Hi Imaan7, OCD is wild; just as soon as you’ve calmed down from the anxiety rollercoaster, dp/dr sometimes hits. I know it did for me, and then I started obsessing over that! My therapist suggested I do some ERP around dp/dr, and that helped. I also remember that feelings (like dr/dp) are just emotions; sometimes they mean something, and sometimes they don’t. I’m sure the lack of emotions is stressing you out a little bit too, but remember our bodies/brains take time to adjust to things. Give yourself time and consult with your doctor + therapist about how you feel. Nothing lasts forever, even difficult times. You can do this!

OCD/ not real feeling
Idk what to do anymore. I had an attack from 🍃 in 2021. I couldn’t feel anything and it all felt odd. It’s been 4 years! 4 years!!!! And I still have attacks. But in the past 2 years it hasn’t been anything visual really. I can see everyone, I just can’t feel connected to me still nor my surroundings. My head keeps repeating. “You’re not real, nothings real”. Even tho ik I can see my mom and dad and nothings distorted. I don’t get it! I’m scared. Is this the start of psychosis? I was diagnosed with ocd when I was 13 and it got really bad after smoking once. I feel alone. I know where I am. But I feel out of place, and for some reason I keep thinking nothings real in my head over and over again. I feel so alone. I want to be a nurse but I’m like I’m useless. Nothing feels right. Can anybody help me, or has anyone experienced this!
