Yes back in September I had a terrible time of it. My fiancĂ© 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, Iâve returned to work, I have booked my wedding venue and am getting married in 2025. Iâm still scared and I have thoughts come in but itâs getting easier. Find someone who you trust speak to them you may be surprised by their reactions. Take sleep as it comes, donât over think it try and get a little routine if you can. You can survive this, keep pushing even if itâs 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 donât make it relevant" and I know how hard it could be but thatâs the way. Donât make it relevant!

HOCD question
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

How much do you think about your obsession?
Im just wonderingâŠhow many hours a day do you spend thinking about your fear. I spend around 3-9 hours or sometimes more thinking about sexual orientation but i still doubt that i have hocd. I feel like im just in denial and im so scared.

Sleep and OCD?
Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?
