Heidi describes some practical ways to help you know if you have PMDD.

-4 Signs you might have PMDD
-Symptoms that may indicate you have PMDD.
-Could it be something else?

4 Signs
1. Having a fight with a loved one once a month.
2. Having an interaction that leaves you feeling hopelessness, loneliness, that you weren't understood, anger, rage, or that you can't do anything right.
3. Feeling out of control or overwhelmed that leads to sleeping for a long period of time when you are not sleep deprived.
4. When your period comes, all of the memories of your PMDD active symptoms time come to you causing you to think, "I shouldn't be that way." "Why am I so mean?"
