Yeah I know all about that. For years I thought something was really wrong with me. I would be really depressed
or really angry
the week or so before my period. it was awful I would get so angry I'd just explode
or I'd cry all week uncontrolably
. Finally discovered I have PMDD (PMSx10) It was really making my life miserable I lost friends over it and my poor husband took so much abuse. It affected my job and every part of my life. I just stayed away from people.
I started taking Estroven about 3 years ago and as long as I remember to take it every day the symptoms stay away. I's a miricale for me. I'm so much happier and lesss tressed out and I sleep a lot beter. I also have a lot less anxiety. I used to have terrible axiety and panic attacks.
PMDD is complicated but it is mainly that I don't make enough progesterone which you make at the part of your cycle right before you menstuate and it makes you feel all happy and good about things. Since it is not there when estrogen levels drop it sends me into an emotional spin and can be really scary and make you feel like you have mental problems.
It was such a relief to find out I was not going crazy and to find something that made it better.
