Glad they have calmed. Hoping youāll also not experience them this bad frequently. If itās new for you, and youāve been menstruating for some time itās worth talking to your Gynecologist just to be sure youāre not missing anything. In my experience I have had sporadic severe cramps and sporadic heavy flows. But no diagnosis of any kind, considered healthy other than maybe you have endometriosis but I donāt know if that theory holds up given how sporadic it is for me. All this to say, it may not mean anything bad or that something is wrong but keep an eye on it / run it by your doc.

Iām so sorry that isnāt funny at all! Iāve struggled with horrible cramps too, sometimes they make me just lay down on the floor in my shower and Iāve actually vomited a few times because theyāve been so bad. What āworksā for me (at least removes the worst of the pain) is combining ibuprofen and paracetamol. Hope you are feeling better soon! š

Iām having horrible cramps right now so I can totally relate, I donāt know if it works for everyone but I like putting on multiple clothes to keep warm and maybe a heating pad if it helps. If you have any painkillers, take them. Drink warm water, cold ones will just make it worse and some tea or soup. I like to put on multiple layers of pads and just lay down in bed until the pain goes away. If it gets even worse, consider calling your doctor.

To all the girls out there :) When your period is coming, does it increase your intrusive thoughts? If so, how do you cope with it? I mean, I clearly know itās OCD and I know how not-to care about it after this time of the month but week before and during the cycle itās like a nightmareā¦ even tho I know itās just this freaking ilness, I feel a huge anxiety and fear. How do you cope with that, girls? (Not looking for reassurance or anything, just being curious! :))

Menustral cycle and ocd
I have ocd and ptsd. I guess I need to vent to feel like Im not alone. Having ptsd and ocd is hard. Ocd is constantly trying to trigger ptsd and itās always ALWAYS bad before Iām about to start my period. My period is about to start this week. I just got back from a girls trip weekend with my family and Iām still extremely overstimulated from that. I havenāt left town since the pandemic started so this was hard for me. Iām sleep deprived and I didnāt eat very well while I was away. I canāt do things like that anymore without proper sleep and nutrition bc my ptsd doesnāt do well. Today is my first day back at work since I left for my trip and I feel horrible. I didnāt sleep again last night bc I had a panic attack. I had racing thoughts and images that made no sense in my mind so of course that triggered ocd and made me panic. My brain found out that bothered me and keeps replaying the same sequence even after Iāve woke up this morningš„ŗ I feel extremely nauseous and just anxious and so uncomfortable. I know this wonāt resolve until my period starts I wish it would just start even tho Iām about to be in a lot of pain. Iāve had so many subtypes in the span of five days Iām having a hard time. It feels like Iām gonna lose control or somethingā¦ I guess Iām wondering if any of you feel like this when youāre due for your cycle bc periods are so unpredictable and confusing and sometimes scary Iām exhausted
