Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
This seems to happen to me here and there, mostly when I am really stressed out. Well for about the last week I feel like my mind has been constantly racing about everything. Throughout the day it just is very overwelming and I begin to feel very anxious. I seem to be completely worried about the future, and it is scaring the crap out of me.
I don't know why I am so afraid, and even when I sleep I feel as if I'm not even really getting sleep because by the time I fall asleep (usually a few hours of tossing or turning) and all my dreams feel so true, and I usually know I'm dreaming while it's happening. and well for some reason these dreams are things about my past. Which usually make me feel upset when i wake up. It's just soo frusterating because i feel exhausted as if I am getting no sleep, but my my mind is so energetic it never wants to go off. (sleep)
Ima mess right now ;P probably feel stupid in a few days for bringing this up.

Stress will do all kinds of weird things to us and it manifests in different ways with different people and may not always be the same.
if you aren't getting any sleep you need to see a doctor bc a lack of sleep can cause a multitude of problems, its best to see a pyschiatrist bc they can help you with this.
I hope you get better soon and stay strong!
plz do get help though.
