Please help. I have perfectionism ocd and also just started my period. Is it a good idea to start working on a big project now or will my ocd ruin it? I've heard that sometimes ocd gets worse while you're on your period...

I don't want to wait until it's over because my periods usually last long (a week or so).

To me it does get worst my anxiety you know because of your hormones my OCD gets worse all my constant thoughts get worse it depends you know in the state of mind that you’re at if you’re stressed out you know I’m a person but when I start PMS thing I get very emotional I start stressing more I start you know I’m worrying more and that’s what creates my OCD if you’re not alone at all I’m going through it too but what I can tell you is what helps me to control my OCD thoughts what helps me to remain calm is keep myself active mentally Try to hear good affirmations morning affirmations of OCD patterns Binaural Beats are great for OCD because it triggers something in the brain that calms you down for me it really really works and I will put the link for you I know what it is suffer from OCD I lived with it all my life and it’s not easy bless your beautiful heart it’s going to be fine you can message me anytime

Ugh, I feel like it depends on so much. Periods and hormones can make all sorts of things flare, but unpredictability so. I usually don’t want my period to get in my way and trudge on, but in reality, I also plan things around it too. It depends how demanding this project is and how strong you feel to fight your OCD. I feel ya on this, especially with the perfectionism OCD too... Comfort and strength your way. 💪🏼💜
