I feel so detached from myself and the world around me sometimes. Like I’m questioning everything, it’s pretty scary. Anyone deal/dealt with this?
Yeah it can be really hard sometimes. I’ve learned to agree with the thoughts and just carry on and appreciate life
I have felt this way as well. Almost like you’re watching everything from a movie? It’s derealization, which can be a symptom of CPTSD.
@Tiffany I’ve left like this before about two years ago, it wasn’t fun but it eventually went away. How’d u deal with it?
Yeah, I get this when my OCD flares up. Your mind is playing tricks on you. It sucks and feels horrible, but if you do your best to let it be there it’ll pass on it’s own in time.
I’ve never been diagnosed with OCD, but I relate so much to what people here are going through. I used to think it was just anxiety, and I felt like I could handle that. But lately I’ve been spiraling—constantly afraid that what I’m feeling is something worse, like psychosis or losing control of my mind. I feel so detached and scared, and I just want peace again. I have anxiety doing the smallest things, like the thought of waking up everyday and even eating give me straight up panic. I am afraid all the time, it’s paralyzing. And a lot of people say someone with psychosis wouldn’t worry that they’re in it, but then I convince myself I’ve been in it this whole time, and haven’t known, and that maybe I’ve been doing weird stuff. Idk. I also get really scared of labels. Even the idea of OCD makes me feel like I’ll never get better or like I’ll be stuck like this forever. I just want to be okay. If anyone has felt this way—confused, overwhelmed, or scared of what’s happening in their mind—I’d really appreciate any support or encouragement.
anybody else deal with this?😔
Im easily scared so please be gentle. My ocd lately has been stuck on “how are we even here?” “What if this is fake” “how are we in a globe”. Super weird questions that I can’t answer or get my thoughts off of it. Anyone else out there with the same? I haven’t found a lot of people with existential ocd.
