramps. I was only at the drs yesterday and no one is hearing how bad things are for me - she didn't know what pill would be better so just said take your pick and try it for three months but I'm feeling so awful.
My anxiety is worse than ever, I keep feeling off balance. I feel really paranoid. When I've got up this morning I think my face looks weird in the mirror, like it's not me. I feel like I can't eat and I feel like this is never going to get better. I don't know what to do.

Do you need to be on the pill? If it's for contraception there are other methods you could try, coil etc.

@Turmerictolly I went on the pill to help with severe pms symptoms and pain

Could it be more peri ? Also if the pill isn't enough it's recommended to also be on a small anti depressant dose for pmdd

@sarahc336 I'm 31 so I don't think so. I've had bad experiences with anti depressants in the past
