I always thought I’d never feel normal again too, but I promise that it’s possible. Grounding tequniqies are super important, and honestly just finding other things to focus on and stay busy to get out of your head. I know it’s easier said than don’t but it’s definitely possible :) meds have also helped a ton. As someone else said, meditation helps and so does yoga- there are great YouTube channels to follow along

my advice to you is to keep yourself busy. i remember when i had it bad i had no clue what to do and i sat around and just cried, which you shouldn’t do that. go out, hangout with friends/family, go and do things keep yourself busy. when you keep yourself busy you can notice a change and you also feel better. look up grounding tips and ground yourself! you will feel normal again :)

I’m going on a year of DP/DR and it’s gotten more intense. OCD makes it worse and vice versa - feels like a never ending loop that I’m stuck in, which is overwhelming. But I’ve started EMDR and hopeful it will help with time. My therapist explained that DP/DR sometimes acts as an airbag protecting us from stress, fear / panic or depression, but other times when it’s not functioning as a buffer, it triggers the OCD. Do you have a therapist?

False memory and real event
I’m in an absolutely crippling episode dealing with real event/ false memory. I literally cannot get out of it and it is beyond hell. Can someone please help me with advice? If you have been through this how did you get through?! I’m out of work, the only relief is when I’m sleeping no exaggeration. My husband is being super supportive and Is also taking time off to be with me. Was there a specific medication or any tricks that helped? I’m beyond desperate. Thank you

I can't do this anymore
I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
