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
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??
does anyone else feel their ocd gets so much worse at night or even when it gets dark?
Is anyoneās OCD just a 1,000 times worse in the night? To where youāve convinced yourself (especially if you wake up between 3-5 am)that youāre completely a different person than who you want to be? Sometimes Iām scared itās like psychosis or something because of how intense the thoughts and feelings are.. Has anyone else felt this way? Is this a symptom of medication wearing off in the night??
