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
