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!

Menstruation and OCD
How are your experiences during an ocd spike while going through a menstruation? It doesn't matter if you are afab, your experience is valid too! I noticed my thoughts get worsened and the spike intensified, but now that I'm taking sertraline I don't feel an panic attack as before but the throughs and feelings are definitely there so is an unpleasant situation

For the ladies out there- the luteal phase + pmdd
I was wondering why my ocd was so much worse and I think it’s the luteal phase. I got diagnosed with PMDD recently. For a couple cycles, the pre and during was brutal but I was put on supplements that I thought helped. Now, I think the luteal phase just started but my religious ocd is coming back at full force. It’s scary. It feels so urgent. Like I must figure out the answers to every problem because it is life and death. It’s hard to recognize it is OCD. I feel like if I don’t figure everything out, I’m sinning and disappointing God. Does anyone have advice for surviving the luteal phase?
