Post-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PostMDD)

[Hazy4797]

For the last year, I've noticed a consistent pattern in my cycle: days 4-8 my mood tanks and I feel hopeless and full of despair. Then by day 9, my mood lifts dramatically. I've tried to research this but no one seems to understand the cause. Looking for more information and treatment ideas. My doctor wants me to do a lot of bloodwork throughout my cycle.
