Why is anxiety worse in the day? I love nights š
Is there a reason why anxiety is better at night for some people. I relax in the evenings but I'm in pain in the days. Panic attacks are debilitating

I'm going through this cycle now, too. I'm sorry youre dealing with it. From other posts, I think you've mentioned you're quite young. I had OCD when I was young too so I can relate. I hope you're able to do ERP... it's helped me a lot. I still have some times where I struggle, of course, but overall I am able to do so much more than before ERP. I'm trying to do ERP despite this challenge but it's so much harder to do when I'm already in panic mode. I haven't quite figured out how to manage it when this happens.
I have the same issue. One of the reasons some of us have the daytime anxiety (according to some experts) is that our body generates a new supply of cortisol, which is the "stress hormone". It's one of the things that helps us wake up in the morning. Our brain/body may keep that flowing as our OCD symptoms flare up. In theory, we may run out of cortisol and adrenaline at some point during the day if it's flowing all day... I don't believe the body can produce an unlimited supply of it. So, our evenings are peaceful. Our bodies recharge and then it begins again in the morning.
Thank you, Ocd is not even the problem anymore im just emotionally exhausted. I'm not burnt out I'm just exhausted emotionally and mentally. Hopefully it goes away. š
I am not a specialist. However I think OCD has a lot to do with sleep schedule..it's true that when I wake up I feel anxious.
So at one point I was glad I was having anxiety/stress about these thoughts but now I feel like something has changed is it normal to not want anxiety and stress even tho it helps me realize these thoughts are not mine. Like the anxiety and stress is doing me no good and it's really messing me up. Is it normal to not want stress and anxiety after awhile or is something wrong with me
iām currently experiencing a panicky anxiety attack and i donāt know why. iāve been on edge all day because of being scared to get sick, but right now, i know iām not going to get sick but iām just really panicked and cannot calm down. iām currently listening to music that helps relax me with an icepack on my neck to help, but not much is happening. my sister and mom keep coming into my room and itās only making it worse but i donāt know why. i just donāt want to talk or be around anyone right now. these kinds of episodes are worse than any other because i donāt know why iām so scared. it just feels like itās never going to go away.
I have panic disorder, and OCD and anxiety. Does anyone else ever feel just off the edge all the time? Like I always feel like somethingās off or somethingās gonna happen. I donāt know how to explain the feeling. But I always feel off and when I feel off I panic
