This happened to me today (I have hand tremors as a side effect of the medicine I’m on). :)

[Image: 6-piece blue colored background with a Siamese cat.Text reads: “BEING TREATED FOR HYPERSOMNIA / “JUST DON’T NAP”] 

I primarily have OCD and depression, along with some other smaller anxiety disorders, and one of my brain’s favorite coping mechanisms is sleep. I need 12 hours of sleep a day at least, and if I don’t sleep, I get so tired that I get delusional. My therapist said “just don’t nap.” Ok. Right. I’ll get right on that.

people who say they have ocd to seem quirky but really they’re just clean

I hope I’m not the only person who legitimately finds it fun to organize a pill box. (“Upside” part was sarcasm. Obviously I find no “upside” to my Fibromyalgia.)

This just happened to me. I have no idea what to do.

upped my dosage of depression meds just before the school year started. can’t tell if new insomnia problem is that, or stress, or just because my brain decided it didn’t have enough issues already.

I’ve actually gotten this a lot and it’s probably one of the most annoying things about the disorder. OCD isn’t just being obsessive over cleanliness, for some it is, but for a lot of people it isn’t. It’s a much more complex disorder than that.

You know it’s true.

Sorry for submitting so many of these.  It’s been a chronic illness cat kind of week…
