Adult daughter with ADD going nuclear!

I’m wondering if either any parents of adult children ( especially women) or women with ADD/ADHD an identify with this: my adult daughter with ADD (who lives at home while studying) has absolute melt downs around the time of her period and and verbally attacks me about anything and everything, completely over exaggerating and catastrophising. I used to argue back but I have learnt to try to stay calm and she is still just as bad, she says really nasty hurtful things and then apologises a few days later. Does anyone else experience this? I’m wondering how much I should blame on the ADD?

People with ADD have a higher than average chance of suffering with PMDD - do the symptoms sound familiar?

Thanks @jlpartnerrs that’s really helpful. I will talk to her about it when she’s in a more approachable mood.

About a week after she went nuclear.

It must be really horrible for her as well as for you.
