It's so nice (and well not, cause I'd wish this on no one!) that other women suffer as I do. I thought I had gone mad, it's like one week a month I feel like my whole life is terrible. No one is good enough, I remember only bad things about people and situations. I get frustrated so easily, I've even yelled, threw things and just completely freaked out on my husband. I've told my friends to eff off cause I know they don't care. My anxiety goes through the roof, I feel out of control, I need to eat like every 3 hours. If I don't get what I crave, I freak out about that on my poor husband. Who is always very calm with me and gets me what I want, even if I yell at him I don't care and to not bother. Sometimes I get depressive feelings, and sometimes feel suicidal and sometimes even homicidal! Nothing I'd ever act on! Then, I get my period *poof* All better, and full of regret! It so strange. I've ruined my life in a weeks time. I was so glad to be diagnosed, even though it's hard to control my symptoms. I try to at least keep in mind I am PMDDing, warn all my friends/family, and try my best to either stay mostly alone, or not to argue until later. I try the exercise (which ends up pissing me off for some reason lol), I always eat healthy (but a little less because of my high sodium and cheese cravings). I tried birth control, and it made me act like I was PMDDing ALL MONTH! Tried anti-depressants, but that was a bad idea cause my doctor didn't seem to know it would set off my Bipolar Mania! Ugh! Although, I tried this HTP-5 "natural mood booster" and it actually seemed to work (and quicker than any anti-depressant!) The only thing I didn't like was that it gave me some minor stomach cramps and diarreah, and made me manic (when I took it all month) *sigh*. When I lessened the dose, and only took it a few days before and during PMDD, it seemed to be much better. It lessened a lot of the symptoms, they weren't completely gone, but tolerable. So I'd reccommend it to anyone to at least try it out! :) I know I'll try anything at this point! I didn't have any this month, and there was hell to pay. 0_o My poor sweet husband. I hope this helps someone!
