Just diagnosed with PMDD

I've just been diagnosed with PMDD, I'm 32 with a 2 year old and my symptoms only started after having my DD.

I'm so angry, upset, tearful, anxious and depressed between ovulation and my period starting, as soon as it starts I feel an instant relief which is weird as I suffer with endometriosis and they are heavy and painful.

My GP thinks a combined pill is the way to go with this, has anyone been diagnosed and the pill work for them?

I take Citalopram for depression, 40mg and have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety since I was a teenager.

Can anyone share any experiences with me? I'm really hoping this works as I hate who I am during that stage of my cycle, I can't stand the sight of my poor DH who's nothing but a great husband and father, it's like I can't control my thoughts or words and I'm short, blunt and can be quite rude to him and I hate it, this is not who I am at any other time. It's really ruining my life.

Hi, OP. Sorry to hear you're going though this. We can see your thread hasn't received any replies as yet in AIBU, so we're going to move it to our Mental Health board now, and hopefully there'll be someone to share some solidarity with you there.
