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
