Mornings...

I feel you, mornings are unbearable for me too. The things I've found that help are getting out of bed immediately and getting outside. Once outside I'll read or watch some relatable ocd content that makes me feel less alone. Try searching Chrissie Hogens on YouTube, she's legitimately saving my life right now. I tend to calm down around 11am because that's when the morning cortisol spike ends. Until then, i distract myself and tell myself it's ocd instead of engaging with the thoughts. Distraction may not be recommeneded but right now my ocd is so bad that's the only thing that can get me through the mornings. Hope this helps

Thank you I will try to do that!

I feel for you. I am the same way. On mornings when I work, I can manage to get through it quicker, but on days off... how I get through it often sets the tone for the day. I have so many things I need to do/could be doing but it just feels like I am burnt out all day from that alone. Guess the answer is to get up and get moving! I used to loaf around on days off and it was great and relaxing... sometimes... but I suppose I am going to have to be an "early to bed early to rise" person thanks to Brain and the Big A lol Hang in there, friend.
