I think I felt it but idk if I did cus idk what it feels like. It felt like nothing in my house was mine. Looking at pics of me and her it looked like I was looking at someone else. It’s like I’m forgetting my self and things that are related to me. Am I manking it up or not. Can someone help please. OCD is rlly draining.
Unfortunately I believe what you’re doing is a checking compulsion. You’re looking at objects in your home to see how they feel. Looking at pics to see if you recognize things. And the more you do that, the less certain you become. The more you will need to check. And the less reassuring the answers will feel. You’re not making anything up. Ocd gives us real symptoms of our fears. And compulsions fuel it. Do your best to start resisting these compulsions. If you notice feeling far away or not connected, acknowledge the feeling but don’t explore it. Don’t check it against other things. Just let the feeling be there and move on with your day. The more you can normalize these intrusions (which is what they are), and shrug them off best you can without seeking reassurance or certainty, the more your ocd will let up.
Hey these sensations are because of the constant anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and stress. It doesn’t mean you’re losing your mind, and it doesn’t mean you’re making it up, I've felt detached from the world and things around me felt unreal, distant and off. But after while when I started to meditate it went away for me, there's a song called telescope by cage the elephant, everytime I have an ocd attack the song comforts me because everything in the song feels like talking about ocd
I have had ocd in my relationship for a while now. When I originally met him it was like this insane spiritual soulmate feeling and we just clicked instantly and he never judged me. I’m scared cause when I picture breaking up with my boyfriend I see myself being ok and being sad but moving on which I never was able to see before doesn’t this mean that this is what would happen or I don’t know till it happens? I still can’t imagine what life would be like without him but I just feel like I have lost feelings that I never wanted to lose. plus that’s also when I just picture knowing how people move on and how I’d just have to move on without letting myself picture processing the losses of all. I’m just really scared cause I used to think of wanting other things in someone else and what it would be like but I just thought how nice it would be to have it and not actually meaning it bc every time I thought about it I got upset and now it feels diff. He knows I have ocd but I never explained the ROCD because I thought it would have offended him so every time I went through a flare up I never told and acted like I was fine and it kept happening and OCD kept getting worse and worse. Maybe that’s part of the issue cause I haven’t been feeling like myself. But this is a feeling I never wanted to feel ever with him. I have gone through the feeling of numb but not like this. And he has a lot of positives but I can only see him overall as negatives and I’ve been told that’s ocd but it’s affecting how I feel. And yes there are legit actual things in the relationship that upset me but ocd has been affecting the way I look at him also. I keep being told my judgment is being impaired but this time it rly feels like not. And I’m Scared why don’t memories and things affect me like it used to doesn’t that mean I want this. Has anyone experienced this or is this the end 😭
Idk what to do anymore. I had an attack from 🍃 in 2021. I couldn’t feel anything and it all felt odd. It’s been 4 years! 4 years!!!! And I still have attacks. But in the past 2 years it hasn’t been anything visual really. I can see everyone, I just can’t feel connected to me still nor my surroundings. My head keeps repeating. “You’re not real, nothings real”. Even tho ik I can see my mom and dad and nothings distorted. I don’t get it! I’m scared. Is this the start of psychosis? I was diagnosed with ocd when I was 13 and it got really bad after smoking once. I feel alone. I know where I am. But I feel out of place, and for some reason I keep thinking nothings real in my head over and over again. I feel so alone. I want to be a nurse but I’m like I’m useless. Nothing feels right. Can anybody help me, or has anyone experienced this!
Lately I’ve been having some thoughts like “i don’t feel real” and I feel disconnected and not been feeling like myself, I don’t know if this is just ocd because I do get thoughts about life and they don’t really cause much panic.. or could this be something else
