Oh my goodness. I was just thinking about this. Every time I’m on my period it seems like my OCD gets so much worse. I feel so emotionally unstable. I was wondering if there was a reason for it. Maybe hormonal changes exacerbate symptoms?? You’re already high stress and it only escalates it, idk??

@DeeDoo I believe it’s the sudden hormone changes

It is hormonal and stress on the body that triggers it. You can't be rid of that unfortunately as it's part of being human but you can deal with the ocd if you learn how to. Also, periods don't just effect women's ocd when they go through it. My ocd definitely amplified when my ex had one 🤣

Rant
Hi I’m getting my period in a few days and I always notice my OCD spikes but I’ve just been feeling very very down, thoughts feel very sticky and real. Not much is making it better and I just feel super out of it. I also had a few dreams the past few weeks that relate to one of my ocd themes which is psychosis and I keep thinking I’m going to develop it. And I’ve also just been so on edge and scared even of like myself and people and reeling down and sad. Any advice? I don’t even like talking abt it rlly bc it creeps me out I feel like nothing is helping.

this is a first…
Ive had severe OCD for like 3 years now but today I had a moment where I was convincing myself of my thoughts really strongly and I started ro believe it- but it was really bad this time. Like I felt so anxious that I got nauseous and I felt like I was about to vomit😭😭😭 that has never happened to me… does anyone have a similar experience?

Intrusive thoughts when mad.
Just a quick question for anyone on here today. Does anyone else's OCD get more prominent when they're mad?? Not necessarily "mad" but just frustrated. For example, I'll be having an argument with my girl and the intrusive thoughts just seem to arise way more frequent and severe i guess is a word i can use for it. They just pester me a lot more when I'm frustrated rather than just sitting around playing a video game or something. Appreciate y'all wit the feedback. Have a good one.
