Question

A few minutes ago i saw that one Commercial about it on tv .. and alot about what they were talking about kinda refferd to alot of the stuff i get .. i went to the website to check it out just to make sure about all of it and well ... about 85% of the symptoms i have about a week and a half before i get my period.

Its a little embrassing to tell him... but i also need to know exactly HOW serious it is ... and what i can do to make it better .... please help!

sorry it posted my question 3 times .. i dont knwo how it did that but .. yeah .. sorry

Answer 1

FIRST go to a doctor, its good that you identify with the commercial but a pyschologist would help you out more. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 2

Be careful - those commercials list symptoms that almost everyone has, so that you run to your doctor and ask to be prescribed the medication they're selling.

I think you should Google it, find some sites with information that aren't trying to sell you anything. If you still feel you have a problem, either talk to your dad or call Planned Parenthood. They have confidential (and income-based) healthcare for women.

Answer 3

One thing I can tell u is that the medicine they put u on are antidepressants.

i have known ppl who have gone on those meds and gotten worse, not better.

maybe u should consider nutritional changes first and see how that goes for a month? esp if u are on the birth control pill.

Also look into Evening Primrose Oil and Omega 3.

If u are dead set on seeing a dr. then just telling ur dad u have depression is a good place to start, since pmdd is a form of depression.

oh and u want to see your normal doctor, who might refer u to a psychiatrist.

best of luck.

theory i might throw my hat in the ring by skill of asserting, the reason they spend lots on plastic surgical treatment is the docs cost way too lots, and that they does no longer want plastic surgical treatment if society wasn't so judgmental on how people look. We as a society have created this difficulty alongside with many others, and once you communicate approximately how lots you have given and boast approximately it, you have only have been given your reward as Christianity teaches, so no i does no longer stick to on your footsteps, it is sin in accordance to the Bible. On a certainty experience i will tell if the wealthy or nicely to do helped the damaging and needy, we'd all only be mediocre, and that's fairly like communism, something i'm to no longer stupid approximately, yet wait you probably did no longer say the damaging might ought to artwork we'd only provide it to them and help them out. i think of we already try this, its referred to as social information and our taxes conceal that cost alongside with producing jobs for social workers. So we are already giving to the damaging, we only are no longer boasting correct to the sturdy we are doing. actual charity comes from the middle and isn't any longer measured by skill of the media and what others think of, that's finished in secret so which you do no longer humiliate the needy or crown the giver.
