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 ❤️
Yes I need to finish my mental compulsions before I can go to sleep.
My sleeping is so bad, I wake up gasping for air because of panic attacks. My subconscious is stressed out.
Recover111 I would say you could add me on Facebook to chat privately but my last name is Jones so there’s about 3 million of me and hard to find! ? what is your anxiety like at night? What keeps you from going to sleep?
Sarah26 add me its Thomas Valenti
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
1 hour later and I haven’t moved from sitting on the sofa! ?
Sarah26 contact me on instagram maybe
Okay ?? well my fiancé’s alarm clock for work is going off in 2 and a half hours, I need sleep, night all!
Too anxious to sleep ?
Currently really anxious. Lately I've had the obsession that I won't be able to sleep again. I lay down at night, doze off for 15min to and hour, then wake up even more anxious like "I won't be able to fall back asleep again."
Isit me alone or anyone experienced this. My anxiety and worry somehow at the peak every night before i sleep. I have never fall sleep on time because of my intrusive thoughts. All the worry, bad thoughts, anxiety of something bad will happen, guilt, you name it, entire world problems will run in my head. I end up using phone so that i wont think, just scroll social media or read articles to divert my mind until im so exhausted and my mind shut down. This is very exhausting and tiring. Anyway to deal with this?
