https://youtu.be/JJx8eBl1nX4 Go to 37 minutes in. They talk about dpdr on tonights livestream and jenna says a great analogy. She says that for dpdr its like being in a car, with broken brakes goinf 80 mph. And to slow it down, with ocd we keep trying to hit the brakes (obsessions and compulsions) but keep accidentally hitting the gas, so the only way to get out of this state is to take both feel off the pedals and just let it happen

I don’t know but I’ve been dealing with it on and off for weeks now but I also came off my SSRI. I didn’t experience it until I was put on my med. but it does go from severe to feeling calm and knowing the feeling is still lingering but it’s not dangerous and it’s not going to hurt anyone so but I personally do get these moments where it hits me super hard and I don’t feel real and nothing does either.

Back again. You can have DR and feel calm. It's the worrying about the sensations that causes anxiety.

So for a while i have been suffering of HOCD combined with a little of ROCD and had massive episodes of anxiety and panic attacks, because of that I lost my attraction and my libido while also being in a relationship and that stresses me bad. Also since the start of the severe anxiety I started to lose it gradually over time and at the moment I do not feel any anxiety anymore while having these thoughts which makes me think that I want this to happen because they don’t disgust me anymore. Any advices on how to hold on and get over my OCD? Also is the disappearing of disgust a sign of recovery or denial?

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.
