It makes me stressed and feels like I can’t do anything about it. Early mornings I used to relax and nights I could fall asleep with ease. Now it’s like I can’t do either of those things because ocd has ruined them. I hate this disorder. Logically knowing my ocd’s theme isn’t actually a reality should be enough, and yet it isn’t. Anyone else feeling super stressed out this way?
Each night I go to bed determined to stop compulsions and start beating this disorder. Then I wake up and it smacks me in the face first thing and I’m doing a compulsion before I know it. I told my therapist that I would try to handle it like we do in session, but I’ve already failed. It seems like I can’t bring ERP into my “real” life.
Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?
Honestly ocd has been so tough these past months, like I wake up in the morning thinking I accidentally hurt my whole family and just don’t remember. And I start to question so much. And freak out thinking that I did. If anyone can relate I would love to hear from you ;) and any things that may helped you
