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. 💪🏼💜

Thank you for that. I do think my periods are extremely easy compared to what I hear from others. I don't I ever had my mood swing because of it and I rarely feel any pain. I think I'll try working on the project tomorrow and if ocd ruins it I'll wait, I guess

@Retseknal5 That sounds like a great plan! And also sounds like great practice for self-awareness. Sending you good hormone vibes!

Having a lot of OCD right now. It’s actually sending me into an anxiety attack. I’m so afraid I have lost my mind or about to lose my mind. My thoughts are so intense as well. I could use some positive words or some comforting words. I have harm OCD, fear of schizophrenia, as well as Religious OCD. I feel like they are all happening at once and I can’t calm my mind. I think it has to do with my period but I’m not sure.

OCD questions
Do any of y’all feel like your focus is gone because of OCD? I’m in school for law and currently working through a couple month long OCD episode after getting Covid and I find my focus is gone. Or my mind just feels so tired and forgetful. Is this common? It’s making anxious as I obviously over analyze everything I feel. And also a question for women do you find that closer to your cycle you get more anxious and triggered?

Does stress / sickness make your OCD worse?
I’m under a lot of stress right now between getting sick , getting my period , moving to a new apartment , and going on vacation next week. I feel like it’s made me distant and my partner focused OCD has gotten so much worse along with ROCD and SOOCD. I feel like I’ve been so hypercritical of my boyfriend and feeling nothing towards him and that stresses me out because last week when I was clear and my OCD had calmed down I felt so lovey dovey towards him. Now I just feel like a menace so I’m wondering if this happens to anyone else?
