How do you manage PMDD?

I use hormonal contraceptives , they have meant an enormous improvement in my life

I try to watch the amnt i eat of processed foods and sugary stuff a couple weeks before my period. For me, these foods tank my mood

I feel like this suggestion isn’t nearly as suggested as it could be - but I also know accessibility can be a huge problem. BUT, when I started going to therapy and getting help in address the mental health side of things, it helped me tremendously. I would argue that it’s the only thing that helped me (that I tried). I also have PCOS and take birth control, zinc, and inositol and those may help. But I didn’t start those until a few years after being diagnosed with PMDD.

Addressing it such as spreading the word about it?
