Ooooh yeah I always have a bad episode around my period. I’ve started taking magnesium glycinate. It’s made my cramps go down significantly. Not OCD related but thought I’d share!

I have severe endometriosis so my hormones are everywhere during my period. Is this pill form??

@MRR7221 Yes and you can buy it from Whole Foods or Amazon. I get the brand pure encapsulations. It’s actually amazing how much it’s reduced my cramps and also just reduced some brain fog I’d been having.

I relate to this as well. Sometimes I have the most intense anxiety and OCD out of the blue and it's almost always related to my menstrual cycle!

I actually was just going to post a thread and ask if this is something that is common with others. I just got over mine and my anxiety started about a few days ago- the perfect correlation.

Flare ups when stressed.
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?

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…

Sleep and OCD?
Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?
