I can't tell if my derealization got worst.. I feel different like things feel fake or is this how it feels to feel normal? Everything just looks and feels weird I'm scared I think Ima start having an anxiety attack.

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 feel pretty bad

I genuinely feel like this terror inside myself, like this is my last day till everything gets horrible… idk suddenly I have this anxiety this “fear of nothing” makes me feel like I’m not gonna make it, that I will never feel okay and that my life is over. I’m scared, I’m always scared

any advice, thank you.

so since mid december i’ve been feeling like this , well first in mid december I’ve started feeling anxiety like normal, normal as in physical things like feeling like im going to pass out, shaking, chest pain, etc. but then it got worse , then it turned into more of mind stuff like feeling not real , feeling weird like idk. my mind is always runningg like on over drive, like looking back at myself that doesn’t seem like me. like idk. i can’t stand to look at myself anymore bc it doesn’t feel like me. i can’t be alone , when i think about to it makes it sm worse. but how do i stop thinking ab it? or make it better. i’m scared it’s gonna get worse. like i can’t even do my makeup anymore bc i think something bad will happen. i can’t go certain places , like stay the night bc i think something bad is gonna happen.

Advice?

I’m trying so hard to feel normal again but i cant i keep feeling like im being dramatic and that my symptoms aren’t real and im tricking everyone, even on here i feel like im tricking you all into believing i have OCD when i don’t. Plus all these other types thoughts im having all meshing together its so overwhelming and i dont know what to do. My therapist appointment isnt until next week and idek what shes gonna tell me or if she’ll even think i have OCD. i keep thinking about my other posts on here and wondering if i even meant what i said in them. this is the worst ive ever felt i think i might even be going through depersonalization or derealization but im not even sure about that i dont even know anything about what im really going through cause ive never been given any kind of formal diagnosis its only ever been depression and social anxiety but ive always had a feeling it was more but i keep doubting myself. maybe if anyone wants to look at some of my other posts and tell me what u think in general? or would that be reassurance seeking? i feel like most of my posts might be but im not sure.. IM NOT SURE ABOUT ANYTHING! this is so annoying
