@LiveLaughLoveStuffedAnimals no what is it ??
Yes! Harder to resist compulsions too :(
YES. Anxiety, panic, a bit of hopelessness, agitation, and worse OCD symptoms.
I just experienced this for the first time and it was horrifying 😳
Yup!! Moods/fears/anxieties are only emphasized
Yes
How are your experiences during an ocd spike while going through a menstruation? It doesn't matter if you are afab, your experience is valid too! I noticed my thoughts get worsened and the spike intensified, but now that I'm taking sertraline I don't feel an panic attack as before but the throughs and feelings are definitely there so is an unpleasant situation
I was wondering why my ocd was so much worse and I think it’s the luteal phase. I got diagnosed with PMDD recently. For a couple cycles, the pre and during was brutal but I was put on supplements that I thought helped. Now, I think the luteal phase just started but my religious ocd is coming back at full force. It’s scary. It feels so urgent. Like I must figure out the answers to every problem because it is life and death. It’s hard to recognize it is OCD. I feel like if I don’t figure everything out, I’m sinning and disappointing God. Does anyone have advice for surviving the luteal phase?
My intrusive thoughts are so bad rn. But I’m on my period and I feel like garbage:(
