Anyone else?

I don't know if this is PMDD signs. I am undiagnosed but keep seeing signs and symptoms within myself lately. I feel like I am just trying to survive each day. There is only around 1/2 weeks each month I feel okay. The rest of the time I am stressed, mind racing, overthinking outbursts of crying, impatient... the list goes on. I love my little boy but the days are so tough mentally sometimes. I feel like I'm just waiting for bedtime 🤦🏼‍♀️ I wish my mat leave was a happier time but can't seem to get out this rut. Not sure the point of this post but didn't know of anyone else feels like this. Why do women have to suffer with their hormones so much 💔

I would recommend talking with a mental health therapist. They can be so helpful when you’re going through something. I have used Talkspace

I identify with this so much 💔 it’s awful and makes everything so much more isolating. My cycles are all over the place and my period is completely unpredictable. This past cycle I felt like I was about to get my period every week and I’d have panic attacks and insane anxiety. But after my period came I felt better. I would definitely find a professional to talk to! I haven’t been diagnosed either and am frankly afraid of what the treatment would be as hormonal birth control has only ever made things worse for me 😞 I hope you get some answers and find a way to feel better ❤️ please feel free to message if you need to!

Thank you both ❤️ it's so awful isn't it @Meghan I honestly thought it was just how I was but since having my baby I've began tracking my cycles properly and really noticed what's happening to me. Been on BC since I was 18 so never known anything different and now I'm not on it I can finally realise what's happening. I am going to speak to a GP about this as I feel I can't carry on with the major lows then feeling fine 10 mins later. It's really starting to affect how I parent too so needs something done. Hope you are okay, sending hugs 🥰

I went through it too. Although I think I had baby blues instead. I was constantly crying, barely ate anything and just wanted to sleep whenever my son slept (which was a lot). It’s so hard because you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. But, as the months pass you will slowly feel better again ❤️❤️

I thought this was baby blues but it happens all the time, around the same time. My sons 8.5 months old now and still happening. It happened bad around 4 months pp and I spoke to HV and got people involved to talk to, but then I felt fine so stopped the help. Then it seems to rear it's head again 🥲
