SAME. My HOCD has been worse than it has in a long time because of my period.

My ocd is literally 5x worse now. I'm thinking about calling people up to ask about events from many years ago. I think I'll better wait until the pms fog is gone before I make any decisionsπ€·ββοΈπ

@washie Ditto. I was sobbing the other night because I was scared that writing fanfic with a female friend made me gay.

I have 1 tip back btw!π Epsom salt foot baths!! SO relaxing! It's magnesium sulfate in powder form. You add it to your foot bath and it absorbs through the skin!ππ» :)

My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.

I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. Iβm having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I canβt for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I canβt seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

So I was doing good for about 5 months. I was going to therapy, practicing the skills, and for about the past month, I fell into a depression funk. The last week, however, has been a week of really loud OCD. I am in a constant state of anxiety and find myself doing compulsions. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced what I'm about to describe. I'm considering taking myself to the hospital, but my little boy's birthday party is this weekend and I don't want to miss it: I keep having this bad feeling like I actually want to do the bad things in my mind. I know OCD intrusive thoughts can tell you "I want to" but this just seems different - maybe it's OCD trying to come at me a new way. It's not like thoughts telling me "I want" it's like even when I tell myself I don't want to do the bad stuff, there's this nagging feeling telling me I really want to. I'm scared.
