I can’t remember the last time I actually truly slept and I’m contemplating going to urgent care when they open. I’ve tried several sleeping pills this past week and nothing seems to be helping. I’m getting better at accepting my intrusive thoughts but I’m just so exhausted
Im up all night as well i get you im here if ud like to chat
I know the feeling of exhaustion. I hope you can get sleeping pills that work . My doctor put. Me on Zyprexa. It helped with sleep and seem to reduce instrusive thinking as well. This medication I find to be very strong so I would take half pill.
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
Any one else deal with this? Like from the moment they wake up to the second they fall asleep, the intrusive thoughts are there?
Lately, my mood shifts so frequently. A couple of minutes ago, I got triggered and decided that instead of doing a compulsion, I'd write in my journal (since I haven't done that in a while). But after writing not even half a page... I'm okay? Well, sorta! 😭 I'm experiencing a resurgence in old obsessions, which is disappointing. A couple of weeks back, I was doing a lot better, but now it's just one thing after another. Really wish therapy was more affordable. I'm already seeing my psychiatrist, but she wants me to see a specialist as well. When I think about living with this for the rest of my life, I can get a little emotional. I know it'll get easier to manage as time passes, and it might not even affect me in the future, but right now...? It's a lot of work I'll need to do to overcome this. I'm willing to do it, but I get discouraged at times... But that's enough of my little vent! I hope anyone who reads this is doing okay. Hang in there 🤍
