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

When my boyfriend and I are apart, it honestly feels like I've lost all feelings for him. I start questioning everything, wondering if I even love him at all. Then, when we're finally together again, the memory of those earlier doubts creeps in and completely ruins the moment. I get so caught up in overthinking and analyzing my feelings that I can't even enjoy being with him. It's like I'm constantly second-guessing myself. The worst part is, sometimes later, when we're still together, I do feel the love. But then the anxiety kicks in again! I start worrying that I'm just faking it because I had those doubts earlier in the day. It's this endless cycle of questioning, doubting, and overthinking, and it's exhausting. I'm really struggling to stay present when we're together, and it feels like this constant cycle is preventing me from truly connecting with him. We have been together for three years and we love together, and I just started feeling this way about a month ago; it’s been almost every day since. One day, I randomly thought about breaking up with him. Our relationship is healthy, especially compared to my previous toxic one, where I was anxiously attached for two and a half years. My boyfriend is very supportive of me. I have talked to him about my doubts and everything I’m experiencing, and he continues to support, care for, and help me through it all. I am very grateful for that. One aspect of my current relationship that I would like to improve is our communication, but we are both willing to work on it together. I often find that my overthinking leads me to question whether I really want to try to fix things or if I’d rather just continue as we are. This creates a constant push and pull in our relationship. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any advice on how to break this cycle and just be present in the moment? I'd love to hear from anyone who's been through something like this.

There are times my harm ocd has me convinced that my feelings of self harm or suicide and harm are real and that any moment I could commit the act on myself or my family. Is there anyone who can chime in on this. I feel like all the time I want to leave run away or avoid my family because of these thoughts. Like I shouldn’t be around my children and I don’t trust myself.
