I do not have this.  I am post menopausal which has its own set of issues to content with. Like trying to grow old gracefully for one and trying to deal with all the changes your body goes throught during this time in a women life.

I haven't been diagnosed with it, but my anxiety gets worse before and during the time, it's about two weeks for me too.

Hi mjsmith,
 
I know how it is to have pms I've had it for years, and have been going
through perimenopause for the last 7 years! When I feel the mood swings
coming on I try to find something to do that I like weather it's reading
a good book or walking on the treadmill or getting outside if the weather
allows, it lets me kind of regroup and I don't snap as much at the family.

I don't know if I have pmdd...But I do know I have these mood swings tied into my periods... I get so anxious and sad and depressed. A long time ago I put in place mechanisms to try and deal with it. Like I try not to beleive anything I think because I know it is the hormones talking. I also challenge my thoughts knowing I would think differently if it wasn't this part of the month. Oh and I make no important decisions unless they can't wait and if I do have to I do it with great care! Anyway, all this to say I feel like a total nut case some times of the month! And I don't think I have PMDD, so I can't even imagine what it must feel like to have it! I think those who have to deal with that are very strong and brave to deal with this. My hats off with all those of you who live with this. -Diva

Thank goodness this comes only 2 weeks out of the month...a brutal 2 weeks or so, but a hard 2 weeks.

It's like PMS, but more involved. It's called Premenstrual Dysporic Disorder. The symptoms of PMS are more pronounced, especially the anxiety and depression.
