Numb to feelings at times...

It's like sometimes (only sometimes bc im mostly obsessing), I dont care how I feel in that moment. Like Iam numb to anything. There is not happiness or sadness. Like I dont care what happens to me, dont care about my friends, family, life. When I know deep down thats not how I really feel. In reality, I love my life and family so much. I just cant feel it at the moment. My poor husband and kids. I have to keep telling myself that is my OCD and that Iam a good person that does actually care about everything... Its so sad

This has been happening to me as well! It happens when I have some bad OCD thoughts and they all attack me at once. I get passed the point of anxious sometimes and just become numb to everything. I searched it up and people said it could be because your brain is getting overworked. I'm sorry you're going through this:(

I think this has been happening to me some lately but I have been under a lot of stress. It’s like I have gotten so stressed that I shut down. I kinda throw my hands up and say screw it all because it’s so overwhelming. However, I very much love my family it’s just I hate how OCD can get in the way.

Can OCD make you feel content / happy / everything is fine? This feeling doesn’t seem real because deep down I am sad. I also have depersonalization / derealization so I know it’s shutting down some of my emotions, but part of this feels like it might be OCD.

Feelings

It’s so weird how OCD just comes about with no explanation, out of nowhere. My issue has been feelings. I have moments of hyper focusing on feelings, trying to figure them out, and it’s exhausting. Logically, I know that what I’m going through with the things happening in my life (relationship ending that was abusive, my father just getting diagnosed with dementia, etc) would make anyone feel the way I do. But I keep trying to fight my feelings. “Normally, old me” would embrace them and let them be. Ever since my OCD returned, I can’t help but fixate on them and stress even more. It’s almost like my emotions and the way we are as humans in my mind has become even more of a problem than the problems themselves. Can anyone relate? I am doing my best with ERP. I definitely helps. But I’m still waking up not feeling like myself and it hurts.

Can OCD make you think that you don't love people? my thoughts perssuade me that I don't have feelings. It's not true. sometimes everyone feels aphathy right? but because I have felt it too, now I think that I can't love amd feel in general and etc. Is it relatable to you?
