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
@ocdcycle Honestly it is the most overwhelming mental disorder
Bed time is the worst for me
me too, my anxiety is at it’s peak and I feel guilty because I feel I didn’t do enough today.
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.
Does anyone else struggle with extreme anxiety in the morning? It’s like I wake up and my body is already anxious. It calms down towards the evening. It’s really frustrating to try to get moving in the morning when I just want to lay in bed and ignore it.
does anyone else’s thoughts/compulsions get worse as it gets later in the day?
Me again. I seem to be having more issues lately. Last night laying in bed watching a movie and I get anxiety bad out of nowhere. As if I didn’t already have anxiety it became worse. I made myself go to bed to feel better. Woke up this morning and am still obsessing on the why! What caused me to go from stable and okay to feeling terrible?
