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

At times, my intrusive thoughts get so intense that all I can do is lay frozen in my bed and hope I fall asleep, and usually I do even if I'm not tired. My brain just wears me out and I wanna escape through sleep. (Sadly it doesn't work all the time)

It started when I became an adult, and started receiving my mental health diagnosis. I hyper fixated on each and every action I did and how it could be related to my diagnosis’s. It then lead to fixation to my physical health — making appointments and seeing every specialist I can to rule out every possibility. I currently have been suffering with obstructive sleep. I woke up the past few days with severe pain from the lack of sleep whilst believing I was oversleeping. Luckily my fit watch tracks my sleep cycle and it turns out I am not receiving any sleep. I had an extreme panic attack — bursting into tears on the phone with my mom wondering what this case might be. She told me it could be sleep apnea and that a simple sleep study could figure this out. However, knowing my family history I made appointments to every specialist I can to make sure it is nothing serious. The unknown of health can be scary to me. Watching my mother suffer with her physical health chronically since I was a child lead me to be very conscious and aware of how my body is functioning. This morning was one of the worst moments of physical pain. I should just take one step at a time with the sleep doctor instead of taking measures to see every specialist that could pertain with this issue. However, that is very hard to me. I don’t want to ever wake up in the pain I was this morning. Does anyone else suffer with health-related OCD? And if so, how do you find a sense of ease during moments like I expressed?
