Such a scared feeling right now I was doing a compulsion and then I don’t know what my thought was but all of a sudden I realized it wasn’t really a thought and I spaced out and then of course now my ocd is telling making like I’m not real or something and now I’m really disassociated and feel like I need to get up and go do my compulsion one more time or my entire day will be off tomorrow.
Say for your OCD: "give me more strong urges make my compulsion". literally ask about it. Ask make distressed as possible. See what happens.
YOU ARE REAL
Trust me, you have to be real! I can see you! The whole world is viewed from my pov
You are real, I had the same issue as you. It was like if I was real, I don't know if the others are, but over time I learned that we are for sure in reality
It is taking everything in me to not get up right now and do my compulsion. It’s like my last compulsion was a blur and now I have to make sure that whatever I was doing was actually real. Doesn’t make sense but now I feel like everything’s not real and it feels so scary. I don’t even know how my mind got here, but my mind is already setting me up for my next thought if I get up. So I feel stuck.
I was in the same situation, I always felt I needed dto see if I was real. But think about it, if you weren't, how are you subject to gravity? Why aren't you able to do what you want? How come you can feel? How come your parents can see you?
If everything wasn't real, how do we have the laws of physics?
The presence of such things surely proves you are real and I know that I am, I can feel it
I can see it
And who cares if this all was not real?
This is kind of existential OCD! I have this problem, too. The truth is there is no way to know. Which is infuriating, but even if none of this (or you) were real, it would be okay. You’d still just have to put one foot in front of the other.
This reminds years ago when I was much younger I think this was the beginning for me I remember someone passed away and then I started ruminating about death and dying and how long I have and counting years and time and it was bad I was freaking out I was even journaling on this it really made my LIFE horrible for quite some time But now my OCD is different strange how it changes it's now years later and in between then I was okay I got through a lot in my life along with PTSD and many other things but now it feels like 13 years of this EVIL it's what I call it and it took over my LIFE and it's hurt and damaged relationships so much it's taken from me the time that gone that I'll never get back I'm looking for the answers and what I believe is we have to try to LET GO and give up not give up on ourselves but give up on the OCD surrender and tell it to go to HELL say no more and I'm real, I'm here, I'm free and I'm okay 🌈
I just had the weirdest coincidence involving ocd. I don't want to get much into it but I didn't do one of my rituals and the EXACT thing I feared happened. It feels crazy but I don't know what to do, Literally can't get it out of my mind. I literally don't know if I'll ever be the same again. I'm terrified and convinced it can't be a coincidence.
Anyone else feel like your mind is so trained to react and be scared of thoughts that a thought doesn’t even have to fully form for you to be scared or already know you need to do a compulsion? And then your brain makes something up. Idk how to explain it but I feel like sometimes I’m going insane and it’s freaking me out because my thoughts aren’t full thoughts and they are often so hard to even explain that I’m afraid no one will understand them
I do not even know how to explain what I am experiencing right now. It feels like I am not even myself and it feels like the thoughts are stronger than ever before and that they are more compelling? But I also do not feel like I’m inside my body so it’s making it extra scary. I’ve never experienced OCD like this before. I’ve been doing a lot better overall but now with this, I’m feeling doomed to just be what my thoughts say. It feels like I’ve lost my mind if I am being honest and every thing is triggering me. It does not feel like OCD this time. Any advice?
