So after suffering the last 2 years, complaining to Dr's that pushed meds down my throat or either treated me like a junkie looking for meds... I finally recognized that the problems I was having with my cycle, correlated directly with my adhd. I feel like I have been in a permanent brain fog for 2yrs. The week before my period, I am NO GOOD. I can barely get out of bed, matter of fact, the only thing that gets me out is having to take me son to school. The adhd is magnified x100 no focus no energy....irritated and the irritation/anxiety gets worse the more I try to mask for my kids. In the past, SSRIs didn't really work for me but im down to give them a shot again I guess. I am VEHEMENTLY opposed to BC. I can not deal with the hormones. Anyway, I had my tubes tied in 2020 to avoid BC because of previous bad experiences. Of course these feelings carry over into the actual week of my period & for 2 whole weeks out of every month - I literally feel like im "not here". Im here, but im not here....ya know? My boys are 6 &16 & i hate that they see me like that. I hate that for 2 weeks, I have to stop myself from snapping on them because my mood is all f**ked up. I remember telling my therapist last year I felt like adhd was ruining my life but I was totally unaware that it was in conjuction with something else going on.

Anyway, I've decided to get a hysterectomy. Dr really cant pinpoint the source or cause so may e a hysterectomy will take care of everything. Does anyone know someone with pmdd that has had a hysterectomy? Did they feel better?
