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. :)

Flare ups when stressed.
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?

Can you guys meditate or/and sit in silence?
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!

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?
