Anyone’s periods make them super moody and emotional and then your ocd thoughts just like taunt you to make it worse

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 🤣
@Wolfram Haha 😂 thankyou
I’ve been dealing with a really bad flare up the last 2 weeks and i’ve been dealing with ocd on and off for years. I was finally feeling better today, So of course my ocd decided to bring up an old intrusive thought that was really upsetting and now i’m stuck on it again. The reason why I struggle so much to conquer my ocd is because I developed ocd as postpartum so my ocd targets my kids, the ones that mean everything to me. The intrusive thoughts range from mild to really disturbing. While I know deep down the intrusive thoughts aren’t true or me, the ocd makes it feel SO real and true which makes me feel like I HAVE to disprove the thoughts and with confidence but the ocd won’t let me. It also makes me question analyze and judge everything I do. It’s an endless cycle of pain and I just want to be a mom without ocd telling me i’m a horrible person all day every day. 😪
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?
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…
