Yes, I also have severe pms. I'm pretty sure it's pmdd (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) even though I've never been diagnosed.

It's been bad this week. Really anxious over nothing, insomnia, depressed, wanting to cry, obsessing over everything, irritable, etc. When I was younger, I used to quit every job I had about 2-5 days before my period just because I "didn't want to be there". Then I would cry and freak out because I had no income anymore. I figured it out four years ago those feelings were probably due to my pmdd.

There are things you can do to help your symptoms.

Like another poster said, a good diet will help. Staying away from sweets and caffeine in the last 2 weeks before your period will also help. Exercise, being social, and practicing mindfulness, too.

You might want to keep your symptoms in a journal for the next couple of months to show to your doctor if you want a diagnosis. I believe this is the only way to test for pmdd.
