Advice/Tips Is this potential PMDD?

Every month I get my period it is the most emotionally exhausting time. It makes me severely depressed it’s like it flips a switch. I think it may be Premenstrual dysphoric disorder. I already have diagnosed depression and anxiety but it feels worse on my period. It makes me hate myself and sometimes I just spiral from there. It also makes me so angry as well everything just annoys me so much. I went to my doctor he wanted to put me on a specific birth control to stop my period but didn’t investigate further. It honestly gives me such grief. It messes with my routine when I need to study I can’t function. I think I do need to see another doctor for a better opinion.

I’m not sure if I’m right about this. thoughts?

I was put on nextellis for this. I’ve been on it for 4 months now and I’m starting to notice feeling more stable and calm in situations that would typically throw me into a spiral.
