have you considered treatments for PMS or PMDD?
No. Not yet.
I've yet to have any checkup for it.

But if it comes to it, I'll take any doctor's orders.
No surprises if it'll be the case though.

I feel the same.
Only thing I can say which might help is: once you hit your thirties, there are advantages to being female. Not going to go into much depth when not on the adult forum but you get increased pleasure after your period. At least I do. Increased creativity at certain times, too. My cycle feels more of a cycle now than it did when I was younger when it was just 'oh look there's blood and I feel like I'm going to die, surprise!'
Obvious things include heat pads, regular medicine, chocolate. Some women like to exercise but I never did, it's bed rest for me if I don't have commitments. But I assume you've tried all this.
Look into something like the pill? I couldn't swallow it myself (literally) but it helps some women manage their periods, limiting them to once every three months instead of once a month (I think this is how it works, I can't take pills so I didn't look very far).
And after that you're right, you're just a person. Don't be too hard on yourself to be feminine, not every female is. Not every man is masculine, not every woman is feminine, not everyone is either.
Not looking for 'pleasure', nor the need for touch. Never sought it myself and I'm asexual.
I had enough with being 'angry' for no apparent reason. I had enough with lower tolerance of anything in general just because my body said so. I had enough with barely able to control myself, with by body overriding my real thoughts and emotions; and thus my actions.
Also I had no idea where I first to look for a pill or so. I'm not one of those ladies who have to deal with serious cramps whenever it happens. Or maybe I do in another way, I just thought it's normal.
Lastly, feminism from where I live is a bit different... I don't go hard with myself with femininity.

It's the least of my problems.
It's just people, and them freaking out on me considering with choices. I don't like it if people are fussing about me.
Ah... And I shouldn't have just ranted about this on random section.
