Does anyone constantly feel like they have to think about who they are and even who they used to be or it seems like you’re going to lose yourself. I’m also dealing with depersonalization so I feel like I’m going to just slip away
Yep that’s what I mostly struggle with. I realized that OCD is fueled by either fear of loss (feeling the need to meet people’s expectations to fit in) or an over-exaggerated sense of importantance. I noticed that OCD temporarily goes away anytime I’m thinking more about other people like if my mom’s doing ok.
Just try to relax and you’ll naturally recover to your true self. The anxiety goes back to its native nothingness.
One quote that helps me is that usually when you feel buried in life you’ve really just been planted. It’s ok if your past self is gone you know? People reinvent themselves everyday.
@Walkerx1 You don’t know how much I appreciate everything you said! Thank you ❤️
@Anonymous Keep going you’re doing great. You should be proud of yourself for having the courage to get help.
“Unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Usually therapy is a process of bringing your inner child home if that makes sense.
@Walkerx1 I love this! ❤️ & Thank you it means a lot! Same for you ❤️
I could cry reading this. I always feel like I must remember the feeling or I will slip away constantly. Nothing in my life feels the same and I’m miserable and it’s like my past and future are pulling on me. I am so scared 24:7
Sorry guys another post here but those who experience or have experienced depersonalisation, does it not make you feel like you are literally loosing yourself? I honestly considered admitting myself as it’s such a weird feeling that I’m not me and that I don’t belong anywhere, literally nothing feels normal but..I know I’ve over come it before. I will not let this thing ruin me or my life
Does anyone else have depersonalization? I don’t feel as dreamlike lately but I just don’t feel like me anymore. I question everything, am I real, I look at a pic and think is that really me, will I ever feel like me again? Does anyone else have this?
Does anyone feel like they’re losing themselves? I just experienced something really strange and I’m scared I’m actually developing schizophrenia
