Ocd before sleeping.

Does anybody’s ocd act up really bad before they go to sleep? Mine is almost crippling before I go to sleep. Don’t get me wrong it’s bad during the day but seems to flare up worse going to sleep. I think it’s because I know once I lay down there is no getting up to wash hands or turn on and off something until just right or certain rituals that are common. It’s time to relax and I don’t think my ocd likes that lol. Just wondering if anyone else experiences that it’s a very horrible feeling. I re do and re do until I almost get stuck in the loop. For literal hours. Any advice? <33

Yes I experience this. I analogize the feeling to a bike that is going really fast with the chains popped off. No matter how hard I am pedalling (how much I am actively thinking) the bike is still speeding down the road (my OCD thoughts flaring up) I think this is because I worked so hardd during the day that my brain is still struggling to wind down. So I fix this by prolonging my bedtime routine, and doing something relaxing like reading, no social media, YouTube, TV.

My partners mad because of my OCD

Last night I was staying at my boyfriend’s house and couldn’t sleep. I felt like i desperately needed to go back to my parents and clean and organize my room. This has happened a few times before when I was staying at his place. Since then he’s been very upset with me. Does anyone else’s partner do this? Any advice? It’s been hard. He’s made me feel so shameful for having OCD. As if it’s not tough enough /:

New obsession

I’ve noticed this new obsession with having to pee right before bed, like even if I have to pee a little I can’t fall asleep until my bladder is completely empty. Anyone else have a problem like this or knows how to cope?
