I have PMDD and I find using an App called Flo extremely helpful. I use Apple products so I don’t know about Android. You log in daily and, well, it’s very helpful to see patterns. I also have bipolar disorder that was “activated” when I gave birth. I understand moods! Hugs to you.
Being a mother is very hard for many of us. Or maybe it’s my mental illnesses. I have raised a happy, healthy teenage daughter. She’s polite but she hates children, lol. One of my best friends doesn’t like children.
I’m not saying you don’t like children or are a bad mom, at all. I thought I wanted two kids, but one was enough for me.
I think you’ve a lot on your plate and you need time for you. Yes, it’s of course necessary to nurture your child and your marriage—but what about you? Truly. Easier said then done, it’s hard.
How about a therapist for you? Why does your husband disapprove? I agree it’s likely hormonal but you posted your exposed to family drama and you have anxiety. A hormone therapy or pill may certainly be in order, but therapy is so helpful in just dealing with life.
Therapy can be great and I do recommend Flo. Wish you the best. Hang in there!
