anxiety curves in ocd are actually pretty weird. ive learned a thing or two about them from experience that i think can explain a bit when we develop a theme of ocd we actually get mad amounts of anxiety and we start thinking alot more about every single thing, so our idle brain actually is in fight or flight mode even tho we really doesnt have a reason. it takes a bit of time for brain to get back to normal.. are you on any ssri meds by any chance?

Yes! OCD often makes the sufferer feel like they are alone, isolated, and that no one else can possibly understand this experience. Please know that those are lies that OCD tells. You can choose to not believe them. Sometimes people report feeling like things are not real and that they are in a daze- the stress from OCD can be overwhelming at times. Please know that you are not alone in this. The NOCD community is here for you. Working alongside a specialist who is trained in OCD and ERP can help you to develop an individualized plan to address your specific fears and compulsions, call NOCD today for a free 15-minute call to get started.

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?

I just feel petrified and I don’t understand why. There aren’t even any thoughts right now. I just feel so scared.

I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.
