[TW] How do you prevent PMDD from affecting your relationships?
TW: Violence
I haven't been professionally diagnosed with PMDD, but I do suspect I have it since most of my behaviour aligns with the symptoms. My emotions switch to roller coaster mode about two weeks before my period. Sadness and anger are often my main emotions on rotate, which has jeopardised almost every aspect of my life. It's gotten to the point where I've physically and psychologically my loved ones.
I don't want to hurt people, nor do I want to be a bad person. Maintaining healthy relationships with people I love has always been difficult for me, however I feel like this is holding me back. I want to be at least somewhat in control of my actions as I am easy to lash out whenever I'm nearing my period. It's not fair on others or myself as a matter of fact to be endanger the sanctity of the bonds I hold with people purely because I am unable to control myself.
I'm hoping someone on this subreddit has or is experiencing something similar to this, and I really need help at the moment.
