Exactly I struggle with this so happy I found this video

Exactly

I was just diagnosed with PMDD and now I'm going to take Lexapro so excited to see how it goes! I really wish I could be normal for one entire month for once.

@@ishbautista1941 how did it go? I'm trying to eat healthy without meds, this whole stay at home thing has made me crazy!

@@bluehope4143 I went off the meds after 2 weeks of feeling weird on it. Might switch pills when i'm ready again. But lately exercise, omega 3 and evening primrose oil everyday and cannabis at night has been helping!

This makes me feel so validated

Same. I'm 44 and beginning menopause, and I always thought these symptoms were normal PMS and that PMDD is very rare and extreme. Literally this week, I'm beginning to wonder if I have PMDD because of the way my moods swing. I can feel my mood change from happy to su!c!d@l within a few hours. I can feel it switch off, too, and I go back to my generally-happy self.

same, I'm 13 and I finally got diagnosed today after dr after dr said it was normal for it to be bad

@danagricken4197 same, I was even told by my doctor to grow up 🙄

This is what I’m scared if. No dr believing be, I’m so sad 😢

kaykay12152 THIS!!

Woah. Relate so much😤

That's a good way to phrase that. Thank you

kaykay12152 exactly. i hate this

kaykay12152 YES

As/is is a buzzfeed channel

You both are so strong. My periods got bad but I couldn't imagine this. Keep on keeping on though. You got this!!!

Reese Regan Right! This is so helpful, and is literally the perfect description of what it feels like to struggle with this.

Augusta Falletta I was diagnosed with PMDD in November 2017. I honestly thought I was insane, like truly off my rocker, with my mood swings and horrendous cramps. Thank you for making this video Augusta! 😊❤️

I left almost the same exact comment as you, it’s so nice knowing that other people are out there. I wish this was more widely publicized about.

I have PMDD in addition to other mental illnesses, and it's always a guessing game as to which thing is screwing with me when.

John Myers low serotonin levels cause the depression but they don’t know how this links to the menstrual cycle and they can’t explain the other severe symptoms. Also treatment isn’t effective as many women with PMDD don’t suit the contraceptive pill or antidepressants ect

Yes, please yes. Do more research, develop more treatments, that would make the lives of me and so many other people infinately better. While I'm waiting though, I'm going to use what knowledge and treatments we have currently available, cus I can't just wait for something better.

RoseCcy, no, low serotonin levels don't just cause depression. I'm fact most issues and symptoms are directly linked, including physical ailments. Maybe you should do your research. The woman speaking in the video said that she basically dropped all medications (due to side effects) but the only meds she said she dropped was only hormone based birth control, which is not the only option. For a person that makes themselves out to sound smart, consider next time that mental illness and hormone levels can cause a wide variety of health problems, especially physical health problems such a brain damage and internal organ failure. Pms already causes problems to begin with but Pmdd screws with body nearly 4 times as much as pms. Even the digestive system takes a beating with pmdd.

John Myers Fact is, they don’t know what causes PMDD and they don’t have effective treatments

John Myers You’re not a specialist doctor in PMDD, the specialist doctors are just scratching the surface with their knowledge on PMDD. otherwise there would be effective treatments and people wouldn’t be suffering !!

yep, right on the clock as the bleeding starts, the clouds fade away. It's heaven every month

Same way here... So weird!!

Im so glad I found this, I go through this every month. I felt like I was going crazy, the worst part is my boss is the one that diagnosed me.

Mine lasts throughout my period 😔

@@kaylasheppard7746 mine too 😢

:( I am sorry. I am with you...

It made me fail many big important exams in university. Very bad

This is late but I feel you. I lost many friends and I'm just with my boyfriend who supports me all the way :(

Ain't that the fucken truth. During PMDD I HATE my boyfriend. I despise him. I think he's the worst person ever. I think I'm going to have to figure out a way to deal with PMDD when it strikes. It literally feels like every terrible thing I feel is the Truth too.

I identify with this post. My marriage is on the edge of divorce largely because of PMDD.

