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?

@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.

Yep. Every morning. It’s usually worse when I first wake up because I’m bombarded by guilt and intrusive thoughts. Gotta regulate.

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 totally get where you're coming from. waking up with that heavy, guilty feeling can be really tough. 😔 it's like your mind doesn't even give you a break, even in sleep. i deal with a different ocd theme myself, but i totally understand that exhaustion from constant battling with your thoughts. i found something that might be helpful though - there's this app called "unstuck ocd therapy tools" that my local ocd support group recommended. it's designed to give you ai-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. also, the ocd stories podcast has been a game-changer for me; it's full of insights and experiences from others dealing with ocd, which can be super comforting and informative.

does anyone else get morning anxiety or rather, anxiety whenever you wake up? doesn't really matter what time, but by the time you're awake, you get anxious and your problems seem like they multiplied as if sleeping collected all your troubles and threw them at you by the time you woke up

Waking up
Does anyone else become nervous and upset the moment they wake up in the morning? It’s like part of me wishes I didn’t wake up or could just stay asleep. It’s scary and I’m not sure what to do in the morning when I feel like I’m trapped in bed.

Mornings...
I felt so much better yesturday later in the day...but mornings have been so hard my fight or flight starts as soon as I wake up...my heart doesn't stop and I just start to throw up...my intrusive thoughts just start to try to make scenarios or images I don't want and make me feel like it's real but there not...I hate mornings I hate not being able to sleep comfortably anymore makes me think mybe I shouldn't deserve to be here anymore it's just so hard...
