I actually didn’t know what derealization was until I saw your post so I decided to look it up. After learning about it, I definitely realized I had episodes of it. It really feels so weird and anxiety inducing when you feel like you are a spectator. I remember having some anxiety when it first really set in that I had a physical body I could move around, and that I was an “actual” person that had the will to do things. While it’s never been an obsession of mine, I’m sorry you are going through this. Am obsession like this one definitely sounds like it would be distressing when you constantly feel detached from yourself, I don’t know exactly what you are going through, but I’m proud of you for coming this far and still going!

@SunnyHermit It happened one time last year around April and I didn’t know what it was but I didn’t recognise myself and I went into full panic mode and it lasted for like a couple of days and then went away and I felt fine but it’s back again and it’s stuck, i only really have realised it when I’m going out places for some reason it’s not as distressing as I am aware of what it is but it’s still scary! And thank you so much, I am really trying this whole thing has been so bloody tiring and scary I just wanna be happy and myself again 💜

I know you will! It’s not easy, but you didn’t go through all that suffering just to let it win! It’s gonna trip and fall on its face soon and you make sure to kick it while it’s down!

Harm ocd Advice
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with intrusive thoughts&images. At first i had intrusive thoughts around my partner, now it’s centred around me & I can’t be around window ledges or medication due to a story I read online(it’s too triggering for me) . Sometimes I feel like I can’t leave my bed due to the thoughts being so overwhelming I just break down and want to sleep. I aren’t taking any medication or therapy yet. I worry that if I don’t give my thoughts a reaction that my thoughts are true and not OCD. I’ve had these thoughts 24/7 for 2 months.

Can someone please help me?
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
