Re: new here and desperate for pmdd help!!!

thank you very much for taking the time to answer my post.

your playground story really struck a cord. i would hate to think that i would treat anyone that way (let alone an innocent child) but if I really think about it-that's exactly how I treat my bf and my kids on my bad days.

i realize this isn't an easy or overnight fix. I lately have felt like a fish out of water with the whole thing. i'm so new to it that i don't really know where to start.

the counselor i'm seeing is a social worker not a pyschlogist and that may be part of my issue-i need to be in sessions with someone who deals with mental issues on a daily basis. i somewhat feel that part of my issue might be deeper than just my PMDD. i'm also learning that hiding behind this issue isn't helping me at all.

learning self control is one of the biggest tasks in this whole thing. i have none as you can see by my post. i fly off the handle and then immediately blame it on my condition like the person who i've just gone off on is supposed to automatically forgive and forget.

thanks alot for your post-it helped give me some insight on what i should do and how i can work harder at making things better for me,my children,and my bf. i know that if I keep up my destructive behavior-my children will be scarred for life and my bf will be gone.
