I wonder if anyone is like me. I'm a woman and u have periods. And when I reach a certain part in the period cycle, my OCD will perks up. I get all anxious and perform my compulsion more intensively
Mine is worse during my period too!
Tracking my cycle was so helpful! I get anxious after my period as well as before it. Track your period, food intake around your period, and sleep around your period. You will notice that bad habits happen just before your period. Our bodies crave salt and sugar, and we have energy bc of nesting.
@Anonymous I couldn’t agree with tracking your period even more. I used to not track it, and now I get an idea of what is happening. Because let me tell you OCD goes wild during my cycle
Thank you so much! I'm gonna track it properly!
Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?
Anyone else develop it in their 30s? I’m 33 and just started showing symptoms in October 2024. So far have only been diagnosed with GAD , PD and depression.I started having intrusive thoughts after a series of panic attacks . My compulsions would be googling. I have made an effort to stop though because it only makes me feel worse. My intrusive thoughts have been around fear of going crazy
I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…