Same. I cannot be around people

You don't know how much your comment made my day no made my life ❤️ I would have never associated those symptoms with my cycle. Your comment gave me so much more clarity. I hope things get better for you.

I feel you. I have this monster on me 2 weeks before and after periods.

*hugs* totally get you, me too

The thoughts I have about my husband are scary.

I can actually kill. I not only have suicidal thoughts but I have thoughts on killing someone.

Same, i don’t care how I treat people and I just have so much rage. It’s scary.

Brianna Dawn I agree

I hate myself for this, but I immediately thought of Aladdin.

Brianna Dawn yeah

The solution is to become vegan !! Or decreaaaase the quantity of animal products ingested

When I’m experiencing PMDD I’ve noticed the best thing for me to do is shut up. Shut up shut up shut up. I get reeeallll quiet those 3-5 days. BF makes me angry I do not react (when it’s over I realize I don’t even know why that made me mad) get a text from a superior that pisses me off, (I change the topic. Later I realize it wasn’t even that bad). Someone texts me hey you there (my anxiety tells me something terrible has gone wrong, I force myself to respond with a normal hi). Someone says something that offends me (I don’t defend myself because the viciousness I would release in retaliation would be beyond all bounds and a totally disproportionate response. Usually when real me comes back I realize it wasn’t even worth getting angry about.) it’s so hard though. And the worse part is it comes around again the next month.

Rage is my most severe symptom 😣

So much guilt for not being able to be who I truly am and how I affect those who I have to be around 😢

Evening primrose oil capsules help ! I am so grateful for them and pain relief Evening primrose helped regulate my moods. 3x a day 1 week before period too your period ends and then I just take 1 a day every day etc. Helped regulate my mood breast pains etc I’m so thankful for it I can’t live without it.

I'm also 39 with 2 kids and have pmdd. Being a parent is the hardest thing when going through pmdd, I hate who I am for 2 weeks of every month!!

It’s such an intense rage too, I could burn the world to the ground sometimes I get that angry with it.

Aw man I remember feeling all of that last year, the rage was the worst! Even dropping my spoon made me lose it. I hope yours gets better as mine did!

Bless you. My period is next week this cycle has me just my wits end. I start a new job tomorrow, I'm a bridesmaid in my sister in law's wedding Friday. I just started my 1st day of class after 10 years, last week. And I keep blowing up angrily at my husband. I feel more than overwhelmed. I feel like this cycle of happy-depressed will never end. I just wish there was a cure.

Aymia Sims what helped yours get better if you don’t mind me asking?

Colleen Clothier this is me in a nutshell 😫

You've described me! It's all new to me as mine only really started a few months ago, after having my son and lots of stress. Been to see a hormone specialist who's advised I take hrt. If anyone wants to have a chat about if they feel alone with it then please do message me! I feel very isolated at times xx

The rage is intense. I also get very quiet and don’t talk to people during that week to avoid setting off. I’ve rage quit so many jobs too, some I actual liked. It’s a nightmare. Lucky I can sometimes sense it coming so take myself away for 5mins at work too calm down.

Omg, same! I’m at the end of my reproductive years and just realizing why I’ve suffered all these years.

​@@pumpkinlyd4409my wife gets very angry and tries to come at me in a confrontational hostile manner and it makes me get very reactive, what date of the month does these moods occur on? It seems like with her it's around or on the 15th of the month, I can use some advice 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Same here. Im a student rn. Final year student. Really really hard to focus and get things done within the timeframe. I lost my close friends. Sometimes just hoping my world to come an end .

Gonna go to my gyno soon to see if I have pmdd,bit pretty sure I do..o have all the symptoms of it,bit I also have clinical depression,so I'm wondering if the depression exuberate my symptoms symptoms..

Exactly!!!! :'( hard when your own family doesn't understand.

