I think I might have PMDD. Right before I get my period, I get so angry at nothing. Just someone breathing loudly can make me get so mad that I want to hurt myself. I feel like I have no control over my emotions during those days, and I get dangerously depressed. However, once I get my period, after about 3 days of feeling suicidal, I start feeling better. What type of doctor do I go to for help? What treatments are available? Does anyone have advice for how I can regain control or at least stop accidentally hurting those around me?

To seek help for PMDD, you should consult with your primary care physician or a gynecologist. They may prescribe antidepressants, hormone therapy, or suggest lifestyle changes to help manage the symptoms. Some non-medical coping methods include practicing mindfulness, reminding yourself that your emotions are due to hormonal fluctuations, and finding activities like music, coloring, or writing to work through your feelings. It's important to communicate with those around you about what you're experiencing and consider seeking professional help to better manage your emotions during this time.
