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’ve been struggling with this as well the past 3 days and right now currently typing this . Literally just googled symptoms I know I shouldn’t have ! Meditation helps me relax alittle . It will pass though. Hope you feel better soon 🖤

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?

Idk what to do anymore. I had an attack from 🍃 in 2021. I couldn’t feel anything and it all felt odd. It’s been 4 years! 4 years!!!! And I still have attacks. But in the past 2 years it hasn’t been anything visual really. I can see everyone, I just can’t feel connected to me still nor my surroundings. My head keeps repeating. “You’re not real, nothings real”. Even tho ik I can see my mom and dad and nothings distorted. I don’t get it! I’m 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 I’m like I’m useless. Nothing feels right. Can anybody help me, or has anyone experienced this!
