OCD once every month?

[Marie_L]

I wonder whether anyone else experiences this. I have generalised anxiety disorder but once a month I’ll typically have an irrational anxiety/obsession that I will ruminate on for hours/days on end. After this period of time/for the next three weeks I’m back to next to no anxiety/ low-level generalised anxiety. Has anyone else experienced this or similar?

Could it be due to your hormones.

Sounds like it could be PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) Google it and see if you can relate to the symptoms. There are treatments for it. Good luck to you.
