Does anyone feel unable to explain the multitude of feelings associated with suffering with OCD? Like an inability to feel and focus and clearly explain things? I can’t tell if I’m super depressed, or if it’s a theme. I feel sad and way out of it. I don’t know if it’s just DP/DR, brain fog, ADHD, or does OCD challenge your ability to focus and complete tasks too? I don’t know, I just feel like I’m in a bad dream most of the time. I’m trying to tell myself that maybe this is all stress related to OCD, or maybe it is some bigger problem. I know I should probably stop trying to figure it out, but I feel stuck. Anyone else?

I'm really touched by your comment because people do not understand what we go through. A lot of times I don't even think doctors do. I'm not a big fan of doctors. Lawyers or cops either. But everyday not only do I have to put up with my intrusive thoughts but I have to put up with Society. And like I said trying to find good treatment these days is getting more difficult and more difficult with doctors afraid to prescribe medicine and even what's best for you. That's why we have so many challenges and I'm not sure if there is a direct message box option but if you ever need to talk about anything feel free message me if you can. I think they should offer that on this website.

I can definitely relate. You’re not alone in this.

Yes, i go through days like that too sometimes. Sometimes i feel like i cant wait till its bedtime so i can fall asleep abd wake up again to see if I feel better.

yes, i feel you on a deep level. we have a very similar experience. most likely, it’s the OCD, but it could be something else. accepting the uncertainty, albeit extremely hard, is the only way to overcome this.

It could be the medications we are on...
