Yes, I feel it's so triggered at night. It feels easier to handle during the day but as soon as nighttime hits, my OCD gets worse.

Do you know why? Because at night you have nothing else to do, and you can't escape the jail of thoughts to other activities. That's why sleeping early and waking up early, make sure you can interact with reality. Walking outside in the sun, meet people...etc. and overall your routine, to overcome your addictions and hence compulsions, are part of the treatment.

YES I feel this. It sucks because then I feel like I can't sleep from it. The other night I stayed up until like 4 or 5 from real events OCD. Its bad during the day when I'm around people but at night it's like I actually have time to think about it. You're not alone man. :)

Late onset OCD
Anyone else develop it in their 30s? I’m 33 and just started showing symptoms in October 2024. So far have only been diagnosed with GAD , PD and depression.I started having intrusive thoughts after a series of panic attacks . My compulsions would be googling. I have made an effort to stop though because it only makes me feel worse. My intrusive thoughts have been around fear of going crazy

Is this perfectionism OCD or am I just stressed?
So this is not a very major thing at all, but it's something that came up yesterday and I couldn't sleep because of it. I'm a big fan of this video game, it's called Xenoblade Chronicles X. Well, after 10 years, it's finally getting a re-release on modern platforms. It's super exciting. From the clips I've seen, it seems to be a very faithful remaster that improves upon the imperfections of the original. However, what my brain is stressed about is that they sort of changed the user interface/font style of the game in order to make it more legible and less crowded. They also revamped some of the character models too. Not a bad thing at all, but I was such a big fan of the old user interface that all the new changes are stressing me out. It's making me want to purchase old hardware just so I can replay the original instead of the re release So all day I've been looking at side-by-side comparisons and getting disappointed by the new one. Which sucks because there is objectively nothing wrong with it! All of my dreams last night were about the game and I wasn't able to get proper sleep. So is this perfectionism OCD or is this an aftereffect of my other subtypes or am I just being extra nitpicky?
