This is a tough question can answer. Can you be happy living with PMDD? Of course - when you're not suffering from it. Therefore, I cannot stress enough that you need a plan of action for coping with the symptoms, whether that be a diet that works for you, prescribed medication or something more agressive like having a hysterectomy. Otherwise you are looking at giving up up to half of a year of happiness to PMDD. Being proactive about your happiness and taking ownership of your life is the only way to deal with PMDD.

You will always be looking for a treatment to rid the symptoms. I've had it since I was 12, I am
now 24. I am learning to accept it as I am fed up of playing around with my hormones with different treatments which have not been confirmed to treat pmdd. You learn to accept the condition and work around it, plan activities if you can on your good days etc and you get fed up of explaining why your a different person one day etc. The sooner you learn to accept it the less you will explain. However, many others won't put up with it so you will usually only have close friends and family if your lucky

It's very hard to be happy with this condition because it seriously affects your mental health and causes very negative emotions to surge every month and after the worst of it is over you're left with the fallout of any negative behaviours.

You can live with PMDD by going to therapy and/or getting on medication to gain skills to cope with specific problems during that time; thus forth improving your happiness. It is only 1-2 weeks of the month, so you can most definitely be happy the rest of the months and if managed correctly, during PMDD week as well

Taking vitamin B6 change my life, now I feel a much more quiet mind. My problem is mainly the thoughts I have, they are not suicide but make feel bad about my decisions and relationships. I feel very insecure in that part of the period.
Also, be surrounded with people that understand you swinging mood helps a lot, and of course to be part of a group where you can share experiences.

The key to happiness with PMDD is to communicate fully with your partner, make sure they understand not only PMDD but also your symptoms/cycle. You need to put in place systems to manage paranoia and anxiety, for example on my bad days if I'm feeling paranoid about my partner I will look at my tracker and then set an alarm to discuss it with him when I'm not in a bad week (thus knowing it's a true feeling) also allowing yourself space to step back and manage the difficult days- communication with partner is absolute key!!

I could not live with it. And my family didn't deserve it. I was an absolute lunatic half the month and a guilty and depressed person the next.

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a condition in which a sufferer experiences debilitating depression, mood swings, insomnia and various other symptoms in the luteal phase of your cycle, which is after you ovulate until and sometimes after your period starts.[1] It usually disappears when the period arrives, or shortly after. It is more severe than the well-known premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and it can cause a sufferer to change the way they live so dramatically, that even work schedules and relationships are negatively impacted.
