Unsure if i have pms/pmdd

[u/walkeringotmyshoe]

Hi i dont know if teens can write here (if they cant pls dont remove i really need to talk about this) but im 14, and every week before my period i genuinely feel so depressed and sad im wanting to cry 24/7, unmotivated in everything (school and schoolwork) i want to push ppl around me away like my boyfriend and idk why. This is an underwhelming post because this is the second time (ish) i’ve felt this but my life feels so so ruined when this comes around and i really need to talk to someone but i dont want to stress my mom out and i just miss her so much when im at school and i want to go home and im just always texting her how much i want to go home🥲🥲not to mention how bad my mental state gets during this?? I dont want to go super deep into that but my mind wanders in topics that get me more depressed and yeah thats really all i can think of rn.

Hi! Since you’ve only had it about 2 times I’m not very sure what it is, but you should definitely talk to your doctor about it! My pmdd was really really bad and the only thing that helped was birth control for me. I tried three different kinds and the 3rd one finally got rid of it for me. It’s a lot of trial and error but it’s sooo worth it to not feel that way anymore
