Hello Cassie, welcome to the forum
Glad to hear you are doing better now. I also encourage you to read the information in its entirety on my web site (PMS & PMDD Information). It will provide some good insight and helpful tips in managing your symptoms.
I am sorry to hear that your parents were so harsh on you. PMS and PMDD is often not understood because there is such a severe lack of good information and direction from the medical profession about this disorder.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Sincerely,
Anthea
