I feel nothing
I feel nothing at all, not even when I compulsively look at younger people I need help, I’m so scared, it’s like I don’t care any more about anything or peoples basic human rights

I went through something similar to this...if I am right in assuming that OCD is causing it, then what's happened is that you've emotionally exhausted yourself, so you're going into depression. It's okay; you're likely going to feel kind of numb and are not going to experience much emotionally for a while. You may feel detached from everything and not care about anything. Just focus on today, and don't stress about the future; I know it feels scary, but it's going to go away, I promise. In the meantime, don't worry about caring; unless you make it real, what goes on inside your mind isn't going to affect the external world, anyway. Worry about yourself and living. Don't make any big choices. Just survive for now and you'll make it out, and make sure to call someone if you need help.

Hello Forest! I totally understand what you’re going through! Whatever the root cause of feeling numb might be might not necessarily matter in the moment, it’s just that you feel like you can’t relate to basic human emotions and desires, right? That’s pretty frightening (even if you feel you don’t feel frightened, though it sounds like you are!)- humans are emotional beings and being without that feels unnatural. But it’s good to remember that you CARE about feeling these emotions. I remember reading somewhere that it’s simply enough to care about caring. If you force those emotions or constantly check them, you’re just going to set yourself up for disappointment as OCD tends to do. In the meantime, I would suggest trying to set up a routine where you do meaningful activities (and again, try not to ruminate about whether they bring you some kind of emotional response!) . I also am quite emotionally numb, and it’s something my OCD frequently tries to latch onto to convince me of all sorts of awful things about myself. It’s definitely not fun, but remember that you can get through this!
When I was half asleep today, trying to wake up, my brain kept asking me if I thought this picture of my friend was attractive, I kept replying with “ maybe, I don’t know, I really can’t tell” .. or… “ I feel like I do” “ maybe I do” “ I feel like I might” ,, and then I’m like wait she’s 13 in these pictures, I’m not sure if I was aware of it, but still, it doesn’t matter, I’m still saying it and I’m like “why am I saying this??” I generally don’t know how I feel anymore, I don’t wanna be a bad person, I just don’t understand why I think this is play to say, or feel?? Maybe because my brain is trying to justify it? It tries to justify everything wrong, so makes it feel like it so it makes it harder… I feel like a genuine bad person, because I don’t know how I feel about it, I really don’t know, I’m scared does it mean I’m a bad person? Because I don’t know how I feel about it. I asked myself if I’m genuinely attracted. And I don’t know anymore. Because I don’t know how I feel about it anymore, I feel like my brain is playing a part in it because it tries to tell me that it’s not wrong. Yes it is wrong though but it’s like no it’s not wrong, It makes me really scared. I generally feel like I’m attracted to her and that I have nothing against it and I don’t know what to do anymore., some people may argue that it’s not wrong, but I believe it’s wrong. So I have no idea why I fucking said that. I genuinely think it’s over. I don’t know if I actually am anymore. I asked myself do I actually feel attraction, because i used to go to a conclusion and say no I don’t. And actually feel that way. But now I don’t feel anything but like pain. Because I don’t want to be. At the same time I feel like I just lied and I do want to feel attraction. I just wanna explain how I feel but I can’t. All I know and what I can explain, is that when my brain was asking me these things I said “ I feel like I might maybe I do I can’t tell “ and why did I say that to a 13-year-old? Why? And why am I still saying it even after realizing that maybe I shouldn’t be saying it. I’m 16 for goodness sake. I don’t wanna think about these things. My brain is making me feel like I do and I do and I’m like I’m so confused.
From few days I am getting thought that how i would hurt a child but now I am not feeling anxious like I used feel when I used have such kind of thoughts usually I used to have panic attacks and felt extremely anxious. But now I don't feel anything like that ? Now I feel like I am a bad person who would not feel bad if I hurt a child. What's going on can anyone tell me. I feel I will kill myself because I don't want to hurt anyone?
I can’t tell what’s right and wrong anymore. It’s like my moral compass/rationality is completely broken. I could just shut my feelings down whenever. It might sound like a good thing but it also means I wouldn’t feel any remorse or guilt or negative emotions if I were to do something immoral (hypothetically speaking). In contrast, sometimes my feelings get so deep in the way that my rationality cannot win no matter what. My brain does that out of nowhere and I hate it because it ends up triggering my OCD theme and I have to start back up to be able to cope again. It’s like I’ve developed this intense intolerance towards any sort of stress whatsoever, even the good type of stress that helps you grow. My brain just shuts down and mentally I become a kid again and I can’t listen to logic no matter what.
