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!

I'm stuck please helpp
I spiraled about something a few days ago and since then I feel like I'm in a completely different mood. I used to be very happy about who I was but right now I feel like the complete opposite. I feel embarrased about everythingggg I do. And then Instarted obsessing over certainty and now I feel like I can't be certain about anything. I feel like I lost my whole personality is gone and my OCD is off the charts. BUT surprisingly I feel much less anxious than before. I don't know what to do. I'm starting to consider taking medication. I'm scared.
