My period always makes me feel terrible- OCD is really sensitive to the hormonal changes & I think you need to be gentle with yourself. This all sounds like classic OCD. Although, asking for reassurance isn’t going to help you- it will only add fuel to it. I hope you feel better soon. You will get through this. You yourself even said this is something upsetting and unwanted. Sounds totally intrusive and not like something you enjoy at all. I’m so sorry you’re going through that.

@shewasafairyy Thank you for your kind comment. It’s kind of like it was distressing and worrisome, but I’ve been through this before and I used to be pretty bad when I was very depressed, so I know I can get through it, it’s just going through. it isn’t really anything positive… it also just sucks because a lot of these things happen to me as a child or things that I did on my own as a child my brain uses it as proof. I’m going to give myself grace and not beat myself up about it.

I mean your body is scanning all the time based on what you said in this post. So how would you know if its really bc of the past or just you hypofocusing on your part of the body? Like another example of this to give context is when my heart beats fast and because its beating fast I am fearing a heart attack even though the real reason is I exercise for 45 minutes but because i am scanning the body i think of the worst case scenario

@ocdmememachine Yes, every time an intrusive thought comes up or a memory of something weird I did as a kid, it’s like my body automatically becomes on hyper alert, which makes the sensation stronger. This happens with things of these weird themes of OCD, for example, health issues. Sometimes for me, it’s headaches or my eyesight. I think this one is more concerning to me because of the context of all of it, but thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate it.
