Yes, it seems that at night I go into a wave of thoughts.

@user103546546 I think it's because at night we end up being more alone, everything is silent, so it's a fertile ground for intrusive thoughts to take over.

I get that feeling more in the morning when I just wake up and I haven’t had my caffeine or haven’t woken up to reality. I’m still waking up after being asleep so coming back to another state of being I guess triggers my anxiety.

@user103546546 Yes caffeine does help me. I think so. It might make me more anxious but at the same time it makes me more alert so I feel more in control of myself. Also it puts me in a better mood. So it’s weird I guess it could make me more anxious but it somehow helps my mind at the same time.

Intrusive thoughts & Panic
Hello does anyone get such severe panic and anxiety that comes along with bad intrusive thoughts. Then the thoughts give you more panic because you feel you may act on them? Then I worry I’m going crazy, can anyone relate? Thank for reading

Does anyone struggle the worst at night?
I feel like it’s just me. But at night when I start to fall asleep, play on my phone, or watch TV; I’ll get major intrusive thoughts and a butt load of anxiety. Has anyone felt the same about this? How have you managed it? It’s getting exhausting and even causes me to sleep-less.
