hello! i actually responded to someone else with the same question :) here is my advice: it's normal as a female for us to go through different emotional periods with our cycle. sounds like your OCD is strong during this time because of your hormones. i would suggest keeping a journal near and keep track of your cycle and when your OCD thoughts peak. that way when you start to get very obsessive again, you can say to yourself - oh right, it's because of where i am with my cycle. that way you can be prepared for a spike and take control instead of giving in to your ocd!

Advice?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!

How do I get out of a Flare Up
Im having a OCD specifically contamination OCD flare up all month and I don’t want to feel this way going into March, I’ve thrown out clothes, towels, stayed up for hours doing compulsions, washed my hands till they crack and bleed, I have washing pilling up cause I’m so overwhelmed by all the extra things I’ve added cause I thought it was contaminated. It’s completely draining me to the point where I’ve become sleep deprived and are avoiding part of my home because they are deemed contaminated to me…I only moved in a few months ago, I had a roach problem and using baits and insecticides really messed with my ocd too. anyone have any tips or tricks to make this easier? I wasn’t doing this bad in January :( thankyou in advance :)
