Does anyone know about PMDD or suffer from it?

...See more Im 19 years old and Pmdd basically controls my entire life. My mother had it and i think my grandmother and great grandmother probably had pms. But none of them have it as bad as me, sometimes I think no one in the world has it as bad as me. The problem is there isnt really any way to fix it. You can take birth control or depression pills but both make me crazy too, in different ways. And both methods only eliminate half the symptoms, and usually give me other symptoms. When I hear girls complain about their period I just sit quiet because none of them have any idea what it feels like to have pmdd. I have a boyfriend, and after much explaining he actually understands it. He sees what I go through every single day. Its always a struggle. In a perfect world when I am not stressed, I only get crazy for about two weeks. But most of the time it feels like I never get a break from it. I use to work as a cashier in the mall and my till would always be short when it was around that time before my period. I still take birth control and i can see a huge difference. I cant say it didnt help a lot because it did, but when stress comes along, I still go nuts. I could rave forever about how pmdd has destroyed so much of me. The worst part is, I cant help any of it. I know things could be so much worse, I know when its my pmdd controling me but i cant stop it. its so hard to describe all of it because i keep thinking no one will ever be able to feel the way i do. The only people who really see it unfold are my mom and my boyfriend and sadly they are the ones who i end up hurting the most. Im sick of hurting the ones i love and myself. Im sick of feeling this way when i know i wouldnt feel any of this if i didnt have pmdd. half the time i dont even know who i am anymore. My relationship is suffering from this and so am I. I know there are support groups but most are very far away from my location and i just keep thinking no one will be my age.

...See more Hi, im new here. It took me so long to get on this site and its taking me even longer to find a listener. I just feel like no one will want to handle me. Im a very close-minded person I guess. I am extremely negative compared to a lot of people. I think poorly of everything. Im 19. Ive been having a really hard time getting things out lately. Never know where to start, then it just starts hurting horribly from bottling it all up. I dont believe in therapy or most medicine or a lot of illnesses. I dont pity people. I cant stand being weak or vulnerable. And i dont doubt that I will probably quit this site before i get a chance to try it. I deny having problems even though I know I do, and i cant figure out how to fix them. If you're a listener who is as open as you say you are, you will be open to me too, even if my opinions arent the same.. or Im stubborn or wont listen to advice. I dont need someone to tell me things will be better or its okay to feel the way I do. I just want to be heard, because my insides are screaming, and maybe get some answers on how to cope. Im scared to get the wrong listener and accidentally insult them. Im very sorry for being so picky. Thank you to anyone who reads this.
