What I'm asking is, what should I say to those I am closest to, if I am ever diagnosed with PMDD? I have never been diagnosed with PMDD, but I still would like to know what I should tell the people it may concern (boyfriend, parents, brother, boss, co-workers, etc.), so that they would not feel guilty or think they did something wrong. Should I say something like, "Mom, I've just been told that I have PMDD (that's an intense form of PMS). Please know that it is not your fault, and that you didn't do anything wrong. But please remember to be extra gentle and reassuring to me during the 1-2 weeks before my period."?
