Mornings
My OCD is always the worst in the mornings and I get intrusive thoughts as soon as I wake up

Cortisol levels are higher in morning. Mine are worse in mornings as well. Even though some of my worst intrusive thoughts also happen at night as well occasionally when I can’t sleep. Hugs to you

Same I get a few seconds or happiness then boom! It hits me. Or I wake in the middle of the night by anxiety and I have trouble going back to sleep

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 🫠

Morning dread
I always feel the most anxiety and dread in the morning. That’s when I start overthinking a lot, and it becomes really hard not to seek reassurance on the internet and so on. What do you all do to ease the morning anxiety a bit?
