Derealization
I feel like I’ve been experiencing derealization way too often. It feels like I don’t even believe anything is real or like I’m dreaming.

It's been bad for me. It's been my most problematic aspect of having ocd, the derealization and depersonalization. I hate it, but I'm making sure to power through the therapy and work as much as possible, people are here to help and that makes me incredibly happy and calms me down. But there are days when I have bad episodes and that comes with panic attacks and a deep dread. It really is a scary and alarming feeling to have derealization or depersonalization, and I question my sanity as part of my compulsions. But the work helps a lot, and I've only recently been on medication which has helped as well. I hope you well and the best of care

Ocd
My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.

Mental compulsions/ rumination
So hard to not engage the thoughts because even though it's from the "past" (i don't even know if im remembering things correctly and it kills me) and i can't change it, I just NEED to prove it to myself that it didn't happen this way. If you'd asked me questions maybe a few months ago, I would have been able to lucidly explain things. Now I just feel like I'm in a constant swarm of thoughts, not knowing if anything is real. If my brain is to be trusted. Wish I could just get hypnosis to forget

I feel like I'm losing my mind I can't trust it
I keep seeing coupled numbers or angel numbers and having dejvu and in my mind when I get constant Deja Vu which in my mind means something bad is about ti happen I have had it 6 times today 3 in the last hour and I honestly feel like I'm going insane whether its Deja Vu of the numbers it causes me to question every action I make. If I see the numbers or get Deja Vu it dictates my day and I can't live this way anymore. Everyone I try and talk to doesn't understand and there is no way I can ever tell anyone about my violent intrusive thoughts the one time I did my mother called the police. Sorry for the run-on sentences and if it doesn't flow right I'm just really struggling right now and have been for a long time and I just want help I'm scared of my own mind. Thank you for whoever answers this post just one person would sadly make my day.
