True or false?

Been told that very formally at my town's hospital. Because "no cycles, no PMDD".

edit: First time I get so many responses. Many thanks, and much love to you all. You matter! :3

I have told gynos that I became a lab rat at this rate.

They refused chemical meno because mental health "does not justify" it, and back on a new BC.

This one is Slinda/Slynd. Progestative-only, because her studies told her to switch to that for women who turn old and fat (old = 35). No period = no PMDD, they say.

I am exhausted.

I just want this to end.

I finally figured out my professional future with high hopes of success, but instead of working on it I'm in bed again with dark thoughts and anxiolytics to avoid going the other side.

Ironically, my last cycle was better; I had Drovelis + escitalopram as antidepressant. But my doctors said "if you have PMDD, then the antidepressant has to be Prozac" and here I am, at the start.

Much luck to all the sufferers out there.
