Do you tell your job about your PMDD?

General

Just like the title. I am in healthcare so I do go in to work either way. I feel like I can suppress my emotions with a patient and focus on the patient but I can be quiet with staff when going through it.

I feel like I have embarrassed myself before with crying at work, speaking my mind at a previous job. I left one job and have been at this current one for six weeks but I am butting heads with owner of the clinic and another provider. I told myself I would leave at the first red flag (due to previous issues at other jobs in healthcare) and I’m looking for other jobs. Based on my job title it is pretty easy to find another but kind of a smaller community where I live so I know they can talk.

But do any others explain their PMDD in an interview if asking for weakness? I like to be honest, because I do struggle at work sometimes. Any advice is truly welcome.

I also have CPTSD, ADHD. I am with new psych and going through medication changes and seeing some progress but my period always messes me up.
