Yeah, it's depersonalization / derealization. It's caused by ocd when you're too overwhelmed. I'm dealing with it

Everytime I have a severe suicidal episode since my depression is definitely connected with my OCD.

@chelsbingy yes! not that much in the mirror, but looking at pictures i feel it way too hard. i get so sad because i dont feel like the girl i used to be, and also i miss being that girl! my ocd keeps making me doubt if i was ever that confident and had all that self love and makes me worry i was broken and insecure back when i didnt have ocd about a year ago, but its the opposite. i really, really miss being that fine and happy with myself. i was so content. in some way, being that happy was what made me go into an existential/suicidal obsession cycle. it felt like my happiness was beinh threatened

dont you worry! depersonalisation hits the strongest individuals, and it’ll dissappear as you lower your stress levels. worrying about it only adds to your ongoing struggle

thats exactly what it feels like! someone cutting the power to your identity. just gone. it can feel as though someone wiped your harddisc, and now everything seems new and scary. like you could crumble into nothing by just going for a walk in the park, because existence seems so intense now that your usual way of dealing with things is completely gone. its very scary, but luckily just a harmless symptom of anxiety

I guess that’s just DP though it makes you feel like you lost your identity. We will get better!!

anyone else? If not pls help
TW// nsfw and 18 up pls i can self pleasure without even realizing it. not like full blown, but it just happens when i dissociate and think about past flings or whenever im bored. just like casual touching myself. sometimes it happens when im scrolling on my phone or when im doing school work. what sucks is sometimes kids will pop up on my phone and for example today i was doing studies on a mental health in children. when i came to, basically becoming fully aware, i was like wtf. because of what was on my screen and what i was researching. it freaked me out really bad and i know it wasn’t with any bad intent it just makes me feel bad if that makes sense. like i dissociate basically and i am doing the touching like on pilot mode if that makes sense so whatever content on my phone or schoolwork isn’t even associated with the act. It just makes me feel like i was doing it to whatever was on my screen which ik I wasn’t bc I would’ve been aware and freaked tf out but I still am freaking out. this has happened before and I just move on bc I know what I was doing and like it wasn’t even a compulsion like “oh am I attracted to this?” Like the compulsions that come with sexual ocd. It was just autopilot dissociative self touching and I just was zoning out while doing my work. idk if this makes sense I probably sound like a monster. I keep having what if thoughts like what if I was doing it to that or what if I am a monster and it’s that bad to the point where I am unaware
