Yes!! When I’m laying in bed I go to sleep quick but I can’t get myself switched off and in bed til 1-2am, it’s hard to explain to other people as I’m like no I don’t have trouble sleeping once I get to that stage but the hard part is getting to my bed, my OCD brain is still wired and I may spent like an hour sometimes picking the skin on my fingers and feeling anxious! Glad I’m not alone there ❤️

My sleeping is so bad, I wake up gasping for air because of panic attacks. My subconscious is stressed out.

There seems to be quite a lot of you too and I don’t know which one, it’s a shame there isn’t a messaging part to this app so you can carry on conversations! Of course as usual it’s after 1am now so I’m going to kick my butt into gear for bed, at least it’s not a work night ? I hate when I get 4 hours sleep and then have to get up early as it takes me a good 2 hours to get ready with Just Right OCD and find the energy to go to work at a school with a class of 5 year olds ? then I’m super sleep deprived! Hope you’re not struggling to get to bed tonight

I feel like it’s just me. But at night when I start to fall asleep, play on my phone, or watch TV; I’ll get major intrusive thoughts and a butt load of anxiety. Has anyone felt the same about this? How have you managed it? It’s getting exhausting and even causes me to sleep-less.

Does anyone know any tips on how to accept the uncertainty of being unable to sleep? I get to so scared that if I don’t sleep, something bad will happen to me. Or I’ll end up in like the hospital or I’ll go crazy. It’s really scary and it bothers me so much. If anyone has advice I’d love to hear it!!
