Yes back in September I had a terrible time of it. My fiancĆ© was on nights and I just couldnt sleep intrusive thoughts were flooding my brain. Whenever I closed my eyes, I was scared to sleep as I knew when I woke up I would be so anxious. I had a breakdown and was signed off work for 4 weeks. It gets better I sleep so much better now. I like to think that it is part of the healing journey of finally facing ocd once and for all. I really urge you seek help and support as soon as I started talking to my partner and mum I started to feel a bit more free. I seeked out help from a therapist and in the space of 4 months, Iāve returned to work, I have booked my wedding venue and am getting married in 2025. Iām still scared and I have thoughts come in but itās getting easier. Find someone who you trust speak to them you may be surprised by their reactions. Take sleep as it comes, donāt over think it try and get a little routine if you can. You can survive this, keep pushing even if itās just little steps a day.

Yes, is horrible but we have to be strong, always remember, when wake up"well I had a bad night but I chose donāt make it relevant" and I know how hard it could be but thatās the way. Donāt make it relevant!

Sleepless in Sleep Anxiety
Hi everyone! Iām not sure if anyone has had any issues with sleep and anxiety but these past couple of weeks Iāve been suffering with anxiety when trying to sleep. My mind will latch on to the idea that I wonāt sleep and Iāll continuously try to fall asleep and end up psychoanalyzing everything im doing . Usually I end up freaking out and not sleeping and waking up with maybe >2 hrs a sleep a night and have an awful day the next day. Iām lowkey hopeless in this situation, Iāve tried melatonin, sleeping early, limited screen time and nothing will work.. does anyone have any tips and tricks on what to do?

Idk if I can do this anymore
It feels like Iām lying to myself constantly and everyone. There feels like there is a weight on my heart from the moment I wake up till I go to sleep. I donāt want to be gay. Idk why it doesnāt register. Now everyone I see I have to see if Iām attracted to them. I see good looking men and I feel like Iām lying to myself that they are good looking, I see women and I see if im attracted to them. I look at everyone and I feel jealous. I want my fucking life back. But now my OCD (if this is even OCD) is telling me I was never happy and I was always suppressing my feelings of being gay. Why is this happening? Can OCD do this? I canāt enjoy anything ever.
