Does this sound like PMDD?

I’ve had a period for almost 17 years now, and I’ve started trying to pay kore attention to patterns I notice regarding my cycle.

I have always noted acne forming prior to my period, along with bloating and some weight gain. In the last few years I developed breast tenderness starting the week prior to my period.

More recently I’ve started to note the increased anxiety I have in the days leading up to my period. I have also noticed my fuse to be a lot shorter of non-existent almost.

I find myself handling situations very poorly, having really minor things completely set me off in a violent outburst I feel have no control of.

I have struggled with outbursts like this my entire life, but in my adult life I’ve noticed that they are very common in the days leading up to my period.

Does this sound like something like PMDD?

I’m scared to mention this to gynecology, as I’ve been warned that any complaints of my period will award me with a prescription for hormonal birth control.

Curious to know others opinions or experiences.
