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.

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?

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 🫠

terrible anxiety
i’ve been doing okay lately. but then tonight, my stomach started hurting and obviously that set off an anxiety spiral for my emetaphobia. and it went on for about an hour or so when i started feeling better and being more rational with myself. then all of a sudden, i’m hit with a second wave because my stomach started hurting again that i’m still going through. i’ve been having second waves of anxiety recently when i get anxiety attacks and they’re probably worse than the initial hit because i start to think “oh wait, maybe i am sick.” and i’m still not out of it and i’m currently terrified. i know the anxiety is making my stomach worse, but i cannot calm myself down when it hits. so i have an ice pack on my neck, heating pad on my stomach, turned my lights off, turned my fan on and have my tv on for background. i’m trying my best not to take a zofran but it’s getting hard
