So the last few months have been rough and always on the same days in my cycle. I downloaded a period tracking app a few months ago and suddenly the thing that I long suspected was becoming pretty obvious.. I have two good weeks a month and two not-so-good weeks.. then it peaks in the three days before my period and I cannot function!

I went to my local family planning centre today and got put on Yaz which I was told should help with PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder) 

I still need to follow their recommendation that I see my doctor about taking antidepressants for 14 days of my cycle. 

I've been seeing such extreme bpd like traits in my pre-menstrual days that I have hopes this combination will make things much more manageable.

Has anyone else here experience with this? Either PMDD or bpd symptoms really flaring up at certain times of your cycle?
