Hey there everyone,

I have been diagnosed with PMDD otherwise known to a lot of people as severe PMS. PMDD is a condition called Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. I already suffer from depression so having PMDD just makes it 10x worse, i never really knew about this until i looked it up and it all made sense. I always feel very down right after Ovulation and i get symptoms such as; Cravings, abdominal bloating, mood swings, depression and fatigue. My family always made fun of me saying i only have 1 weeks of being normal after my period and honestly all jokes aside it is very true. The route to subside the moods and the depression is to go on Anti depressants which i refuse to do, i didn’t go on them when i was diagnosed with severe depression.

I do not have anything against Anti- depressants or the people whom take them but its just not the route i want to take, id rather take a natural approach to it. I have heard that Evening Primrose Oil will help with the emotions and of course other benefits that it gives. Does anyone else know what i could do, or shed some more light on this subject?

Blessings
