So lately I've noticed that in the days leading up to my period I am not just hormonal, but I feel like I'm utterly losing the plot- my anxiety ramps up to the point where I am physically sick, my heart is pounding and my skin is clammy, I feel paranoid and like everyone hates me, and at times I even feel suicidal.
I have a history of anxiety and depression so I am sadly familiar with suicidal thoughts, however this generally doesn't bother me in my day to day life anymore (tend to historically be linked to stressful and major life things) but its like my hormones pull all the absolute worst feelings right out from deep within me in the days before my period.
I've been googling and I think it might be PMDD- however would this be likely at this stage in my life (I'm 38)? Is it more like to do with pre menopause?
