Does anyone else get a random wave of anxiety and an awkward feeling that you are not yourself??? i don’t know how to explain it but it feels like i’m gonna act on my intrusive thoughts because i barely feel like myself, i even feel out of my body and horrible body sensations
Me right now. I’ve literally can’t even recongize the voice in my head like my conscience right now. Like I’ll have moments that I’m like.. what is life what is Jenna? (My name) who am I? Idk where it comes from but I have a fear of schizophrenia and fear of psychosis. So I feel like that has manifested in my ocd giving me false feelings of losing my mind. You’re not losing your mind. If you are in a heightened anxiety it’s possible your mind just turned off to protect itself, it’s called Depersonalization I think. I don’t understand it quite myself but it can make you feel like you’re not in your body. The best thing to do is ignore it.
@secretlyobsessed2012 Thank you for answering me, it’s just that i feel like i’m actually going crazy, i have harm ocd but i also have this intense fear of dissociative identity disorder and every time i feel like this i start to analice myself and saying my name in my mind because i’m scared of how real it feels that i’m not myself, and when that happens it feels like i’m going to give up on my intrusive thoughts or that i really am an horrible person
@secretlyobsessed2012 thanks. I feel less alone in this, i hope you get this thru, you’re not alone
@malolin_21 - Your'e not alone. If you want I've talked to a couple people on here and having them by your side helps. My insta is Jenna.evans17, or Jenna.evans17 on snap (I'm not sure how old you are lol)
Yes I’m having this rn . I feel like the rapid weather change in my area has been affecting my levels of ocd anxiety I feel way more stimulated than ever .
@Brian :) I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, i barely feel human right know and i get what you’re saying, if you want to talk sometime i’m here
@malolin_21 It feels scary:( i started having just pure like anxiety outta the blue from my intrusive thoguhts or just simple memories whether it being good or bad , just in general but I had a feeling of sadness with it , anytime I think of it it’s like I feel like I’m not me anymore or that I don’t feel as stable as I did before .. it’s hard to explain it, but I know it has to do with my ocd . I keep looking back on memories or anytime I simply just think I feel sad:( it’s been 2 days now of me feeling like this. I just wish I could go back.
@malolin_21 It feels like a unpleasant dream that you wanna wake up out of . I just wish everything was back to normal. Even when I had my occasional ocd episodes they weren’t this bad . Still intrusive and all but I felt more in control vs now. I know it’s all in our minds and it’s hard to just accept it.
@Brian :) I been wanting to cry so badly but at the same time it feels like I can’t. I’m utterly exhausted . I started to begin feeling hopeless and still kind of do but I know I can’t let anyone else notice my struggles or the pain I’m going through because I don’t want anyone worrying especially family. Aside that, the small amount of friends I have & talk to just generally don’t understand ocd. That’s why I often would come here to talk to everyone but I hadn’t done so in a while because like I said I felt better or had better days even with ocd. All just depends on my mood . But now more than ever I feel weak and nothing but vulnerability:( I’m so sad but also can’t cry . I have mixed emotions
@malolin_21 Feels like I’m never gonna be me again or gain my strength back
@Brian :) I know what you mean, i’m so sorry you feel this way, i really understand what you’re going thru. I’ve been feeling sad and sick of everything, i know i feel sad but i also get this random wave of fear and anxiety about something bad it’s about to happen, idk i feel really tired too, but you are not alone, i have my mom and some friends but i can’t talk to them a lot about this, so if you want we can chat :) you’ll get better, i promise
Dealing with this right now
I have panic disorder, and OCD and anxiety. Does anyone else ever feel just off the edge all the time? Like I always feel like something’s off or something’s gonna happen. I don’t know how to explain the feeling. But I always feel off and when I feel off I panic

Does anyone else experience this? Every once in a while, I get this overwhelming feeling that is really hard to explain. It is like I *feel* evil, hateful, violent, and completely indifferent. It is such an ugly, uncomfortable feeling, but in that moment, I do not seem to care. I could be watching a video or doing something completely normal, and suddenly, I just feel dark and wrong. It does not exactly feel like a typical intrusive thought because it is not just a fleeting idea that pops into my head. It is more like a constant, vague presence in the background, almost like I have switched personalities or something. During these moments, I also get intrusive thoughts, but I do not immediately reject them the way I normally would. It is like I almost believe them, but there is this tiny part of me that still feels panic or a distant sense of wrongness about agreeing with them. It honestly scares me and makes me worry about what I might do. I do not know if I am explaining this well, but does anyone else experience something like this? I feel like I have never seen anyone talk about it.
