Hello! Lately I've been experiencing weird about myself. I think I switch to another theme but I am not really sure. Whenever I talked to someone. I started to observed how I talked and wonder how can I automatically reply and give a speech to the person who I am talking with without using my comprehension. Sometimes everytime I noticed that I tend to stop in the middle of my speech because I feel like my head is empty and wonder how can I talk like that without using my brain. Sometimes It feels like I am just watching my own self talking to people and wonder how can I possibly create those words that come out to my mouth without comprehending it first. I dont know if it is nonsense to others but it bothers me. It is what you call somatic ocd?. (sorry for my grammar I am not english speaker) I hope you can still understand. Please help me how to deal with this.

Thank you kyle for the help. Sad to say in my country there is no ERP therapy here. I also wonder if I am experiencing now is dissociation but whenever happen this to me I dont feel any anxiety is high. Whenever I observed that to myself I dont feel that I am floating above too. It is just like I am just observing myself talking most of the time. Do you know how to handle this? I feel annoyed everytime it happens to me.

after observing happened. I wonder how I create those word come out to my mouth without thinking about it. and the anxiety will follow and have what ifs in my mind. like for ex. what if I dont know how create a word in my mind anymore, or what if I dont know how to do conversation and dont know how to talk anymore. I dont know if this is somatic or what. I feel like this is so unique now.

@myr Thank you for being patient with my response. I’m sorry to hear that you don’t have an ERP specialist available to you - we are working our way on becoming international!

@myr And yes I do resonate with what you’re saying. I experience this often and it is hard to articulate. When you are talking to someone you are thinking about how you are even saying the words and thinking when your mind is focused on watching yourself talk... it’s very strange. You would have to see an ocd specialist to get a diagnosis - but it does sound like somatic ocd.
