PMDD and BPD depression?
I’m a 24 year old who over the last year has started to really struggle with PMDD. I take Fish oil capsules, vitamin D, antihistamine, Lexapro, Vitamin B12, I sleep well, I go to the gym 3x a week. I do tons to combat it. I’d like to mention for anyone struggling that some months I do notice an improvement and I recommend all these things. I am also in therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder. I was wondering, does anyone else with BPD have their symptoms become 1000x worse during their luteal phase? Or does anyone without BPD experience what I do? When I’m ovulating I’m almost manic, hypersexual, I experience limerance and am full of energy. But during my luteal phase I become like a Zombie- exhausted, apathetic, I lose hope in everything, lose motivation, I start to believe I’m genuinely a complete waste of space. I also can experience extreme rage/suicidal ideation. This week is one of those rarer times when I genuinely can’t leave my bed and I have an exam tomorrow! I’ll be fine, I’ve written notes, but all I can do is lie in bed and listen to Adrianne Lenker. The emptiness is unbearable! Does anyone experience this?
