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

my ocd is the worst when I get up in the morning. I journal before I go to work and when I’m off but some days the fear worries overtake me before I leave the house and then it takes me forever to leave the house because of the self checking compulsion that has to do with appearance. Does anyone have any strategies or suggestions?

Does anyone relate? I have really bad schizo OCD.. and before I had a lot of other themes but because the schizo theme is current and taking over the other ones have kind of been pushed to the side and all I can focus on is becoming crazy.. Well these past couple of days have been bad and as soon as I wake up I have this like really uncomfortable feeling in my chest.. no matter how much sleep I get or if I wasn’t stressed before going to bed. Then another thing I guess since I don’t have thoughts about really anything else for the day (ex. What are my tasks today, I’m excited for this today, oh I’m hungry.. etc) my thoughts are kind of all over the place about my schizo ocd and then it’s to the point I have random conversations that don’t even make sense in my head or I hear family members voices in my head saying something but it’s like I know it’s all my mind doing it but it still confuses me why random thoughts I didn’t think pop up or why I’m hearing it in their voice but this only happens when I first wake up or if I’m falling asleep. Then once it happens my brain is like.. does this mean I’m going crazy and starting to hear voices.. idk it’s literally driving me crazy..
