Mirrors?
Does anyone look at the mirror and not recognize themselves? This could be derealization or disassociation not sure?

Yessssssss
Yup, since OCD got really bad, sometimes I feel like I’m looking at someone I don’t know anymore, but there are times where that’s not the case, usually after spending more time with others who remind me who I am
I haven’t had this yet. But I have a similar issue: If I try to read a certain word or phrase (one that i want to read for reassurance) it’s like the phrase suddenly isn’t there. Like it’s censored, and there may be a different word there that confirms something I fear. It’s all under the umbrella of derealization from what I understand.
Yes.
Yes ugh 💔
I saw a shadowy figure in my peripheral vision & I AM SO SCARED. I am freaked out of developing schizophrenia- but my question is if I was - would I know the shadow I saw wasn’t real? If I was developing schizophrenia would I be freaked out of the shadow I saw or would I just believe it’s real?
i came out of it now i’m back in , what helps?
I can't even look at myself in the mirror. I've spent the morning crying, and I feel like I don't deserve to. I feel like I'm a horrible person or a... you know. I'm so sick of this. I'm just so tired of everything. I don't see my psychiatrist until two weeks from now. How am I going to make it till then? :( Even writing this post, I feel like I'm deceiving everyone and that I'm actually a monster. I'm so convinced of this right now. I don't know what to do. I was literally okay a few days ago. I don't even know what's real and what's not, like... I think I do? But everything is so distorted. I can't stop replaying memories trying to figure things out. I really need my psychiatrist right now. I feel like I need to confess, like I've been trying so hard not to, but every person I see, I just keep thinking about how badly I want to ask them if I'm a bad person or not, and that makes me feel worse. A good person wouldn't feel the need to ask that over and over again, would they? What if I'm just seeking validation because I can't accept that?
