@A MyDepressionTeam Member you may be experiencing uterine depression, do you get more symptoms than depression? And what is your depression like, I can understand its more than just the blues. Thank you for having an open dialogue with me.

Oh yes... anti-depressants do not touch it for me, I can't even leave the house, I have to take time off work monthly. It starts with or just before ovulation, severe sadness, suicidal thoughts, hours of crying.. the next couple of days are sad like emotional tourettes then couple if days of irritability then rage... the depression that comes with PMDD can be psychotic. I have not had hallucinations but the way reality is viewed during PMDD and what actually is causes me great dysfunction with family friends and personal relationships. It's very negative all together. Then pain and migraines start with menses, atfterward a couple more emotional days. So I'd be lucky to have a week and a half out of a month that was good. For the fact I can track it on the calender and I don't get the high just the low, It's similar to being bi-polar. I also have major depression and anxiety. All needing separate treatment.
