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. :)
Thank you and sometimes when it gets real bad the obsession and the thinking keeps continuing in my dream..it's like I can't even rest properly š©
@Anonymous Oh my god I hate when I have dreams of my obsessions. They scare me so badly and usually just kinda ruin my day. Ocd suckssss ā¹ļø
Why is night so hard to resist compulsions. I have this idea in my head or my ocd tells me that my thoughts will be stuck with me or it will become real if I donāt do the compulsion before I fall asleep
does anyone elseās thoughts/compulsions get worse as it gets later in the day?
but does anyone elseās intrusive thoughts and false memories get worse during the night or like as soon as the sun sets? itās gotten to a point now where i dread the sun setting because ik itās gonna be worse. i donāt know if this has anything to do with ocd??