I just started Prozac, so-- we shall see 😵🌸

Hi ! I’m about to start Prozac as well for my pmdd. Could you please let me know how your experience with it has been long term ? Any help is greatly appreciated 🌸

@@jbunny369 it’s an adjustment, you may gain weight. Depending on how many mg you are on, I found it’s hard for me to take 20mg at a time so do 10mg in the morning and 10mg at night. It’s helped so much. Any more questions don’t hesitate to ask. ❤️ hope you find relief

Sweet Beans Because it's a form of PMS and often times when you try to talk about it you get brushed off because "that's normal during PMS, just take some midol"

Thanks for the support. I believe because PMS just recently in the last 30 yrs began getting recognition, but it's still highly skeptisized. A different more aggressive form is less likely to be acknowledged.

@@adoramae5436 omg I hate that PMS doesn't make one rageful, and depressed to the point of suicide.

@@adoramae5436 Yooow!! Right! People be like, ' we're women too. you must be exaggerating Wow!! my ex ever told me" it's all in the mind" lol

Probably because people assume you are exaggerating.

Yes me too

It's the Progesterone levels that you need to monitor. As soon as the period starts you should feel a release, call that day 1..Keep any intake of such as chocolate /sweet stuff, alcohol and salts away as this is what the cravings make you reach for and that just feeds the rising leves of Progesteron ready for the next "boxing match" !.. Replace the crave's with 3hrly snacks ( plus handbag supply to stop u grabbing chocolate etc on the go! ) with such as crackers to counter the negative sugar binges which are the wrong type of sugars and and make sure to balance with proper meals.. Keep to this regime so as to stop your blood sugar levels from hitting the base line which in turn decreases energy pushing you towards the crave type foods which aggravates the rising leves of Progesterone which causes the mood problems we dread. Be sure to keep a daily routine!.. By boxing clever this time, the peak's and trough's of Progesterone levels will be more manageable..

I’m glad you’re still here

Saaaame

Thank you for the tip about dairy 😊 I don't consume that much usually, my biggest uses are cheese and ice cream.. . I also relate to the pain, and medication not working. The cramps would go away, but mentally I'd be worse. This reminds me that I should be talking to my doctor again.

@@withlove2963 Sorry I took so long to respond but it makes my heart so happy to see you're getting help. Good luck with talking to your doctor!

Thank you so much I’m going to be ditching the dairy 💛

Fat dairy really worsen the pmdd while low-fat dairy improves the mood ! There are researches on the benefits of calcium supplementation for women with pmdd. I take myself calcium supplements and it really makes wonders on my mood !

Feña Carolina I would definitely recommend going to a trusted doctor. I had the same symptoms that you do and I was diagnosed. Birth control really helped me.

Shulamit Cohen i wish i could but now I'm living alone and in a foreign country where I don't speak the language. I will go to the doctor as soon as I get back to country in a few months

Good luck!

Shulamit Cohen thanks :)

Sounds like it. Try going to your doctor maybe with more women diagnosed they can make breakthrough treatments

Instead of prozac you could potentially try SAM-e or 5-HTP if you were looking for a more natural and healthier alternative

@@fineartlifestyling how do you take it? Just everyday or when symptoms start

Hey sakshi i can feel you there. I m lucky to have such a good boyfriend but now even he gets irritated with me. I m gonna a consult a gynae really soon . I m crying while writing this now i m on my last day. You are not alone in this. Take care.

I can feel you. My boyfriend is so wonderful, we've been together for 5 years and we've never gone even one day being mad at each other that's why it sucks when i get my period and i get so mad at the tiniest reasons that i threaten to break up with the guy who is the love of my life, in a normal situation i would never even think about it, he understands though and tries his best to not take my words literally before my periods but i can see it still hurts him and i hate it.

