Is waking up agony for anyone else?

It's obviously bad all day for me right now - I'm between meds due to some bad reactions - but waking up is especially painful. It's a jolt to the system and I feel super vulnerable and disoriented. It's awful. (Also, I have nightmares that are pretty terrifying and upon waking, I think they're real. This is unnerving and torturous, just like this overall disorder. Frankly, I think of OCD as a curse or disease.

Anybody else experiencing this as kind of a secondary symptom of this disorder?
