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!
So I was on a hat chat gpt and it said that people who are non-offenders experience distress and anxiety and disgust and depression and they feel ashamed of being a non-offender like WHAT like that's honestly terrifying and I'm so scared because that's how I've been feeling like when I'm out I get anxiety too especially when I see a younger person I always been attracted to MEN my whole life can people turn into monsters and I don't even care if they have problems if there attracted to kids then there sick in the head like don't care like this has been sharing me soo much and the worst part about it is that they said some are in denial or suppress their attractions I'm so done...... I can not do this this is too much I would rather be gone from this earth than find out that I might be one like you have to be kidding me if you're attracted to young people and desire that you're sick and dead to me you're a monster I don't care like its disgusting. for this eole some people are suffering from POCD like me are scared to think about that and I'm terrified.
Pocd feels real again and I can’t tell if I’m actually attracted or not. can’t believe it got this bad again. I used to be able to go “no I don’t like that, go away” and now it feels like I do like it and want it, and it’s starting to linger longer so it feels more real. I’m avoiding checking but I’m so scared that what if it’s true. Is it because I have not been doing my exposures? I’m not sure, but every time a 14 year old person comes to my head, I keep hearing something go “they’re attractive” and it sounds like me so I panic, and it makes me even more scared because I’m not feeling bad about it??? I saw some kid at Walmart that had long black hair and my brain kept saying shit and no matter how much I say I don’t feel that way, it won’t shut up, i want to check 1000 times to make sure. But I know it’s not worth it. I’m trying so hard
Has anyone ever just felt weird? It’s hard to explain but I just feel weird lately. I usually suffer with harm OCD and I feel like lately I’m not reacting to things I normally would. There’s certain things that will trigger me a little but then other times (like over the last few days) it’s like I feel nothing. I’ll get thoughts and because I don’t feel the physical sensation in my chest or get very emotional like I normally would it’s weird to me. Does this mean I’m liking the thoughts now? Or like I’m comfortable with those actions happening? I’m so confused. Has anyone ever gone through this?
