Continuous seek for help me induce my PMDD

So yesterday, 2nd day of missing work due to my pMDD symptoms extremely kicking in. So as I know this may last quite few days, I know work is going to require doc's note plus I'm thinking let's give it a shot to try and get medical leave. Ha! I guess it's mostly my pmdd thoughts instigating this kind of letting me know-ahm I might stay a while this time around again so you might as well get something to excuse you from work to just stay home with me your truly beloved PMDD! UGH! Mind the fact I don't even want to go outside anyway-but I know I must do something I can't just let PMDD get me fired and get all the best of me. Plus good news I'm really excited about to go to the health store and get Maca Root ;) I'm surprised I haven't come across this before :-/ hmm well better ever than never. alright so I already have a scenario of how it's gonna go at doc's! Ha! It's not just something m thinking will happen, but I KNOW it will! So I go....and yep told myself Ha! Hate to tell ya, you were right! First I didnt even know where to begin, and those were the words I told doc. While I'm trying to compose my thoughts I could already tell he's inpatient and just wants to get on with it, so he can go to the next patient and make as much money possible for that shift. As I always knew this, hence was never a fan not supporter of this health business BS and their products! Anywho I play along, then I tell him "well here's the thing I have PMDD", he goes using his medical term-not sure what it was- but Essentially he's asking me what does that stands for?! I'm not even surprised as I mentioned I knew it wa going to go like this. So I tell him bla bla, and then I wanted to continue with my issue here. He cuts me off an goes "do you feel depressed" hahha I'm like "hmm, well let me put it this way straight up---I am not depressed!" then he goes " have you thought about antidepressants" I say "No! Because I'm not depressed!" then he's getting really impatient with me and says "well lets cut this discussion short" wow! Yep! That's why they all do now these days! Anywho then small talk about BCP, I try to tell him I was on it before and that's not my solution, he then pretty much rushes me out of the room and says come with me, and gives me 3 free packages of nuvaring. Ha! Wow! Easy solution, as he called it. Then he even makes a remark, "you're lucky today, these are free samples $135 cost or so, I'm thinking I wouldn't have bought them anyway even tho my insurances covers them anyway, but still I wouldn't have done it! So I go to the health store, super friendly staff I get my Maca root. Great, can't wait to try! In the mean time of all this few pMDD episodes with my fiancé go happen to not work that day as well as he all of a sudden had loss of vision in one eye. So he had to go to the optometrist. I tried my best to incorporate our day together and stuff, but oh no! I ended up getting upset accusing him of penetrating my pmdd cause he knows. Bla bla -not a good scene- and few other through out the day, gosh I hate myself when on pmdd but geez do I hate him even more ughhhh! I will do another post of all the symptoms and my feelings, thoughts.

My Forum about PMDD

Ok so i have been dealing with PMDD for about 10 years now. In my early early to mid twenties I wasn't aware I had it, only last 5 years I know I have it. It's been hell and back ever since and I have diagnosed myself with it and pretty much up to that point I had enough and wanted to live normal life and be me & happy, which my nature is. I went on Yasmin BCP for 2 years, and i can truly say it worked in treating my PMDD those were days when I was me  but harsh side effects hit me, loss of hair, weight gain. In the beginning I ignored but it became quite severe that it started to freak me out that then I couldn't recognize myself in the mirror and cried in the shower washing my hair, and many times i wouldn't wash my beautiful long hair because i was scared of how many strands gonna fall off so effortlessly. In any case I found out about B Complex and been taking it for about 3 years now. Stopped BCP after 2 years of consumption, but it was still in my system for a year after,which was until July 2011. I am still taking B complex 100, Evening primrose oil, fish oil and just started Vitex (women sense). I don't find that these supplements are helping much  I wanted to find out if there is any other Vitamins & Supplements that can help? My PMDD is kicking in again ever so much as before I went on BCP my life is falling apart again, slipping out of my hands, and I'm watching it slide. I cant bare to go to work I am devastated trying my best to cope but days feel so long and everything seems like a heavy burden. I cant deal with anything, I don't go to work and I stay inside my home all day-either blank or overwhelmed with gazillion thoughts that are so twisty, evil and super negative. Nothing is as it seems I know that but during that period I get EVERYTHING the wrong way. This PMDD is really evil, messes with my head, mental state and psyche UGH

PMDD forum

Ohhh it breaks my heart to know how many of us is really out there having PMDD ruining the chances of being happy.

