I don't want to overstate this by referring to this as "severe". I know PMDD can lead to suicide and I am not there nor have I ever been but I feel so low at this time of the month. I feel down, depressed, hopeless, anxious, angry, I question things I've said and done and hate myself, I can't sleep, I can't concentrate. I'm working from home today and thankfully I don't have loads to do. I have a busy week in the office from tomorrow so I don't feel too guilty about not doing much but I just can't. I want to cry. I don't know what to do with myself.
If you've experienced this, how do you cope?
I don't take drugs but I've recently started taking ashwaganda and lions mane root. Not sure if it's had an impact yet.
