I should probably take sleeping pills to sleep Thoughts: what’s if u don’t wake up What if ur child get into ur pills cause u thought u left them closed but they weren’t Gets up from the bed every 6mins to make sure the room is clear of anything harmful in case my child wakes up before me What if someone gets hurt and it’s my fault What if I can’t sleep cause something is gonna happen and god wants me awake to prevent it What if what if what if why can’t I just get some shit eye

Personally when I run into this occasionally I will pick myself up out of bed and just start my day early with some chores. Sleeping pills I am unable to take normally, due to side effects and withdrawal symptoms from them .

Understand what you are going through. You are not alone. Do the opposite of OCD thoughts is the only way to starve those nasty 'what ifs' thoughts I take melatonin for short periods. It helps me calm and sleep well. I love the fact that its not habit forming and no major side effects for me so far.

I have work at 4am tomorrow and normally am asleep by 9 or 10 at the latest to be up by 2:30. But the thoughts are so bad I’m afraid of even closing my eyes and lately I’ve been going to bed at 6pm to fall asleep by midnight. I’m so over this. Any tips for falling asleep without getting bad thoughts. I keep picturing imperfect things or reliving every event that triggered me throughout the day. Last night I literally tried falling asleep without closing my eyes (which is impossible) then had to work today running on 3 hours of heavily interrupted sleep. I’m so exhausted and just over this.

Sleep deprivation

Another night of waking up at 5am with intrusive thoughts & fears. Fears of someone breaking into my house and harming me, fear of house fires and being unable to get my mom & cats out, being overwhelmed with “all the things I need to do” the next day. Obsessing to check the downstairs camera. It’s exhausting and causes me lack of sleep. And then I’m unable to sleep for hours after I wake up sometimes.. and my cat will wake me up in the morning. It’s driving me crazy. 😞😞😞😞 I also need all of my blankets perfectly aligned or I can’t sleep, make my bed every single day bc of it, cannot sleep with pants on or tight clothing. Etc. list goes on…

Wake up

Even when I fall asleep feeling really good I will wake up in guilt and scared I have harm ocd and it’s like I’m scared I did something in my sleep so I feel better when everyone in my family is asleep I also lock my door at night and it’s always still locked when I wake up which helps a little but I’m not sure what to do all this stems from an article I seen about a guy who dreamt of fighting flamingos and ended up killing his family and this scared me sooo much
