I just posted about this yesterday and someone had a really good response. When you wake up in the morning feeling like crap, acknowledge the thoughts presence and accept the fact that what you’re feeling is there and you can’t push the thought away. Once you do this set a plan for what you’re going to do for the day. I personally find that staying away from your bedroom the first hour after you wake up puts me in a better mood.

Yes and I can’t stop thinking about that thoughts in the morning so it ruins my day too. I have struggled with letting the thoughts go but sometimes I try to forget but this hardly works for me.

@Olivia McGuigan I don’t want to tell my parents cause they will think I’m weird these thoughts always lead to unnecessary compulsions that consume me and I feel defeated if I don’t act on them

Yes, I have had some really vivid upsetting dreams as I woke up I felt very distressed, and now I feel distant. I need tips too because I always think thoughts are facts, but then I check for feelings too (rocd)

You got to remember its our sub-conscious that controls our dream and we have no control over that, and our ocd likes to control our dream but you got to remember we are not in control of our dream and are dream do not reflect us. I can relate the same thing happens to me, if its a rly bad dream ill be caught up about it for like 2-3 days, i try to remember its not me but all ocd tips are easier saud than done

HOCD question
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

OCD in the morning
Each night I go to bed determined to stop compulsions and start beating this disorder. Then I wake up and it smacks me in the face first thing and I’m doing a compulsion before I know it. I told my therapist that I would try to handle it like we do in session, but I’ve already failed. It seems like I can’t bring ERP into my “real” life.

OCD harm tw
Honestly ocd has been so tough these past months, like I wake up in the morning thinking I accidentally hurt my whole family and just don’t remember. And I start to question so much. And freak out thinking that I did. If anyone can relate I would love to hear from you ;) and any things that may helped you
