Weird ?

Has anyone ever just felt weird? It’s hard to explain but I just feel weird lately. I usually suffer with harm OCD and I feel like lately I’m not reacting to things I normally would. There’s certain things that will trigger me a little but then other times (like over the last few days) it’s like I feel nothing. I’ll get thoughts and because I don’t feel the physical sensation in my chest or get very emotional like I normally would it’s weird to me. Does this mean I’m liking the thoughts now? Or like I’m comfortable with those actions happening? I’m so confused. Has anyone ever gone through this?

Ah, i love seeing this. This is actually a sign that you are overcoming your OCD. Think about it, your intrusive thoughts are no longer creating an anxiety response. that's a WIN! but OCD loves to morph to try to keep you hooked, so it has now shifted into making you DOUBT your own success. Non-response does not mean you like or dislike- it just means its not important. Do your best to ride it out and not pay it any mind. you are doing well!

@Anonymous 25# That’s ok. Remember, feelings are not facts and they shouldn’t be trusted to hold much weight, especially when you’re working thru a condition that’s power lies in manipulation of feelings.

It means that OCD is not as strong anymore. Your growing numb to its pestering and starting to have some form of normalcy. Try doing something to keep your mind busy, where you’re forced to do anything but let your mind wander.

Mayhaps you’ve just become desensitized to the thoughts. Part of coping with intrusive thoughts means you let them linger and don’t try to challenge or solve them. So becoming desensitized and separating yourself from those feelings and thoughts seems like a step in the right direction. A nice tip I’ve learned is: OCD and anxiety tell fake stories. Fake stories create real emotions. Real emotions can feel body sensations. When we have real emotions and real body sensations, it causes us to believe these fake stories. Don’t let the intrusive thoughts flip on you during this time. You’re doing great ^^

Yeah I kinda feel this with my ROCD and soocd. I still don’t feel confident in myself tho. I still don’t feel right or like who I used to be. I’m worried the thoughts are becoming me even tho I know they’re not. Sometimes one gets a really deep hold on me but most are just background noise now. I still don’t feel normal. I don’t feel love right now and sex is difficult. It’s weird and it makes me so worried that it meant a the thoughts are true and I don’t love my bf and that I’m a lesbian

I feel so weird these days. Like I feel blank empty person with no emotions. I mean i still do get anxiety here and there but like no emotions or guilt. I see scary movies and feel no reaction, I imagine hurting other and don’t feel any guilt more like the idgaf typa feeling, before I would be in mental torture crying and depressed about being scared I was a serial killer. I would break down but no I feel urges still by no anxiety or anything. I feel mental and crazy. I would be so excited to wear makeup and excited about impressing guys and dating, but now they don’t seem real to me. Before I would care about OCD and now I’m more like idgaf anymore or what I do. What is going on ?! Am I the only one experiencing this.?

Is this normal ?

Okay so I have deal with harm ocd for like month now, but for like 3 weeks when I first started I was scared and depressed because of my thoughts, and there were thoughts about hurting my family to the point were there not alive anymore and I would cry and pray constantly because I was scared I will act on my thoughts, but now that a month has passed, I still get those thoughts but this time I’m not scared anymore. Like yeah I just get little scared that I will act of these thoughts, but not as bad. I feel like I don’t have any more empathy, or like emotions. Like I feel like I’m becoming an evil person because I don’t feel scared about the thoughts anymore. And it kind of worry me because if I don’t feel anything will I most likely act of my thoughts ????????? I need help. What do I do ? Is this normal?
