I find that healthy coping mechanisms that involve intense sensory input help- like a cold shower, or holding ice. Or even focusing on little things, like your breathing or the "five game"- finding five things in the space you're in that fit each of the five senses. However, if these trigger your OCD, don't use them! Just what I've picked up from CBT therapy. You're not alone.

Anyone get this in the beginning and it go away? I posted yesterday how I was feeling pretty good. But realistically it’s only 2 weeks into 5mg so it’s early on and I’ll probably need to move up to 10mg. I’m feeling out of it today like the anxiety isn’t there but it’s like derealization/a calm anxiety if that makes sense lol. Like I just don’t feel real:/
