Ok ladies, these are geared towards you. Anyone uncomfortable with PMS and birth control talk, go back now.


I have wondered if your PMS is horrible like mine, beyond the regular irritably and fatigue. I straight up want to die. I am exhausted, headaches, easily overwhelmed, depressed. I hate everyone. Everything and myself. At what point is it more than PMS?

And then, what birth control do you use? I have tried several hormonal brands and all throw me into a spiral, even when on mood stabilizers. Even ones that were supposed to be low dose or good for bipolar made me have episodes almost immediately. Maybe I can't take anything hormonal?
