Oh my goodness. I was just thinking about this. Every time I’m on my period it seems like my OCD gets so much worse. I feel so emotionally unstable. I was wondering if there was a reason for it. Maybe hormonal changes exacerbate symptoms?? You’re already high stress and it only escalates it, idk??

Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared...
