Struggles with hormones during periods

Hey everyone, I am someone who has always struggled for about 2 weeks of the month on my period - I highly suspect that I have PMDD but that isn’t something you can really get diagnosed with where I am from I don’t think. 

I have the coil, am on SSRIs and have tried the pill on top of the coil, but nothing seems to help. I feel like I am basically starting from square one every month with my mental health and trying desperately not to ruin all of the relationships in my life. 

I know there is a high co-morbidity rate with autism and PMDD, and I wondered if anyone has any tips or tricks with how to deal with it, or any advice. Also might be nice to just know I’m not so alone in dealing with all of this!

  • I feel so blessed to be post menopausal and that I don't have to deal with this stuff anymore.

    If I had to do it all again, I might try traditional acupuncture and see if that helped as I don't think doctors really know what to do apart from messing about with already messed up hormones.
