Hey guys I’m really scared of loosing touch with the reality.. I’m scared that everything around me is not real or objects that’s something else than what it really is.. can anyone relate?
Yeah I feel like that all the time. The matrix really messed me up
I understand this completely, as I experience a form of psychosis fairly regularly. Sometimes I will question if I have an unusual encounter with a stranger if that person was real or not or even if I’m hearing things that are real or not. OCD will feel so real sometimes. I think a solution is to accept that we don’t need to know what’s real. Take pressure off ourselves about finding the answer in the uncertainty.
Oh yeah. My biggest fear/ocd theme in life is developing schizophrenia/psychosis and on top of that having ocd/anxiety can cause you to feel “out of it” which just triggers the fear and they feed off each other. It’s very tricky to deal with but I hope we get there.
hey so this sounds a lot like dissociation/ dpdr/ existential ocd. its just a fear that stems from extreme anxiety. feeling dissociated is just your brain’s way of protecting itself. it becomes so overwhelmed and anxious that it feels like it needs to dissociate in order to cope. you’re NOT going crazy and you won’t lose your sense of reality. they’re just thoughts and ofc they will feel real because of ocd. and if you think you’re going crazy or psychotic then you really aren’t because crazy people don’t think or know that they’re crazy. hope this helps <3
