Thread: PMDD

Does anyone suffer from this ? If so is it something that came on later in life or got worse that you were given this diagnosis? What are the symptoms , i have went on a read about it online, but would like some information from someone who actually suffers from it.

Hello. I believe I suffer from PMDD for sure from what I have read on the medical sites. I have EVERY symptom and then some! I have been keeping a journal for a few months now due to other emotions. I have depressiona and PTSD. But in reading back, I have the same feelings for about a week-2 weeks before my period begins. I have such loss of energy, tears, withdrawn, very anxious, easily to anger to the point that I can get some what violent but I do my best to refrain from it. I get to where I cant sleep well but could stay in bed til noon if I wanted. I can not concentrate on anything and my memory is like zip! My thoughts, frighten me...when Im angry I have horrible thoughts. I feel like Im in this bubble watching the world go on around me. I find it hard to laugh or smile about anything and if I do, it only last a few seconds to minutes. Im like the worst rollercoaster ride imaginable. I see a therapist every week. I tell him my thoughts when I feel like this, but basically we just talk them out. I do take Wellbutrin since 2001 for my depression. Anyone else have such symptoms that would be willing to share? Those of us suffering would love to know that we are not alone or going crazy!
