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!

Really anxious today
I was really anxious before I went to bed last night so I couldn't stop checking my phone because i kept getting scared i was gonna somehow use my phone while asleep and send people horrible messages. Then I managed to fall asleep but then i woke up really early in the morning and just couldn't get to sleep and my mind was racing. And then it somehow unearthed false memories from a few weeks ago. Then I had this thought that "I remember" and it just made me more anxious because I know I didn't do anything but my brain is trying to tell me that I remember. OCD makes no sense sometimes, but it's still scary all the same. I hope that everyone has a good day, or at least a better day than yesterday if you're having a rough time <3

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?
