Do any other girls find that they can go nearly a whole month practically OCD free, and then right before they start their period the spikes begin… A pretty longstanding theme I’ve had (SOOCD) has kicked into gear again, like it always does a week before I start. Not to get graphic, but the groinals really kick in, and then the subsequent doubts, rumination, anxiety comes flooding.

Ooh yeah!😐 I can tell just by how I'm feeling that it's close to my period. The last 3-4 days I get incredibly emotional and everything feels like a big deal. Rumination won't stop. I'm never ocd free though, but pms definitely makes it 10x worse.

Oh my goodness I am definitely close to my period and it really CAN exacerbate symptoms. It’s a hard time when you already deal with so much. I am sorry :( but I am with you on that always. It definitely happens.

I am always here for support!

I can, yep. Things get much worse two weeks before my period.

yes i feel this thats how this last period has been really bad thoughts i havent had in a long time of themes i thought i wasnt obsessing over anymore and boom
