Thank you all. For me, I often experience intrusive thoughts and so the feeling like numbness latches to parts of my identity, so I end up worrying that I'm losing myself or my mind. Right now it's my gender identity

It sucks because I don't want to change but I have a theory that dealing with dissociation is the same as the thoughts and so just letting them happen and not really intensely focusing on it will help. Sometimes I just feel so over whelmed and tired

@leahfaith I think this is what I go through. So I suppose the best thing is to let it go? Act as usual?

@leahfaith Thanks. I guess my problem is ruminations and it sucks but I will work on it. I have been noticing that when I stop focusing so hard on how I feel I feel better. I try to feel normal and check how I feel a lot. When I don't feel normal it gets worse. It's hard to explain in full especially in my current state but it will be ok

You can’t lose yourself from disassociation. When it happens, tell yourself, “I’m disassociating, I know what this feels like, and it is going to go away.” The worst thing you can do is freak out. The first few times it happened to me I got really freaked out but it just made it worse. Now when it comes on I know what to expect and I just let myself be in the moment (notice your surroundings, hear the sounds around you

Once it came on and I started to freak out and my bf said “what are you feeling right now” I said “it feels like I’m in a dream or like I’m on drugs!!” He said “wow that seems pretty cool I wish I had that” sometimes you have to look at it in a different light to not freak out

Yeah I still have this a lot, but if you have so much aneixty it will cause it. It is hard but you have too calm yourself and know that you will be alright. I still deal with it at times, mostly at night for some reason but you will get better.

I don't know what's happening...
I feel like the thoughts are telling me, "You want this, you want to be attracted to kids" when I know that's not the case. I've been stuck ruminating for the past couple of days and I'm so worried about this disorder convincing me that I'm something I've never been. I try not to fight it, but when I don't it feels like I'm giving into it like it's true. The meds I'm on keep me from being super depressed, but it's still there. I feel like I'm going to act on my thoughts one day and it worries me. I don't feel like myself anymore and I don't know if this is progress or a relapse. Even when having intercourse with my partner, I had to thought block because the thoughts were images while in the middle of it. Then afterwards, they came flooding in saying that I was doing it as a distraction. I don't know what else to do. I try to pinpoint all of my triggers, but sometimes I don't think I even have any. I feel like a monster. I'm honestly scared.

How do you get through your episodes?
Hi everyone I’m new here and well today was a very hard day for me… so a couple months ago out of no where my brain just went poof literally to not get so much into detail I experienced a lot of things but during that whole process I developed intrusive thoughts of hurting my self or others its been going on since December I knew someThing was off so I went for professional help Ive been working very hard in recovering now those intrusive thoughts aren’t the problem as much because I figured out what was the trigger (I think) but now it’s more obsessing over religion and spirituality and what’s real and what’s not and it makes me panic and creates panic attacks and just kind of makes my episodes a lot worst… so I would like to know if anyone has experienced this? How do get through it? How do you talk yourself out of it?

Does it really get better?
I’ve been dealing with ocd my whole life, and just got diagnosed about a year ago. I feel my days becoming occupied with thoughts, urges, fears and worry that completely debilitate me. It’s getting to the point where i feel like it’s taking over my life. I don’t see this getting any better, even with the therapy and medication I’m on. I’m scared my life will be like this forever, I’m tired. My brain is tired of ruminating every second of every day from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. I’m not sure how much longer I can go on like this.
