I woke up this morning and felt the same way- I had to remind myself over and over that dreams are just thoughts too. The more you do that, the less the dreams will have this effect on you.

Same. I had an awful dream lastnight of something I often obsess over, and it really shook me all morning. I usually try to do some affirmations and acknowledge it was just a dream, and I am in control of my thoughts. (It may not always feel that way,) but I can try to redirect my focus into something more constructive & positive. Sorry & I hope it turns around for you!

So recently I have been talking to this guy and I really like him and for the past week I felt really good and happy about it, but then a sneaky intrusive thought popped up about what if in the future when and if the time comes to sleep in the same bed, I inappropriately touch him while he’s sleeping. Now I’ve struggled with sexual intrusive thoughts like that before so my brain just kept reminding me of how that thought felt the last time it came up, and the thoughts of sexually harming this person started snowballing and making me feel worse and worse. I spent most of the day crying and panicking wishing my brain could just shut down, and now all I want to do is hide from this person so I don’t get the chance to hurt him, which makes me feel even worse because I had been feeling so good about him just the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if they might have any insight

Hello NOCD community! Do yall ever get really bad thoughts before going to bed? Like really old ones that come out of nowhere and then you start to spiral (feelings of dread and anxiety)? Lately I’ve been having a hard sleeping like my brain simply won’t let me rest! Random thoughts will pop up in my head, lately more how people perceive me thoughts like “what if all these people hate me or think I’m a bad person? What if I did something in my past that makes people think I’m weird/disgusting?” I know I’m a very nice and kind person but I can’t seem to shake these thoughts off. Any words of advice when trying to sleep or tools that you use before you hit the hay?
