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.

Anyone else has this happen?
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠
