What I do right before I'm supposed to sleep
I need to count how many breaths I take, and start trying to fall asleep at exactly the right time, otherwise I will stay up all night again.

I am sorry that you are going through this. Please remember that even if OCD says you have to do something that doesn't mean you need to do something- in fact, it likely means that you probably shouldn't do what it says to do. Because it is probably a compulsion. I know at the moment that the anxiety feels so real and so hard- but please know that it doesn't mean that the danger is real.
