My dad recently passed away of Covid pneumonia. He was on a ventilator for six weeks. The nighttime like you Patricia is the worst for me and my OCD. I’ve had thoughts like I’m in my casket when I’m in my dark bedroom at night. Makes it hard for me to sleep sometimes as well as living my life to it’s full happy potential. Since dad died it’s really ramped up my anxiety related to my OCD. The morning seems to be the only time of day when I can get any relief. I am going through a rough spot right now and have been in dark psychologically terrifying corners with seemingly no escape route. I’m always here if you need to talk. I hope sharing my story has helped you in someway.

I am at my worst right now. I feel like I can’t breath because of my anxiety I’m always worrying about having cancer or some chronic illness, or not loving my partner or my partner not loving me. I’m soooo tired

have definitely experienced this many times before, you are not alone. this happens to me when i am feeling very stressed out or some type of life change! melatonin helps me out a lot when this happens. i also listen to bed time stories or frequencies to clear my mind before bed. i listen to music at times like jazz and bossa nova also before bed just to help me relax a bit and get my body in the right headspace for sleeping time.

Not doing great
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me

The Morning Anxiety
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?

panic/anxiety attack
i’m currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i don’t know why. i’ve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know i’m not going to get sick but i’m just really panicked and cannot calm down. i’m currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and it’s only making it worse but i don’t know why. i just don’t want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i don’t know why i’m so scared. it just feels like it’s never going to go away.
