they say that pmdd is just a severe form of pms. the main difference seems to be "it interferes with your life" more. but at what point does it really count as interfering?

almost every month, i feel like i'm crawling out of my own skin. i'm irritable, i get teary (at the least. i often end up full-on bawling), i feel pathetic, i can't seem to get motivated to do anything, sometimes my sleeping patterns are a little off, sometimes i gain a little weight/feel bloated, i feel overwhelmed/anxious about things, minor things that would normally not be a big deal are suddenly a lot harder to handle..... IT REALLY FUCKING SUCKS. i don't know what else to say except it really fucking sucks.

has anyone here been diagnosed with PMDD or know more about it?? i don't know if it really matters if i have it or not though, considering the treatment seems to just be antidepressants (and i'd rather not go on antidepressants) ...

I don't know what that's like.  I don't really get pms.

I dunno, I just remember in the commercial about PMDD, the woman forgot her keys a lot. Do you misplace your keys when you've got PMS?

I just think PMS affects some women more than others, but there's no reason to call it a different name.

1. saying "just chill" right now is kind of like telling someone who is clinically depressed to "just snap out of it" -- it's not really in my control

2. i totally would go smoke a bowl! hah. but i just got my wisdom teeth out and i don't want the smoke to fuck with my mouth healing.

If you're suicidal, please see a therapist.  No one wants to hear your rants.  KK THX


well, to clarify:

i'm not suicidal.
and i'm just trying to get more information and insight about PMDD.

There is lots of information on PMDD here:
http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/depression/pmdd.asp

I too think I have PMDD, and it's a shame that no one seems to be taking this subject seriously.  I have the same symptoms as you, including suicidal thoughts, and it is not PMS, but also not a full mental illness, it's PMDD.
