I have a question that is out of context ( it’s not about ocd) for the women. Yesterday I forgot my birth control pill and today I’m totally irritated. Every time I get a text I’m numb and when my family talk to me it makes me angry. Is it a side effect of a forgotten birth control pill?

Only forgotten pill - nope. Plus what time do you usually takes it ? If it’s less than 12hours you forgot then you should still take it (means you take two in one day please refer to your notice). I think it’s more you focusing on the fact that you forgot it.

Ovulation is one day :) so it’s either before that or after. Indeed if you are nearby the ovulation day it’s risky in terms of pregnancy. But I remember that it took some time after I quit pill (I was taking for years) before seeing a change in my mood. I don’t think you can see that on the scale of two days.

I think it is difficult to tell because everyone seems to have vastly different reactions to birth control anyway. But what I think is most likely that whatever made you forget takinging it might be stressing you out already and then the hormonal changes are like the cherry on top to bring you over the edge of being irritated. If it keeps being an issue and you even mildly suspect it's from the birth control I'd definitely talk to the doctor who prescribed them just to make sure if they are the right option for you

Did you take the missed pill? Usually the instructions tell you how to take the extra pills or when to interrupt your cycle, have a period, and then restart. If you took the extra pill or your body read it as time to start menstruating, then it can absolutely affect you. It might be, it might not be. Your mood change might be a secondary response to your body adjusting. Use some back-up protection. Best wishes.

Confused

I have a question My OCD has felt almost invisible the past few weeks and now that is starting to stress me out a lot. Right now I am at a point in my treatement where I was asked if I would like to take medication. I told my therapist this week that I would like to try the medication based on how miserable I feel in during OCD flare ups. But now my brain always tells me that I only go throught this treatement etc. to seek attention and that I am just dramatic and should be ashamed of myself for wanting to take this medication. So now I am doubting if I should take the medication or not. Any advice?

I feel anxious

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…

panicking so bad

I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.
