Hi everyone, it’s hard for me to open up to people

There are a ton of people on here who also have trouble sleeping because of OCD. I’m one of them. Know that you’re never alone.

I am one of those. Though it has been a life long thing, there have been times where it was so bad i just didn’t sleep or got just an hour or so. It is really hard to deal with. Sometimes i stay to focus on my tired and relax then as much as possible, then work my way up to my eyes and head. This has actually worked for me when i did it. Perhaps it could help, worth a shot. If you need, there’s a blue button on the Home Screen that you can use to access tools to help with things you are struggling with. It may be a valuable resource for you as well. I hope the best for you, truly.

Im another. It may not be much comfort but you are not alone!!! Try cutting back on caffeine, especially after a certain time of the day. Turn off your phone and other screens by a certain time and allow yourself to be free of internet eyc and start getting ready for bed. Get enough exercise throughout your day and try not to exercise at night. These are just some things I think help. Meditation, praying, calming things before bed make me more relaxed and that means it is more likely I falll.asleep at a,decent time. Best to you!!!🙏🤗😊

Me too. I've tried melatonin, magnesium, and even nyquil. They didn't help. Melatonin & nyquil interact with my medication, so I can't take those anyway.

Thank you all for your advice. I do only have one cup of coffee in the morning and nothing else.
