Worse at night
Does anyone else seem fine through the day but their anxiety gets worse at night?

Yes! As the nightime hour draws nearer, I'm slowly filled with dread. But at least we're not alone.

This is common for those of us who have OCD and anxiety to experience an increase in our symptoms at night. This is most likely because we are busier during the day and have less time to think. When nighttime comes around, we have less that we are busier with and more time to think. Does that make things more clear? I'm sorry that you are experiencing more anxiety at night, I know how that feels. Have you discussed this with a therapist before?

@Jbgys543 - I'm happy to hear that! Would you mind sharing with me if you will be starting therapy with a NOCD clinician?

Does anyone else feel like this?
I regret researching every single day🫠 In the beginning, I thought searching for similar stories to my own would help ease my fears, but my mind ended up latching onto their worries, which only heightened the anxiety I had before. There were worries I didn't have, and now I do.

The Morning Anxiety
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?

Fear of fear?
Does anyone else ever feel like this? When you're having a good day without a lot of fear after having multiple days of fear, you start worrying that your good day will be ruined by fear again. It's like anticipatory fear. Anyone else get this? I hate it but I don't know how to make it stop
