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 :)

Morning dread
I always feel the most anxiety and dread in the morning. That’s when I start overthinking a lot, and it becomes really hard not to seek reassurance on the internet and so on. What do you all do to ease the morning anxiety a bit?

Anxiety throughout the day
Hey, wondering if anyone has tips for constant anxiety, particularly in the morning. I went through a break up 2 months ago. I’m still v sad and doing compulsions but feel I’ve definitely shifted to some form of acceptance. I have also tried reducing my compulsions. However, every single day I wake up with immense anxiety, my stomach and chest is tight and it’s like this throughout the day. I’m currently waiting for therapy but any tips or experiences will be great to hear!
