Feeling OCD latch onto new theme

So I’ve been struggling with sleep OCD lately, I took a Xanax I had leftover from an old prescription two nights ago and then a Benadryl last night. I decided to take a hydroxyzine for the first time just now to try and get some decent sleep tonight. Now, I’m having intrusive thoughts that I’m going to overdose in my sleep even though all these medications were taken over 24 hours apart from each other. I’m trying to calm down and accept my thoughts, but how do I accept the possibility of dying???? I’m not sure how to navigate this one, any tips?

You will not overdose from this. The hours of separation are plenty, even if there is some in your system still. I'm fact, some people take Xanax regularly during the day, and then something like hydroxyzine (or even more potent) to sleep every night! Your OCD is lying to you. Mine changes theme often too, and it's maddening. But you'll be fine. Truly.

You made it! 😉. And, don't worry. I'm usually 10 times worse, so I get it. ♥️
