Hi Bryn,

Well, seeing a therapist as you said you were gonna start doing might help you to recognize what's going on when you get PMDD and to control your thoughts and actions when it happens...I mean, I know you know you've got bad PMDD, but when it hits it's probably hard to think straight...if you learn to tell yourself when it hits that it's the fault of the disease, and not your fault, it might help you from going out of control as you said has happened.

But of course this does nothing to help with the pain you feel when it happens. I wish I had some good ideas on that. Hopefully a resident expert will chime in. Have you had your regular doc check hormone levels when you're actually experiencing the PMDD? What does your regular doc say anyways? It's obviously a hormonal issue combined with the depression you have in the first place. I think Phillipa may have some good ideas. And I'm also wondering about testosterone...women also need that hormone, but in lesser amounts...I know it's supposed to lead to a sense of well-being. But this is just me guessing b/c I am really bad with hormones, never could really 'get'them. I wish you luck in figuring it out.
Are you feeling better?
