I have been diagnosed with it and have struggled with it for years now. I have trouble figuring out what is me and what is the disorder. I hate that I even have a disorder. It makes me feel horrible and weak and bad about myself. People say, You make yourself this way because you believe that you have no control. So then I question how much control I have. This has been the hardest thing I have ever d...

I'm 24 too and my long-term relationship has just finished because of my PMDD. 2-3 weeks out of the month I am unable to reason with, emotionally in a dark, dark place and have no control what so ever over myself. My boyfriend saw me as selfish, hating towards him, unreasonable, stubborn, short-tempered etc etc etc. We talked about it sooo many times, and I kept promising I'd be a better girlfriend. Then the PMDD set in and I am back to being a monster again. We have...

We have a wonderful relationship. I am the kind of guy that gives my girlfriend space when she needs it, a guy who puts HER needs before mine. I respect her, treat her right and look forward to a long and happy life together. Each month right before her period, she gets really depressed and has pretty much all the symptoms of PMDD. I let her know that I am here if and when she needs me. Basically, I let her come to me. I don't want...

I just got my zoloft for my pmdd switched to lexapro. One of my drs wanted me to change because of my thyroid. I have been on the zoloft for years. Its been hard to adjust some things re good andsome are not so good. I don't know wy I did it but my mind told me to go off my birth control. The bad thing about that is I'm worried about my pmdd.
