Do any of you ladies suffer from severe pms/pmdd?

High levels of estrogen are great for boobies and feeling sexy...so long as it stays high. I have PMDD which basically means that I am mentally defunct for most of the month while my estrogen levels dip in preparation for ovulation (15-18 days before my period, I am a neurotic mess). PMDD is one of the main reasons why I have left or been fired from my past rat race jobs/ career ventures and why I am so fucking thankful for unconventional sources of income!
PMDD also means that even an activity as fun, productive, and rewarding as webcamming becomes more than I can fathom for more than half of my days. I am left to wonder if only being online for half the month, every month will hinder my budding webcam career. But best believe that I am going to kick as much ass as I can during my functional days to make up for it!

I had one of my worst PMDD spells in years today and I just wanted to reach out to any others who may have this productivity and lifestyle threatening disorder. If you do, here is a resource I stumbled upon, and I just thought I'd share.

It's a good place. And welcome to the forum, even though it's under bummer circumstances.

Thank yous, and although I wish you fine girls didnt have to suffer what we suffer, I am glad for the kindred spirit and support! While I had benefits, I was prescribed Effexor for my PMDD but it's basically adderall, and anything methamphetamine habit forming sticks to me like white on rice so I had to quit. I have turned to more holistic treatments such as meditation, and Qi-gong. Also, the occasional bong-rip lol. I havent had a day like this is a long time and I'm pretty sure its because I let my guard down and of course that left me vulnerable.

Yesterday was my last normal day, and that happened to be the day I started MFC! I had so much fun and did much better than I thought I would but now I'm worried that since its dark days for the next two weeks, I'm going to have to waste my new model badge. The guys seemed to love me though and they all expressed their interest in seeing me regularly. Perhaps I should update my profile to elaborate that I'll only be on for the first 13-ish days out of every month.
