Adjusted appropriately at the end of daylight savings time.
All the OCD thoughts come out, anxiety skyrockets, and the urges come so intensely.
I should be glad they occur at a time when it is really inconvenient to act on them and so they are relatively safe.
But I'm not glad! I want to sleep from 3am to 6am! I want to sleep without waking up over and over, drenched with sweat from some imagined error that will bring on disaster, or muscles tensed to act on some impossible impulse.
And if I take extra Klonopin when I wake up, I'm not at my best the next morning. So I just try relaxation techniques, which work well enough - until I fall back asleep. Then it starts all over. I just can't control my mind when I sleep.
Sorry to vent all over the place.