I suffer from pmdd and when I was dating my now husband, I told my husband about a week before my period I have a really rough time and if he can deal with that we're good lol...I am suppose to take prozac the week before my period but I noticed it makes my period irregular..I am trying to find more natural ways to deal with the symptoms...the symptoms I deal with are becoming overly sensitive, to like what seems like the dumbest things once I start my period, any form of rejection is crushing during that time, and being really irritated and easily agitated about the smallest dumbest things...once my period starts I'm back to normal

That’s me too

Nortriptyline 25 mg

I feel you 😭

that's true iny case too except for PTSD

Anyone who is reading these comments I hope mine will give you some clarity as this subject is shrouded in mystery and doctors know very little. While clinical trials and research is being done there is too much focus on it being a psychological disease. I highly recommend finding out more about Dr. Jorge Lolas, he is a pioneer and revolutionary in the field of PMDD. He is a gynecologist who studied cervical pre-cancer conditions in women and found a link between inflammation of the uterine or cervical tissue due to microbial or viral infection to be the root issue of PMDD. In other cases, it is beneficial to mention that inflammation in a woman'd body may also be a response to histamines in her diet which encourage excess estrogen production and mast cell production. The estrogen and histmaine overload causes inflammation and hence reacts with her hormones causing PMDD. Some womens' bodies are extra sensitive to histamines and the effects are toxic. Research estrogen dominance, inflammation, histamines, PMDD. These are all related back to inflammation in the body just as Dr. Lolas suggests. You will aslo find that this theory of inflammation relates to other female hormonal issues such as endometriosis, PCOS, and thyroid dysfunction. There is one common underlying thread with all these conditions and the remedies, supplements, diet that is suggested helps with all of these above stated conditions. Diet: low histamine diet, eliminate wheat and dairy, focus on healing the gastrointestinal tract. This will eliminate inflammation in the body and help with adverse PMDD symptoms. Supplements: Lyposomal vitamin C, vitmains B5 and B6, DIM (diindolylmethane), zinc sulphate in liquid form, probiotics (low histamine), SEROTONIN supplements: 5HTP, SAM-e DAO (Diamine Oxidase) - only if you have a deficiency of it SUGGESTED VIDEOS TO GET YOU STARTED: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMWTo9mYvLPSk30.html&frags=pl%2Cwn kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i62AoJN3zpi8qaM.html&frags=pl%2Cwn kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j96koriLt6uymI0.html&frags=pl%2Cwn kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frZdY9x41M2me6M.html Best of luck to you!

No, I think I'm the oldest at 38 (lol). I recently diagnosed myself with this! Read a list of 15 symptoms and every single one fit. Went to my dr and showed her, asked her for Prozac, which I've just started. I feel like this huge window of answers and understanding about a lifetime of "depression" just opened!

I’m 36 and i never experienced any of these symptoms until recently 🥺

I’m 40 and have PMDD but I just was diagnosed a year ago.

@Jennifer Diane It did help some but the weight gain and water retention was completely terrible. I ended up going to a naturopath and reducing all-over inflammation and that helped SO much!

@Jennifer Diane I was on the meds for about 6 months before I realized how badly the side effects were getting. I went to the naturopath and drank some anti-inflammatory shakes, changed my diet a bit by reducing foods related to the nightshade group, and worked on my sleeping schedule. Within my first cycle I saw a huge difference.

banana milk, well pmdd actually effects you a week to 10 days before. Had this video been more informative you'd have known this. Also, she fails to even mention that there's other treatments besides hormone based birth control. A proper doctor will send you to see a therapist or a doctor who specializes in mental illness before ever accepting you had pmdd in search of anxiety and depression disorders that can cause the same symptoms, again something she fails to do, slightly (she did mention she was doing therapy). Pmdd is based on serotonin levels, which are be combated by taking birth control pills or take serotonin based medication. Yes, diet and exercise are a way to help fight against pmdd it's not a end-all-be-all treatment like she makes it out to be. She was very enlightening to those that may suffer from pmdd but she's not a great spokesperson for this illness and will confuse more than she helps. Had they had someone here that actually specializes in this field to collaborate with her, then this episode might hold water.

banana milk same like, I looked it up and like I’m feeling all these things. But like I never knew it could be this. Ya know.

banana milk please don’t say it’s the end for you. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I don’t have it but I can tell it really really sucks 😢😢😢. I wish you the best and I’m here is u need to talk about it.

banana milk Same here

omg saaame. 😭😭 im usually hopeful and positive on a daily basis but suddenly out of nowhere i feel hopeless and sad and depressed and a few days after my period is coming in. i'm really starting to notice the pattern 😭😭

What is the treatment?

