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. :)

Sleep and OCD?
Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?

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 🫠

Does anyone struggle the worst at night?
I feel like it’s just me. But at night when I start to fall asleep, play on my phone, or watch TV; I’ll get major intrusive thoughts and a butt load of anxiety. Has anyone felt the same about this? How have you managed it? It’s getting exhausting and even causes me to sleep-less.
