I've had it for over a year... I can't remember what normal feels like or how I used to see and feel. Especially a video I saw made me feel weird which made me feel more disconnected. I hope it does go away!

You have to get to the root fear. Not 100% sure but I feel like you are struggling with understanding your identity. Just like all OCD people this is normal for all of us. Most of us have been trained up with pain, humiliation, shame, guilt and rejection surrounding us. Am I correct? My advice would be, become more grounded in love. Treat yourself with mercy and compassion and love and don’t put yourself down. Depersonalization happens to all of us and it’s just a feeling not reality. Deep down inside, I know you know that this is real life and not fake, the root is what we have to work through and realize. Stay strong!!! Love you <3 ❤️

Yes you are correct for the part that said "am I correct?" Correct... And wait so its a feeling not actually like real... Oh okay I see what you mean. Thank you so much! :') I now wonder if existential thoughts make it worst like I think of how we're all in a planet, and we're alive basically questioning the uncertainty okay I see my problem 😅 but Thank you so much!!

I have this same thing. I hate it. But I also realized that ocd had attached to the derealization... so all that questioning... does this feel normal? Is it worse? Etc... that is ocd. Do ERP with those thoughts... maybe things are normal your ocd is just making you question it... maybe things don't feel normal... erp with this has helped. Stay present and keep on task with what ever you're doing. And just let those thoughts come and go and sit with the anxiety and uncertainty

I get this to like I’m detached from rest of the family and the world like I don’t know who I am anymore I fill in a daze and a fog and stuck in my head in my Owen scary world I look in the mirror and don’t know who looking back at me it so scary I thought I was someone called Clair not my reall self or name

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.
