Warning: female sensitive material

Aside from generalized anxiety and depression, I have what’s called PMDD(pre menstrual dysphoric disorder). This basically means that before and during my period my anxiety and depression are through the roof. I started birth control a bunch of months ago to regulate my period and this helped a lot. I haven’t had issues in a long time. This month however, I accidentally skipped a pill(which I have done before) and got my period in a really harsh way. Aside from the classic period symptoms which I haven’t had in a while(sorry to brag), my PMDD is in full force. And it’s worse than usual because I’m quarantined at home with just my parents. I don’t know what to do. If I tell my mom that I’m experiencing this, she’ll probably tell me to get over it. But I think she’s already started to get suspicious. I’m just done.
