PMS worse since having baby 2 years ago?

[KateEC91]

Hi,
Just wondering if I’m alone in this because I feel completely insane.
Pre-baby I knew I was close to getting my period as I would get road rage the day before.
WELL. Since having my baby I would say I have one week where I feel normal. The week before my period transforms me into the hulk.
To give examples… I scream into pillows with rage at the tiniest things, have little patience with my childs tantrums, find everything/everyone annoying and do pathetic stuff like… the hoover tube fell out of its holder so I launched it across the room. A piece of clean washing falls on the floor when I’m taking it upstairs and I slam a door. I could happily punch walls, doors, break things.
I just want to add that despite the above, I’m a very normal, calm, patient person normally but this transformation is really getting me down. It makes me a misery to be around. As soon as my period starts I balance out until I ovulate which slowly starts the downward spiral to day 21 when I basically lose my sh*t for a week.
Can anyone relate or am I just a complete nutcase? :(
I’m taking starflower oil (for 4 weeks) but it isn’t doing much :(

Yep! I have PMDD since having my second. I've come to realise that when people say that your body changes after having a baby, they really mean it and they don't mean just looks wise.
One normal week, one shit week, 2 weeks to recover, round we go again. Sertraline for 2 weeks out of 4 is an utter utter godsend for me if you're lucky enough to have a progressive and proactive GP. Wish I'd started it ages ago. Now am pregnant again, the relief!!
