I am searching advice on whether I suffer from PMDD. Does anyone while going through the Ms. Jeckell/Hyde thing experience any feelings of anger that drives them to violent outbursts? I find that particularly around my period that if my husband pushes my buttons for instance that things may esculate to a point where I totally freak out and start hitting him. It has become quite severe, where I am afraid I will drive him to hit me back, and them ultimately drive us to separating. He tends to brush it aside, sometimes blaming himself for this happening, but I feel that something is not right in my mind. I started acting like this about 5 years ago. It just worsened, and I hate myself for it. We now have an 18 month old, and I really want to find an answer to this before it is too late. I want the best for my baby, and for my marriage, and if this behavior is indeed linked to PMDD I would like to seek help. Before all this I was a very easy going person, wouldn't harm anyone, but it breaks my heart that this happens. My husband and I have been married for almost 5 years, and he is my best friend and would never want to lose him over this, which I hope can be helped. Anyway, I have babbled enough, I was just hoping someone out there understands all this and maybe shed some light on my situation. I am hoping that this is the answer to why I act like this, as I feel that I experience most of the symtoms here. Please give me some feedback, it would be much appreciated! Thank-you
