does anybody else's ocd get better around ovulation and worse around period? or am i just bi in denial with PMDD?

My anxiety and ocd is much worse during ovulation and before period. Same for my mum and sisters

during?? oh God does it mean i don't have ocd??? because these past 2 days i have been way better and actually listened to music

That question you just asked ‘do I even have OCD?’ Is actually your OCD. Apparently it’s very very common. It’s another OCD lie. Everyone’s hormone patterns are different, the women in my family have hormonal and gynaecological issues. For example I have to take medication to try to regulate my hormones and one of my sisters has endometriosis. But no two women will be the same. It’s a medical fact that hormones effect anxiety and mental health in good and perhaps less good ways in some cases like eating too much chocolate!

welp ocd has been down for ke for the past couple days and it's making me question if i even have ocd like why are the thoughts gone? and the anxiety???

You are not alone, my ocd is so much worse right before and during my period... trying to convince me of many anxious things... i mean hormones have a big impact on the brain so all of it together can be very intense! Try to maybe keep track of your cycle so you can know when it is going to hit every month, maybe it can help to manage the flare ups

yes i will thank you!!

My therapist said it’s common for a lot of women for OCD to get worse before period. You can have OCD and PMDD lol 🤣

yeah but i am worried about PMDD bebecausi once saw a post about a girl who thought she had hocd and then turns out she was bi in denial with PMDD
