Birth Control gave me PMDD like symptoms?

SO Back in May I started taking the birth control Taytulla, but as I got closer to my period I got more and more headaches and in the end it was unbearable so i stopped taking it. But (and as people warned me) I have been having funky symptoms for the past 3 months since that time. At ovulation I change into a completely different person. I'm way more anxious, Im depressed, I hate everything, I cry over tiny things, my anxiety is just a million times worse. My therapist assessed my symptoms and said I sound like I have PMDD. But she also said that since I recently stopped birth control that this could happen? Has anyone ever heard of that? She said to wait till the end of my third period after stopping birth control to really act on it. I'm coming up on my third period right now and over the past 2 days ive finally felt like me again. My anxiety feels a lot more manageable and it just seems like its ok and this ovulation cycle has been a lot more managable unlike the last 2 periods i had? I just wonder if this has ever happened before to anyone?
