@leokatiecbt: Bedtime can become one of the hardest parts of the day when OCD starts demanding certainty before you can rest. You might check that the alarm is set correctly, get out of bed to unplug something you never even used, ask again whether the door is locked, or check windows even when there is no realistic reason to worry. And just when you finally start drifting off, one intrusive thought can pull you completely awake again. When OCD shows up at night, the body may be exhausted while the mind is still searching for reassurance. #ocd #ocdsleep #ocdawareness #checkingcompulsions #intrusivethoughts
