How Carly went from dreading sleep because of hypnic jerks, OCD, and anxiety to no longer feeling trapped by insomnia (#84)

Carly had a history of OCD and when her attention turned to sleep, she began dreading the moment she drifted off. For hours, hypnic jerks could jolt her awake again and again. Worry and anxiety followed her through the next day.

Even after learning useful skills for OCD, Carly believed recovery meant never having another bad night or anxious thought.

In this episode, Carly shares what changed when she stopped using the absence of symptoms as her measure of progress. She talks about how she moved away from resisting what was out of her control and how that allowed her to move toward the life she wanted to live.