@@samahfabisiak5073 SSRI

So it’s not normal??? I think I’m going to get checked out then…

I hope both of you reply because I might be going through this same thing. Why can you not take hormonal birth control anymore? I think I have PMDD because I have all of those symptoms and I just recently figured out they appear before my period. Did the hormones affect you in something else badly?

Maria Diaz The hormonal birth controls for me, didn't do what I needed. I needed it to regulate my period and help keep my mood a little more reasonable. None of the options worked as well as Yaz for me. I don't know a scientific reason necessarily but I will recommend that you keep track of your symptoms and then take them to your OB/GYN. I wrote all of mine down for 3 months then went to the Dr. I think it took a lot of the confusion out of diagnosing because I had the pattern to show my Dr. Good luck to you! 😊

what if PMDD is a evolutionary trait humans evolved to have to encourage women to have more babies? it makes sense if you think about it - pregnancy means no period and no period means no PMDD

Carlita Bonita did your cycle get crazy after you had your times tied as well? Like super crazy extremely heavy and long and cramping like death?

I also take Prozac and have PMDD. It helps so much 😭

prozac and birth control were the only things that ever made my pmdd manageable

Carlita Bonita Goes to show how everyone is different. I tried Prozac and it made me worse! I hate that it’s is so trial and error.

Bstingbutterfly yes. No one told me that would happen. My hormones were worse, cramps/pain were debilitating blood and clots are way worse. I also developed cystic ovaries. The biggest first sign was I would be manic...very high highs and then quick lows. I would go from laughing to wanting to throw myself out of the car while driving. It was scary. Then I noticed that as soon as my period flow started I was completely normal. Like nothing had happened. I started writing down when I would have break downs or overly emotional with husband and fights. ..then when it went away. .and it was clock work 8-9 days before flow started.

i've had people say 'it's ok, i get sad too, i just go take a walk, that'll help you too!' i mean.. i can't even fathom getting out of bed & i'm borderline suicidal, but ok, 'a walk' will help 😒

I am the same way 😞

Did it get any better? And if so what did you do to make it better?

Tell them you have health issues... and it's true!

Wow u are not alone! I stay with in laws sometimes & i just have to go in the room away from them because i like to be alone. My guy knows how i am so i just like to be with him...but right now i had to go home because i just couldn't take it...all day in the house with his Dad (retired) i work from home. Just sucks i feel like everyone is fine but me. I get so sad before period. Then later after it comes im happier....😞 sucks dealing with this.

Lauren Wilde I'm definitely not a Dr. But I've have PMDD for a while and I never really experience any physical pain other than back pain sometimes. I have a harder time with my emotions during my cycle.

Lauren Wilde maybe try asking a doctor?

You can look at the diagnostic criteria for PMDD online and if you have 5+ of the symptoms, that’ll likely indicate you have it. Talk to your gynecologist about your symptoms! Either way, if you’re feeling helpless/hopeless at any point during the month, you should seek professional help.

I’d say talk to a doctor or a parent and see if you can get your symptoms checked out

Omg 😱 I have never even heard of PMDD but I experience the same things. I am a happy person normally but I experience severe depression 1 week before and continuing on while I'm on my period. I start over analyzing everything, start accusing people of things that aren't true, get super moody and emotional and cry daily sometimes. But I'm fine the rest of the month. This month has been the worst I have ever experienced. I'll be 38 this Wednesday and I feel like it has gotten worse over time. I seriously need to talk to my Dr. about this cause I just thought that was normal PMS. I'm so glad I found this video.

Hey, I hear you! It’s not a joke & I likely understand what you’re going through as I have these horrible symptoms. 💙

My PMDD as well as depression and anxiety I think was all triggered by taking the depo provera shot (once). It changed my life and I’m trying hard to get back to normal now.

My symptoms start during ovulation and again during pms. During my actual period is the only time I feel a bit of respite and actual /warmth/. What a backwards life I live.
