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.

@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.

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.

sleep deprived and drained
I have barely slept in three days, maybe two hours a night. I feel so overwhelmed and uncomfortable right now. I cannot, for the life of me, stop confessing. I feel absolutely unforgivable, like no matter what it is, I am irredeemable. These waves of guilt and dread keep hitting me so hard. Every time I sleep, all I do is dream-ruminate. I analyze every tiny detail of whatever I am obsessing over, even in my sleep. It almost feels easier to stay awake, not that I have been able to do anything else. I feel so drained. I am scared to sleep. I hate my brain. I feel so anxious.

Guilt
I woke up very late today because my son kept me up all night because he is teething so I didn’t fully wake up until 6am. These past months have been crippling because of my ocd, depression and anxiety. So crippling to the point I have been terrified to leave my bed. Because I haven’t been leaving the room often I am starting to come off as lazy to my mother in law and I have been slacking on helping around the house. My mother in law has surgery on Tuesday and needs us to help out more. I got up to do the dishes the other day and had to stop because I was having a flare up and felt like I was going to over heat from anxiety. I laid down and never finished the dishes. Today she came home really mad at my husband and I because we haven’t been helping and the guilt is eating me alive. I want to apologize but I don’t want to bring up how I have been feeling because I don’t want it to come off as an excuse. I don’t want this to lead to a point where I’m suffering because of it and I don’t want it to ruin her perception of me. I just feel awful that I’m letting this take over my life. Moments like this make me feel useless and I lose hope of ever getting better. what if I never get better. She does so much for me and I’m letting her down💔
