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 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.
And guilt and need to confess. Any tips? - it’s making me having suicidal thoughts.
do you ever feel paralyzed or scared to just get out of bed because what if the thoughts get worse because you're interrupting your mind being distracted i dread having to get up to even use the bathroom. being with my boyfriend helps but then it just gets bad again even while im with him. I just can't function im starting a new job soon too and I'm in online college. I can't bring myself to do any of it. the guilt, shame, anxiety, and fears just take over.
It’s 3am and I’m not doing well. I’m having an overwhelming amount of anxiety. I need to feel mentally clean but I’m dirty. I’ve had bad thoughts and I’m ashamed. I feel like I can’t even write it down. I want to say it aloud to someone but my wife is sleeping right next to me so doing a therapy call would be impossible. I’m feeling helpless. And so guilty for my thoughts.
