Do you ever feel like you’re dying?
I have existential ocd and dpdr and my mind keeps telling me I’m dying or will die. Is dpdr even manageable?

It’s anxiety dpdr my doctor told me is ur body’s way of protecting u from anxiety, everything feels unreal , my family felt like strangers
Hey, I’m struggling with this too at the minute. It’s all I can think about all day, every day. I keep worrying there’s something wrong with me and I’m just blaming ocd/dpdr. It’s really hard to speak to people about too as they don’t understand. But we’ve got this and it will pass eventually ❤️ at the moment I’m trying to focus on small wins and it seems to be helping. Sending you lots of support!
Try not to fight it, dpdr can feel really scary but no one has ever died from it. Ride it out.
Yes I struggle with this. Sending support to you ♥️
im going through almost this exact thing rn idek what i think im going to die from my mind is just telling me its gonna happen and that its gonna be some kind of illness. its been over 2 weeks and its been in the back of my mind everyday and always makes its way to the front where i really get stuck on it but I’m fighting it and just letting it sit and hoping it goes away until i can see some kind of doctor. I’ve been sleeping in my parents room cause i’m scared to sleep and spending like 99% of my day with them cause i cant be alone for too long and it suckss and i feel like every little thing i feel like any minor pain or discomfort is something thats a sign of an illness or a sign that im dying. it sucks 💔
I needed this. Thank you all for being here virtually🩵
so i have ocd but this is the main theme ive been dealing with for the last few months, im obsessed with my mortality and i feel trapped by the reality of death. i dont really believe in an afterlife which makes it scarier, not that i dont wanna my brain literally just wont let me. but i have daily panic attacks thinking about death all day, its honestly the toughest thing ive ever dealt with. does anybody have any tips on how they manage this if they have ever dealt with it? not looking for reassurance, just some non compulsive ways to kind of lessen the grip of the fear.
Hello everyone. I often get the feeling that I will go crazy or in a state of permanent suffering. The thought is very persistent and I think is OCD repeating that disturbing thought. If anyone feels the same way. What do you do about it?
For the past weeks, I’ve been having these thoughts like something is going to happen to me. Impending doom. For example, i’m in class and then i’m getting these bad thoughts that i’m going to die soon. Or that im having these thoughts like, “am i real?” “is this the last time im ever going to do this?” I think this might be existential OCD, but I need to know if it really is. Has anyone gone through this and how have you coped with it?
