Sleep
Has any1 had intrusive thoughts about sleeping and why we sleep? I love sleeping and taking naps but I get thoughts like your going to forget how to sleep and I'm like what? That makes no sense

I’ve had something similar, but for me it was about blinking. I got scared that I might forget how to do it, even though it didn’t make sense. OCD can make us fixate on things that seem random, like how we sleep, and it tries to convince us it’s a big deal. It’s just OCD twisting things, it doesn’t mean anything, even if it feels real.

I’m wondering if anyone has any insight or tips
So recently I have been talking to this guy and I really like him and for the past week I felt really good and happy about it, but then a sneaky intrusive thought popped up about what if in the future when and if the time comes to sleep in the same bed, I inappropriately touch him while he’s sleeping. Now I’ve struggled with sexual intrusive thoughts like that before so my brain just kept reminding me of how that thought felt the last time it came up, and the thoughts of sexually harming this person started snowballing and making me feel worse and worse. I spent most of the day crying and panicking wishing my brain could just shut down, and now all I want to do is hide from this person so I don’t get the chance to hurt him, which makes me feel even worse because I had been feeling so good about him just the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if they might have any insight
