Honestly, sometimes I don’t notice much of a difference my ocd ebbs and flows. I feel better during my period sometimes and worse before and after. Then sometimes it’s during as well. I might just feel a little more anxiety but still not a terrible difference where I notice it.

I also don’t take any birth control so this could possibly help with that?? I don’t know, I’m not an expert lol

Does anyone know how to survive this time because it's like literally weeks of our lives... and sometimes it all just goes to waste because of OCD.

SSRI's help some people. I can't tolerate them.

@Anonymous Really? Maybe you need a different SRRI? Or is there a particular reason you cannot handle them?

@Daria Alexandrovna I just try and remember that there’s a hormonal reason why these feelings are increased. I know you’re not supposed to promote anything on here but CBD helps me a bit calm the anxiety.

@Daria Alexandrovna I've had a genetic assessment and most of the antidepressants are in the red column.

@Anonymous I have heard that some SSRI made one girl have an increased appetite so maybe it depends?

@Anonymous I also got a genetic test done and many of the medications I have tried were also in that colum but there are still other types of medications that could help, for example, I take clomipramine, a tricyclic. Also, even though its in the orange column it can technically still work but perhaps only on a low dosage, you may not be able to handle a higher dose well.. In my case, clomipramine wass in the orange/red column but it has worked as long as I don't take any more than like 50mg, prior to lowering it to that I became more volatile.

It's a very stressful thing for most women. I'm not surprised it's something that's been talked about multiple times.

I used to had very strong ocd during pms. The good thing was that I had food cravings. Good because I am thin. Now I'm in menopause. I kind if miss my periods.

Has your OCD improved now that you’re through with Perimenopause? I recently had a full hysterectomy, with the hopes that my OCD will get better without the hormonal issues.

Absolutely. Actually, it’s how I know my period is about to start — my OCD ramps up an insane amount
