looking for similar stories if anyone can help please.
I have always wondered if I maybe suffering from PMDD. My moods before my period have always been very erratic. But I have noticed since I have my mirena coil removed this march my moods have truly been something else…
for over 10 years now I have suffered with anxiety and depression, I’m currently taking sertaline and quetiapine to help. But since my coil has been removed, if not maybe a little bit before that my moods have been vile and I’m becoming so worried about myself.
The timeline goes a little like this:
A week or so before my period my breasts especially my nipples are on fire in pain, if I even brush something I’m like ouch!! I occasionally get a migraine or 2 and the bloat gets get makes me look about 8 months pregnant!
my moods are horrible ,I bite the head off anyone who even talks to me or says the wrong thing to me. I get incredibly insecure and anxious about my body and my self esteem just drops completely.
im having suicidal thoughts over the most stupidest of things and often think about leaving the house and running away. I struggle to sleep which usually with my 25mg of quetiapine I drop off within the first half an hour of taking it.
constantly tossing and turning! Hot flashes like I’m going through the bloody change (I’m 30 this year!) my poor children are suffering because of this. Im at my wits end with feeling this way. Can’t stop crying this evening because my DP was quiet this evening and I felt like the world was truly against me! I also can’t be bothered to do anything. Housework just makes me sink deeper into depression when I see the mess and chaos, even the cats play fighting sends me over the edge!
once my period arrived I’m in a lot of pain (I do have a cyst currently on one of my ovaries so not sure if this is the cause of the pain) and super tired because my periods are crazy heavy anyway so probably lack of iron! But I do feel a bit more chilled out. I might snap now and again but the suicidal thoughts defintley subside.
once my period has finished I feel brand new again. Im laughing, joking and playing around with my DC , it feels good to be me again…
just looking for advice, anything! Please im bloody desperate here!!
