PMDD feels awful, and I’m so glad for you that you’re on your way to feeling much better! I suggest that you speak with a therapist who not only understands this condition, but one who can help you with a whole plan of action. Medication may be part of the answer, but you also need to understand your feelings and know how to educate those closest to you about what PMDD is, what will help you and what will not help you. Once you have some tools for coping through the tough times, you’ll feel more in control. Hopefully the therapist can also suggest specific nutrition and other simple, natural healing for you, since the cause of the PMDD needs to be addressed as well, and an antidepressant doesn’t do that.
