Anyone else just spend as much time as possible sleeping because that's the only time when your brain isn't firing on all cylinders like it's about to explode. Fuck.

I am so sorry you feel this way. I had this months ago before treatments when my ocd was very bad :( are you going to a therapist ? Please don’t believe your thoughts?we are with you

I wish I could sleep long hours. I get a solid three at night then I wake up around 3 more times before just getting up for the day.

I absolutely understand your predicament. I was too the point where I felt that sleeping WAS living and being awake was the lack of living. I was also to the point where I couldn’t leave my house because of the anxiety from my spikes. I couldn’t drive by myself, and going into public anywhere by myself was horrible. I had to walk with my head down while squinting at the same time as to block out people from my view. I cried all the time, and of course slept and slept.

I am doing better thanks. I hope you continue on your journey and find mental wellness. I don’t believe OCD can trap us all forever. I think this because I can remember a time long ago when OCD was just three letters to me and meant nothing..at one time us OCD sufferers were standing on solid ground and mentally wholesome..then at some point we somehow started digging that solid ground with a shovel and kept making s bigger and bigger hole. So in that same sense it stands to reason that if we can find a so called missing link and the final pieces of the OCD puzzle we can then start shoveling all that dirt back in that hole and be standing once again on solid unearthed ground...I feel if we can all work together we can find enlightenment.

Of course! We ARE the answer! Good luck FHFF and JCM.

Currently what I am going through besides work I am in bed I can’t seem to find any motivation anymore

Done the sleeping thing forever.

Absolutely JCM thank you very much.

Thank you, I appreciate the thoughtful response. Reading it just felt right, and i'm glad to hear this from people who can empathize. All supporting eachother to climb out of our pits.

Yes, I literally want nothing more than to just sleep the rest of my life away. If this is how I'm going to live, I dont want to.

My parents also know the extent of my obsessions. I’ve been researching tirelessly on my own time to figure out if all the subtypes of OCD have a common interest or common link. I was thinking if we can figure out what it is then we can learn how to better treat it.

Me all the time I sometimes want to sleep all day

If we met in person, here is my hand ✋. Don't let this weigh you down. I have been in your position before. This feeling won't last forever. Life is strange that way and precious. Get help. We only have one life, we get to live it the way we want.

Twyler guy I’m with JCM on this one. I have been in your shoes as well. Definitely seek out help. We are also all your friends and here if you ever need advice.
