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.

Night time anxiety
I think it's just anxiety, but I've been experiencing random bouts of anxiety around the evenings, usually around 8pm is when it kicks in. Is there an explanation for this? My head will feel cold and I'll start to feel dizzy and sick. Sometimes I worry it could be my eating habits.

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 🫠

Morning dread
I always feel the most anxiety and dread in the morning. That’s when I start overthinking a lot, and it becomes really hard not to seek reassurance on the internet and so on. What do you all do to ease the morning anxiety a bit?