But its all this stupid PMDD that takes control over our lives and ourselves that we become this weird person who is not us. Look this is a big issue ok, Im glad that you at least were able to get this started and realize that she has the case of PMDD. The timeline you mentioned worked exactly to point of her behaviour outcome. I have been with my fiance for 5 years now and we were really close friends before that, he's been going thru this with me all this time. And before i acknowledged i have PMDD it was terrible. I was acting exactly the same. I was in that denial that its all him, his faults and all that jazz. Blaming everything on him. After i diagnosed myself with PMDD i knew it was all me. Then things were lil different. So i think its very important that she realizes and acknowledges that she has PMDD and to read about it to know she's not crazy and only only one. As for you, if u really want to be with her, if you choose that then you must know that you will require a lot of patience and strenght to cope with it. for me PMDD lasts all together almost 3 weeks, so i only have about 1 week or so to be me every month and thats after the period starts. All that u mentioned so far is exactly what my fiance and i gone thru, Geez how many times i broke up with him....its embarrasing honestly. But he never gave up, and i think i'm blessed to have such an amazing guy that loves me that much to deal with all this craziness. I know its not easy, because when PMDD is kicking in i feel like he's my biggest enemy at times before. When I was on yaz which also i pretty much diagnosed my self with, things were better. BUT that was for 2 years until i had a case of really bad side effects from it. loss of hair, wight gain and loss of libido. Then i couldnt take it anymore, and decided to go off. Went off still was in my system for a year, with occasional PMDD hits....then since i've been trying to find natural remedies for it. Now its back pretty much full on, i didnt go to work 2 times this month already and we're only half way cause i cannot deal with it.....its too much, too much on me. When im not affected by PMDD i feel like i can do anything, i am happy i am full of life.....when pmdd is around i could care less about ANYTHING and I am a either evil person or very emotional. Mostly evil tho, like a monster total opposite of what i really am. the things i say and what goes on in my head is pretty horrific scene. I cant believe still to this day. Its like all twisted thoughts, and they're so exausting. Anyway ask anything you like ok, and take care and good luck. Again the main thing is you're willing to be there for her and provide support. But she needs to recognize this ok. So tell her please. And maybe when u guys are together bring up this website or others and read with her. Im sorry my thoughts are all over the place.

Seeking Help for PMDD

I am dealing with PMDD already about 10 years and thats as far as i looked, probably even more. But only about 4 years ago I also diagnosed myself with PMDD. Cause I was looking for answers I was researching myself why is this happening to me, and most important WHAT is it. I am by nature a happy person and very strong having PMDD hit me gets me out of control. ANd i like to be in control, so it even harder. I have been with my fiance for 5 years now. after 1st year of dating i diagnosed myself with PMDD. We were so good together like soulmates, plus we were best friends before we started dating.....but then my PMDD started to ruin it. At that time i was still in some what denial that I can deal with it, I am strong, nothing can take over me. But here i am still 5 years later and im still dealing with it. AFter the 1st year I also went on YAz, cause i did some research, and i went to docs told him i have PMDD (he never heard of it) then i just asked to prescribe me YAz.....and oh my i felt like it worked instantly. BUT........the side effects started hitting me about 3 mo after use. Loss of hair and wight gain errrrrrrrr and i always had a decent figure. So that was a big downer on me. BUT since yaz improved my hormone level balanced my mental state and feeling of well being....i could care all that much about the side effects. I ignored it by default. but all other areas of my life, relationships, work, myself improved and felt like it was all just the way it needed to be. BUt the wight gain and hair loss worsen .....its started to become really scary that i would cry in the shower how much hair i would be losing and looking at y self in the mirror was a disgusting scene. Anyway sorry i went on too much about the effects. Back to you. Pretty much all that you're going thru and experiencing with ur gf while PMDD is rocking her is the same as for my fiance. One min i want him to be like this, the next i want him to be like that, the next i don't want him to say anything, the next i want to leave him, the next i critisize the heck out of him....He did the dame thing tho....would fight with me....only to make matters worse. but even if he didnt fight i would find something to say that quite hurtful. Its hell for him i know. Poor guy he never knows how to be around me what to say what to do, cause i'll crush it all. And then there is days when its just all sensitivity . that i can cry about anything and those days if he's little too sensetive -like more than me-- that would bother me too. Absolutely everything bothers me. The only thing I cant tell you as an advise is> I can see that you really love her and you guys would have an amazing relationship .....so dont give up unless you lose it as well and cant take it. which can be understanding....but just be there for her support her in any way that u can. But please always acknowlege when she has PMDD (but dont like say it -oh its ur PMDD or hormones kicking in again/or u getting ur period) i know that irritates me. But just go along with what she say but in a CALM way , dont lose control and fight with her, casue trust me at the end of the day she will thank you and appriciate you even more and be thankful that she has you. If she says like don't talk, or leave me alone....give her space ....but be on the lookout and check up on her and stuff. In the begining my fiance did all the wrong things unfortunate for both of us.....but whatever now.....now he is so much more compassionate and carring....the thing is though my friend....when PMDD is kicking in keep in mind that we all turn into total opposites of what we really are.... There are these evil thoughts running our minds....its scary really. So we arent ourselves at all. And believe me she cannot say to herself-just control it- or anything else.....cause there is nothing she can do unless seeking further help and so on. Which honestly i havent done yet either. So i was on Yaz for 3 years .....then i could take it anymore-all the wight gain and hair loss---------OH and plus--------NO SEX DRIVE .....except for like maybe twice a month right after my period ends or so as i can remember. So then I stopped yaz June2010 and since i've been trying to find natural remedies and been taking few, but YAZ was still in my system until JUL2011. WOW! so until then things were still ok, somewhat manageable, but now the bitch is back in full, today id didnt even go to work because I cannot stand it, I cannot cope with the stress, My job i collections at a call center so go figure----I cant talk to people---are you kidding me....and on those days its really really tough......few times i left work in tears....i call in sick on days when PMDD is really bad...like today OMG. So i wanted to search if medical leave can be approved due to PMDD. So thats what i was doing and then came across your post. Well, i hope this helped lil bit.... ask me anything you can think of.... I am all over the place as im sure its visible anywayhttp://www.mdjunction.com/forums/pre-menstrual-syndrome-discussions/general-support/Itemid=217/func=post/do=reply/replyto=3266785
