I'm lying in bed, trying to sleep. It's 2:38am. My mind just went into OCD territory, so I needed to quickly distract myself, hence coming here via my mobile. I'm curious as to whether you guys also struggle with sleep, due to obsessions, or, more specifically, intrusive thoughts. I've had this problem for most of my life and it's such a pain in the arse. Anyone with this problem, have any solutions or tips? I tend to just distract myself, until the last moment before I pass out. I also use things like jossticks, hot drinks, relaxing or uplifing media, and stuff like that, to work on my anxiety. Lastly, I don't usually go to bed unless I'm very tired, because I don't want to be alone with my thoughts, in silence, and alone.
