Undergraduate / "Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder" - UCF Bump In The Road Essay [3]

I'm sorry that I've yet to post up an essay (I will do that when I'm through with it, instructions and all.), but you see I was kind of worried as to whether the topic was appropriate. Also, I'm having a little difficulty trying to figure out a way to go about writing it.

Basically, it's about Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (Wow, that doesn't sound serious at all.) and how it affected my academic/social/family life before my parents decided that it was problematic enough that maybe I should see a doctor to figure out what the hell was wrong with me. It gave me all of the following: migraines, difficulty concentrating, mood lability, insomnia, depression, and a lovely disinterest in daily life (relationships and activities). So, combine that with the fact that it usually lasted for 2 weeks out of every month, and you'll have my life in a nutshell.

Now, does anyone think that appropriate to put into this essay, or should I come up with something else? And if it is appropriate, do you think I should go about it in the first person? Or some other way?
