How do I stop dissociating, need advice please

I’ve been dissociating because of OCD these past two days. It’s been very bad it’s almost like I just don’t feel like myself. Tonight’s it’s gotten really bad, I’m so scared of like losing control of myself or like blacking out and not having control over my actions. Does anyone know how to make me feel like myself again. My ocd has been so good, I’ve never been better I hadn’t been doing compulsions I was able to push away intrusive thoughts easily, however I got discharged from Camhs recently and now I’m realising I can’t go to them with this. Anyways I got home from holidays two days ago and since that really stressful day at the airport I’ve had nothing but rlly bad days full of dissociating, a lack of routine as I had no work and loneliness as my favourite people aren’t able to hang out. Tonight old obsessions I had when I was younger came back and I’m getting really scared and I just want to feel like myself again. I just feel loopy and anxious and not like myself at all. Anyone know how to stop this feeling?

Im not sure how your going to feel getting this comment, but i just hope it makes you feel safe. Im not going to sit here and pretend like i know how to help, of how to get out of it. Considering im going through the same thing and im desperately looking for answers how to just feel okay again. But i understand you. More than you think i probably do. Dissociating is so fucking scary. And honestly me too. I’ve basically had no intrusive thoughts, and it honestly kind of scares me. I hope you feel better, i really do. Ive had some crazy sensations of dissociation, like everything looking big, like everything even sometimes feeling either not real or too real. Its a troublesome thing, but i understand you and your not alone. Your a solider, remember that. 😊💖

i’ve been in and out of dissociative episodes for 12 years (each lasting weeks or months). it’s so scary, but doing grounding techniques consistently has helped me a lot. it’s not an end-all-be-all solution, but it’s certainly helpful

The way I dealt with this is to find out what was being repressed inside and confronting the hidden issue. I was repressing certain emotions when younger and I think this was the brains natural response after a while.

How do you guys deal with depersonalization as a result of existential OCD? I normally go through phases of OCD tendencies, and my last one was centered on ROCD - I guess the distress of that theme has caused me to dissociate whenever the intrusive thoughts get too much. It just hurts when I look at my boyfriend (or even other people around me new) and my brain tells me they’re not real, or I don’t know them at all. I’m not sure how to experience it without simply crying. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone ever got stuck in a ocd loop about dissociation? If so, how were you able to pull yourself out of it? I tend to over analyze everything around me all the time to see if I’m back to normal reality but I can’t quite grasp that expectation. It’s been a decent amount of time, maybe little less than a year. The intensity varies a lot but doesn’t quite go away a 100%. Hoping someone has dealt with this and can offer some guidance since it can be quite debilitating, especially when it comes to having responsibilities like school, work, and a girlfriend to care for.

OCD coming in differently?

I do not even know how to explain what I am experiencing right now. It feels like I am not even myself and it feels like the thoughts are stronger than ever before and that they are more compelling? But I also do not feel like I’m inside my body so it’s making it extra scary. I’ve never experienced OCD like this before. I’ve been doing a lot better overall but now with this, I’m feeling doomed to just be what my thoughts say. It feels like I’ve lost my mind if I am being honest and every thing is triggering me. It does not feel like OCD this time. Any advice?
