Mornings and nights can be difficult for me too. It helps for me to meditate and pray (or gratitude journal if you're not religious) when waking up and/or before bed.

My ocd is the strongest at night, that seems to be common for a lot of people with ocd. I wonder if it is because you not thinking about something ,so ocd fills up the think space in your brain. Not sure but going to work after little to no sleep ,or stressful sleeps really sucks.

Mine is the morning too, especially when it flairs up. Don’t lay in bed and hope to go back to sleep. Get up and get moving. Do the opposite that OCD wants you to do, almost all the time. We’ve got this!

I get how you’re feeling too my flare ups have been happening a lot the past week or so on and off with so many symptoms and I’m not even getting to sleep until after midnight some nights. Always know that you are not alone in this and we are all here for you :)

The Morning Anxiety
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?

Anyone else has this happen?
Anyone else just have days where they feel more calm and don’t have as many intrusive thoughts? But then later at night time it just comes back so you only had relief even for a little bit 😞😞 I feel like even when I’m not having my OCD send me intrusive thoughts, I always have a feeling in my stomach that something is wrong/off or a sense of doom. I always just feel on edge and anxious as if my mind is always preparing itself for the next horrifying intrusive thought to torment me with ugh 🫠
