PMDD and toddlers

Hi all, I'm new to this group! I'm a mum to 3 year old twins and had PMDD for about a year bur diagnosed a few months ago. Why does PMDD turn me into the mum I really don't want to be, the raging, shouting, anxious, crippling thoughts that make me wonder why I'm a mum. Has anyone got any simple tips for managing this? I've recently cut out all caffeine and I've had 3/4 months really positive, been able to stay calm and be the mum I want to be. But this past month I just feel the darkness coming back and I'm just not ready for it to overtake my life again!

I’ve been taking prenatals and it helps with about 50% of the symptoms but you have to cut out caffeine and sugar completely and that’s what Ive been struggling with .. doctors can prescribe meds for it but I prefer to take the natural route with vitamins… I might actually end up trying medications eventually if the prenatals don’t help me anymore

Sometimes prenatals don’t help either because stress can trigger pmdd and make it worse
