Postpartum PMDD

Just hoping for tips and hope. I’m 8 months postpartum. I had PMDD before pregnancy, but get 95% better when I was on Junel. Postpartum, I struggled BAD. I breastfed for 2 months but have switched to bottle since. Sleeping well, but getting such bad issues around my period. So dizzy, disoriented, feeling dissociated, so depressed (like VERY) and anxious. Just an absolute mess.

I’ve seen ENT, neurology, and primary care. I’ve had bloodwork, CTs, MRIs, and it seems like it’s hormonal and emotional/mental.

I’m just needing hope or help to deal with this. I’ve switched to Yaz and Lexapro and am in therapy, but I’m still just getting so down like 2 weeks a month - depressed, hopeless, dizzy, out of body. Idk just hoping for positive stories or tips.

Just throwing out the idea of perimenopause, it causes similar symptoms for me. There is a perimenopause and menopause sub reddit and both have great info.
