'I was forced to quit my job and haven't left my house since September because of my periods'
Like the sudden flick of a switch, her world becomes consumed by anxiety, despair and overwhelming sadness – completely out of the blue.
This unrelenting battle went on for years until Bethany finally put two and two together. She wasn’t anxious or depressed like all the doctors said. Bethany has PMDD. But with PMDD, common emotional symptoms stand out, including sadness or hopelessness; anxiety or tension; extreme moodiness; marked irritability or anger.
• Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is a very extreme form of premenstrual syndrome , which can cause many emotional and physical symptoms every month during the week or two before you start your period. It is sometimes referred to as ‘severe PMS’. • Physical symptoms of PMDD can include breast tenderness or swelling, pain in your muscles and joints, headaches, feeling bloated, changes in your appetite such as overeating or having specific food cravings, sleep problems, finding it hard to avoid or resolve conflicts with people around you, becoming very upset if you feel that others are rejecting you.
“I hadn’t heard of PMDD and I didn’t know it existed. I began realising that in the weeks before my period, I was getting very anxious and the anxiety made me think, ‘What’s going on here?’ But like the pill, the treatment only amplified her symptoms, leaving her in debilitating agony. “They told me to accept I have painful periods but I knew there was something wrong,” Bethany continued.
