PMDD advice - really struggling

PMDD help, does anyone struggle? I find that a week or 2 before my period I feel a bit manic is the best way to describe it. I just want to ruin relationships and be by myself. Then a day or so before my actual period I just cry and cry and cry. I’ve had a really stressful 12/18 months with a huge relationship split and maintaining working for myself and looking after my 2 little ones

I already take 150mg of sertraline but I just don’t feel like it really helps or does anything

I was seeing someone, he ended it because of my moods and how ‘all over the place’ I am. I told him I struggle etc and I know I’d likely need someone a bit more understanding

if I go to the doctor would they likely do anything for me? Aside from my 2 gorgeous children when I’m in this ‘phase’ I honestly don’t feel like there’s much worth living for

Hugs. Yes I have this also. What has helped me is taking a non drowsy antihistamine & antacid, it’s not a total cure all but helps
