Has anyone used progesterone cream.

[Vesna]

I have experienced almost debilitating PMDD for about 15 years. I've spent thousands of dollars trying to remedy this. I have explored so many possible causes for my bitter and angry mood swings, my mysoginy (sp) and just seeing the worst in people. I am fortunate to be able to live reclusively so that others don't wear my wrath. I have been suicidal on occasions and I even have a plan. I have been so hateful that I now hate myself.

I have researched PMDD for weeks now and have noticed a common thread which suggests that plastics in particular should be avoided, among 90 percent of the cosmetics and cleaning products on the market. I'm desperately trying to quit smoking and am slowly changing my diet, exercise and drinking habits.

 

I was told by a psychologist that PMDD is deeply rooted in a history of child sexual abuse. Tick. My mother hatefully resented me. . My dad used to tell my I was pretty. Mum hated it. Mum hated women in general.

 

Have any of you lovely women tried progesterone cream? What were/are your experiences? Men, do tell me how your lady partners have responded to it. I am anxious to get my life back on track and have a social life and boyfriend again.

I was only asking for help. Please.

Well you were asking for help from women. I'm not one. But if you go see a Doc there might be something they can prescribe for you that may help. I would quit worrying about plastic bottles and what your parents said or didn't say to you (I'm not dismissing it by any means) and seek medical help. Your suicidal thoughts in my opinion require immediate attention. You might start here From what little I've read about PMDD, I know it can lead to severe depression, and that's something i DO know about.

Really, I believe there is some one out there that can help you. You don't have to live like this. Good luck to ya

Vesna, I have suffered from PMS (probably PMDD) for most of my life. When I was younger (early 20s) I tried hormone treatment but I had side effects that I found unacceptable. So I did a lot of research and discovered the best way to get well is to look after yourself physically.

 

That means a very healthy diet and plenty of exercise. The more physically fit you are the better you will feel. I 'cured' myself about twenty years ago. I have never been able to overcome the depressive symptoms but I managed to considerably reduce them. I know if I don't look after myself for a month or two, my symptoms will reappear.

 

If you can, I'd steer clear of the hormones and just get yourself in tip top shape first. You have to be very strict with yourself but, believe me, it's worth it. If that doesn't work (although the chances are it will if you do it properly) then you can consider hormone treatment as a last resort.

 

I used a book called 'Beat PMS Through Diet'. It's an old one but you may be able to still get it through Amazon. Hope that helps.

you should check into vitamin deficencies.

I have severe depression and anxiety, and i have found several signs that i am lacking vitamins in my diet. they have a large effect on how the brain works and processes things.
