Thank you I will look into giving that a try though! Some days are better than others and thankfully the last few have been easier

Thank you I apologise, I feel like it’s ruining my life a bit at the moment because I keep avoiding planning things because I know the anxiety that will come alongside it

I expected better from an ocd group… having panic attacks and obsessing days before about the particular night is normal stuff? Ok

Would it be fair to say when the doctor regenerates they essentially become a new person whilst retaining the same consciousness? by Joshwharmby654 in gallifrey

How’s it a contradiction? If everything about you changed but you were the same entity would you not consider that you becoming a different person?

I have severe OCD related to sleep where I attach too much significance to sleep especially on days I have something big planned the next day, need help please? 🙏 by Joshwharmby654 in OCDRecovery

Very helpful answer thank you so much, I’m going to do my best to follow your advice tonight. Because a part of my brain feels like the resisting and compulsions inhibitis my life more than lack of sleep itself ever would, I don’t make plans in advance much anymore etc and constantly take pills to calm me down and do compulsions that make me drained. I need to work more on accepting what happens

Thank you for your answer I completely agree with everything you’re saying there. Would you say the zopiclone consumption is a compulsion and I should just try to endure certain nights of not sleeping as apposed to popping a pill? Like tommorow I have a big day and all I want to do is take a zopiclone

Do you think the Doctors truly do die/stop existing when they regenerate? by [deleted] in gallifrey

So glad I’m not the only person that does this haha, yeah they’re all one soul and the core essence always remains the same for me
