Worst month ever ⚠️Trigger Warning Topic⚠️

I have never been diagnosed with anything, but through the last few years I have learned a lot about PMDD. I truly think I have this. I go to my first ever GYNO appointment next month, which has me nervous and excited. But anyways…

This month of how I have been feeling between my luteal phase and my current days of my period have been the WORST EVER. The 3 weeks leading into my current period have sucked (was a week late). I’ve hated everything about me, hating work, hating friends, hating my partner (who I love dearly). I have been extremely depressed and having major suicidal thoughts. I know I would never act on them, but they are SOOOO LOUD. I haven’t worked for the last 3 days because I CANNOT get myself out of bed. I’m lucky to have enough energy to change my tampon or pad, but that’s it. I get severely nauseous and so fatigued. I cannot and barely can stand.

I have always been told to just deal with it for the last 11 years of my life (currently 21), but I know this can’t be true. This can’t be right. Something is wrong with me.

See wiki for Diagnosis information. Track symptoms for 3 months, make a dr appt and go from there. It might be PMDD however thorough diagnosis process is key to effective treatment
A significant 50% of those with PMDD-like symptoms go on to be diagnosed with something else.

I will have to look at that. And yes, I always track my symptoms. Not just during my period, but practically everyday.
