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?

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.

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 💔

existential crisis
Really bad theme right now is death, I keep thinking about how one day or at any moment my heart will stop my brain will stop & my memories & everything I know will all fade away. It is giving me so much anxiety I’m only 18, but I realize it all happens to us it is bound, we are born to die. I know it’s a silly thing to be scared because it’s not helping the quality of my life worrying about it and even when I do die, I won’t care , if you don’t have a working brain then how can you care 🤷♀️. It is tainting my everyday life currently & honestly making me terribly depressed & it is giving me derealization & making me feel nihilistic, I’ll remind myself it’s okay but then with my ocd i don’t stop thinking and thinking about it and it’s seriously so hard to stay present in the moment because this thought just feels like I can’t scrub it away it’s miserable I struggle with religion, but I do pray to anything that’s out there possibly listening, because it is comforting, it just feels like this whole experience Is pointless & I am afraid of the unknown and what is to possibly happen but I’m subjected to it anyways so why should it matter

fear of death and ocd
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.

OCD telling me I will go crazy
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?
