I was diagnosed with clinical depression since the age of 14 but I have been unhappy as far back as I remember. I have tried EVERY anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication under the sun and although they take a little of the edge off, they are by no means a cure. I am 35 now and my dark feelings and sadness are worse than they have ever been. I have tried therapy, psychiatry, meditation, self-help books, group counseling, even bio-feedback with absolutely no change. Whatever is wrong with my brain chemistry prevents me from drinking alcohol or smoking weed to help me relax. I have suffered from low self-esteem all my life because I have always hated the way I look. I am very unattractive and have suffered with acne through my teens and 20s and now in my 30s I am going bald! Because of my depression I have let my body go as I have no energy to do productive and positive things. I waste a month on a gym membership I don’t use. I sleep usually 12-15 hours a day and am always exhausted. I suffer from insomnia and have vivid nightmares. I was raised Catholic but now am pretty much an atheist and without any faith, I feel I am REALLY screwed! The funny thing is that I have never been suicidal, however, I truly no longer wish to live as I don’t enjoy life anymore. My mom died 9 years ago and I am an only child. No family or friends. HELP!!!

Hi. I have always felt really different around the time of my menstrual period. I become much less tolerant of things and my moods change frequently.

Today, though, which I think is one or two days before my menstruation, I’ve been feeling a strong sense of sadness for no reason at all and it frustrates me. I also find myself not caring about anything and wanting to do anything to get rid of this illogical pain. This frustrates me because even if I try to do something that makes me happy, I have no care for it and just become frustrated.

It’s strange. Once my period is done, I slowly feel better and back to my normal self, like my emotional turns have never happened.

Would it be a good choice if I started using an anti-depressant, or a birth control pill such as Yaz to help with this? Or is it simply me exaggerating the need for PMS relief? I am really not sure if I have PMDD, but I do feel really different around the time of my period. If you do think I have PMDD, what is the best brand to use?

NOTE: I am only seventeen, but I will turn eighteen next year. If I’m not allowed to take any anti-depressants because of my age then I am ok with waiting until next year to start using it. I would just like to ask you if I actually have PMDD and what I should do about it later on.

Thank you.
