Does anyone's OCD get worse at a certain time of the day?

[HIMYM24]

I posted recently about my multiple OCD that I was struggling with and I have started to notice that the peak of my anxiety and struggle is between 12 and 1 in the afternoon. That's when I struggle the most and feel the most alone. Anyone else notice this kind of pattern in themselves?

Mine peaks at night when I’m trying to go to bed. My mind races I have to wash my hands a million times before I finally calm down and am able to fall asleep.

Sounds hectic, sorry to hear nights are difficult. I remember when I was younger I used to have to check my bed for bugs all over and switch the light on and off until I felt comfortable. Usually 6 or 8 times (an even number)

That is awful. I have to turn the faucet 3 times each time I do the ritual, I have to do the ritual at least 20 times before I’m able to go to sleep. What’s weird about it though, is I don’t have the compulsions at work, just at home. It’s like my mind is too focused on work to be bothered by my ocd but at home it’s on full speed.

Sounds tiring, someone told me that when you are focused on something and busy (like at work) then it usually isn't a problem.

It gets worse in the afternoon, for sure.

I have noticed my anxiety sometimes reaches a peak between 11 am and midday.

My cycle starts first thing in the morning anxiety and OCD really kicks in by lunch time it can feel slightly better depending on what my obsession's are on then evenings I can control my thoughts more.
