• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Just thought i would see if anyone else is like this/or ever does this?

Almost every night i'll lie in bed and just can't sleep until I know everything in my room is just right. I'll be getting more and more tired that my eyes play tricks on me, and i'll keep having to get out of bed to straighten up posters on my wall, over and over again becuase every time I manage to persuade myself there aren't straight, and cant sleep till they are.

And I'll re-arange all the furniture in the early hours of the morning to see if it will look better a different way. My curtians have to be a certain way to before I can sleep.

I'm starting to annoy myself with it all now, I need a good nights sleep! :yawn:

ok...just me then. Now i feel even more stupid!
Nope...not just you. I check the dresser drawers to see if there are any clothes poking out of them.

Sometimes I leave them that way...just for therapy! It's hard though. But try it, it works. Leave one poster crooked, let the anxiety happen...then try going to sleep.

Have you seen a psychiatrist? Please do, before things get out of hand.
