you are concious of how you feel. that is the first indicator that you are normal and just experiencing an episode. your perspective is unique and tailored for you, you are doing everything correctly. even right in this moment you are where you need to be. these thoughts will pass and come to strengthen you.

i feel like that makes sense when the mind runs out of things to analyze and pick a part and bully you about it starts analyzing the mind itself so that way everything that made sense to you no longer does and everything is confusing and scary ive definitely been in some weird thought spirals where i dont feel like anything makes sense hang in there i hope you can find some relief and know that this community is here for you š

Hi Makki! Anything could be an OCD obsession; I unfortunately cannot provide reassurance to you :( (and actually there's no way I could verbally prove to you that you and I are thinking "normally" ^^) Yet, OCD can be isolating and make us doubt our experiences and actions - that's something you probably experience with other themes (?) Is there anything you found particularly triggering with this fear?

I definitely agree, I get triggered that I'll never feel normal or will lose it and go crazy

@Makki23 I've been struggling pretty often with the same kind of thoughts and there's unfortunately no other option than sitting with uncertainty >< You cannot know for sure how different someone else's experience can be and even if someone would make you take a test that could prove you that you are not a psychopath for example, your mind would probably start make you doubt the result or your answers, always and forever looking for more certainty ^-^ I hope it'll get less intense, don't be too harsh with yourself :) Take care ā”

I think even these thoughts are thinking like a ānormal person.ā Not to get weirdly philosophical, but this reminds me of descarteās āI think therefore I am.ā The fact that youāre thinking about if youāre thinking normally shows that youāre aware of normal and abnormal thinking, so youād notice if you were thinking weirdly, especially because youāre hyperaware of your thinking. Haha does that make any sense? It was kind of rambly. I also think if you were truly thinking abnormally, your friends/family/anyone would have said something or noticed

I think I get what you mean, it's normal ocd thinking?

@Makki23 I even know people without ocd that fall into that weird existentialist hole, so Iād go as far as to say normal normal

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. Iām 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 doesnāt this mean that this is what would happen or I donāt know till it happens? I still canāt imagine what life would be like without him but I just feel like I have lost feelings that I never wanted to lose. plus thatās also when I just picture knowing how people move on and how Iād just have to move on without letting myself picture processing the losses of all. Iām 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 thatās part of the issue cause I havenāt 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 Iāve been told thatās ocd but itās 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 Iām Scared why donāt memories and things affect me like it used to doesnāt that mean I want this. Has anyone experienced this or is this the end š

Soo i need to say this but i struggle with real event ocd but its not things i did but things i thought or things i felt for certain situations or to certain things i like im having trouble telling apart my feelings like i try to sort them like oh this is that feeling but i got the same feeling for two different situations one is good one is bad and i got the same feeling so im just scared why did i have that reaction i guess i just im sitting here analyzing what that feeling is and i genuinely dont know its not anything physical its more in my head and now im checking every moment in the past to see the thought process and what i felt in that moment and im just scared of what i feel

Idk what to do anymore. I had an attack from š in 2021. I couldnāt feel anything and it all felt odd. Itās been 4 years! 4 years!!!! And I still have attacks. But in the past 2 years it hasnāt been anything visual really. I can see everyone, I just canāt feel connected to me still nor my surroundings. My head keeps repeating. āYouāre not real, nothings realā. Even tho ik I can see my mom and dad and nothings distorted. I donāt get it! Iām 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 Iām like Iām useless. Nothing feels right. Can anybody help me, or has anyone experienced this!
