Does anyone else here suffer with PMDD?
4 years ago I had an endo diagnosis and partial removal: endo on pouch of douglas was left where it is as surgeon advised dangerous to start messing with bowel.
2 years ago I was diagnosed with depression which I thought was maybe due to the endo diagnosis.
Last year I had a miscarriage in July and have been struggling with PTSD due to what happened and what I saw.
This year I am realising one of the reasons I felt so happy when I was pregnant is because I wasn’t having a period; I wasn’t having any mood swings or insane thoughts for the first time in a long time. I was able to halve my antidepressants without any side effects.
It’s been a few months since the miscarriage and I’m feeling like I’ve come to terms with what happened now and I’m seeing a therapist who specialises in trauma. But every month, around a week before my period, I start to feel insane. Like I’m not real - it feels like the part that’s ME goes away somewhere and my body is just moving about on it’s own, or possessed by something weird and miserable.
After reading about PMDD I’m convinced this is what’s happening to me and I wonder if there’s anyone else out there who feels the same.
Thank you in advance if you read all this and if you reply. X
