In reply to Re: Bedtime rituals., posted by mair on May 18, 2002, at 13:52:41

Last night was just a bad night. Lots of OCD thoughts and self injury urges.

I do know the relaxation techniques and I do use them. I usually don't find myself staying up for long stretches of time, although when I wake up in a panic I do get up and do something to dissipate the energy. But then I go back to bed and consciously relax and let the thoughts go. The problem is that once I am asleep again, I lose control of my thoughts and wake up again. It's not easy to practice CBT in your sleep! :)

I actually think the problem might possibly be that I blank things out too much during the day and my subconscious forces them back on me when I'm in a light state of sleep. Hence the 3-6 am. I must sleep more lightly then. But that's just a theory. Who knows.

But thanks for letting me vent.
