Good morning !🙂↕️
Does anyone else wake up with such a guilt feeling or like a very heavy heart from your sleep like tired of feeling or still having ugly thoughts in your mind?

Yep. Every morning. It’s usually worse when I first wake up because I’m bombarded by guilt and intrusive thoughts. Gotta regulate.
Yes every morning and night. Its a torture, how i wish i wake up energetic, hopeful and happy. Feels like a living hell everyday 😪
@Kpika It feels like it took your life away I understand, I wake up everyday wishing to have my old life and how I would complain back then.
@yaya_zz Me too, how i wish i can get back my normal life. Haiz, i hope it will someday. I wish you too. Just to let you know that i feel you, we can get through this, this shall pass, virtual hugs!
yes. i had a really bad episode last night and i just woke up right now and the second i woke up i immediately started thinking about those thoughts again. it’s tough, but we’ll get through it.
Omg yes. You are not alone. When I was in the pits of OCD hell, I’d wake up and my mind would immediately recall, my heart would race, and my stomach would drop. I don’t wish it on my worst enemy. My brain wouldn’t even give me 5 minutes to wake up in peace. I think what you are describing here is actually one of the worst things about having OCD.
Mornings and nights are worse for me. I cannot get more than 3 hrs of sleep. I wake up every hour feeling anxious and it takes me some time to calm down and try again.
Absolutely. Yup. I worry when I gotta sleep and then I also worry about how it’ll be when I’ll wake up. Because these thoughts start before I even wake up.
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?
some days I wake up with so much dread and guilt. It makes it so hard to keep going. I open my eyes and I’m hit with a wave of nausea and terror. I feel ashamed of my compulsions and my OCD. I feel like a monster for my checking compulsions. For momentarily sexualizing things that shouldn’t be sexualized out of anxiety. I’m ashamed of a lot that I give into because of anxiety. Confessing things that are meaningless to my boyfriend. I feel so awful and unworthy of existing and of love. I feel hopeless I don’t want to keep pushing, the more I push the more meta my OCD becomes and the more guilt I feel for this mental illness. The more confusing it becomes to do ERP. If compulsions are a choice, they feel like life or death and it’s driving me insane, I beat myself up so badly over them I’m scared of compulsions, I’m scared of thoughts, I’m scared to be awake, I’m even scared of sleeping because my intrusions and compulsions haunt me there too. I spend my dreams trying to explain or justify my OCD and compulsions to people. I’m exhausted, I want this to stop so badly. My severe OCD isn’t feeling any less severe and it’s been months. I don’t want to keep questioning my every move but I’m so hyperaware of everything I do. I’m so tired. Some days I don’t even have tears to cry with. I’m just so full of despair and shame
i woke up with my heart racing this morning. i feel like the Lord wouldn’t treat me that way. i feel guilty and i feel like i just keep messing up at every step in my walk w the Lord. i literally just woke up feeling bad. i hadn’t even done anything. i had just opened my eyes!! i’m glad i got called into work so i can do something to take my mind off of the thoughts.
