Suggest to not even think about it , when I think that it gets worse in my sleep / in morning etc. I put myself back into ocd cycle rather enjoying my day. Because when night or day comes i will be thinking "this is time when ocd gets worse" and then you think about it. It's in a way a complusion?

totally get how tough it can be when you're tired and your symptoms flare up. it's like everything feels ten times harder, right? 😓 you should try "unstuck", it's this new ai-powered therapy tool specifically for ocd (just google "unstuck app for ocd"). my nocd therapist recommended it to me, and honestly, it's been a game changer this past month. might help you too.

Does anyone struggle the worst at night?
I feel like it’s just me. But at night when I start to fall asleep, play on my phone, or watch TV; I’ll get major intrusive thoughts and a butt load of anxiety. Has anyone felt the same about this? How have you managed it? It’s getting exhausting and even causes me to sleep-less.

Question about thoughts intensification
I want to know if this an ocd thing because I haven't read about it when I started searching of the disorder to make sure I had it (that before my diagnosis) Does your thoughts get worsened when you are falling sleep or are half awake half sleep? I noticed mines would get intensified when I'm trying very hard to stay awake or when I'm close to falling asleep
