Anxiety has really got a hold of me this last few months, starting to effect my life

I apologise as I have posted about my same problems before. I have added a link to a question I asked a few weeks ago to give the root of my problems. I thought I was doing fine now and my anxiety and OCD wasn't as bad until it is that time of the month again. Every month when my period is due I start to freak out again and worry it isn't going to come or it's going to be very early. My axiety has been bad since last week because I have been obsessing about it coming. My period came today exactly 28 days since my last one. I had mild cramps since monday evening but what is worrying me is it is slow at coming properly has anxiety and stress effected my period? I am trying to relax but it is very hard to. I stress every month leading up to it now and during my period it is starting to get to me, thank you for kind words in advance.

Anxiety and stress willl definitely affect your period.. I was so stressed that I missed a whole month my period was always always on time but last year in November I didn't have one then in December it came on and it was really heavy and bad cramping didn't want to eat. I would skip a period then sometimes my period would linger for too long so yea stress plays a big part in it.. but I'm on my cycle now and when my period was about to come on I had really bad anxiety felt like I couldn't breathe and still til this day I feel like I want to faint I feel weak and I was bleeding quite heavy it's just a lot stress hormones it's all a lot and something we just have to get through my love..
