Anyone else have dreams where you are either worried about or doing OCD rituals/compulsions? Sometimes they are so vivid that I wake up anxious and I find it peculiar that OCD can be on your mind even when you are asleep.
Yes! My dreams about OCD are so realistic sometimes. Unfortunately when the thoughts are on our minds all day, it’s likely to appear in our dreams too. It’s so tough but keep pushing through. You got this!
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)
Anyone struggle with this with having ocd?
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?
