Does it feel like your mind is at the forefront of your conciousness?

I'm not sure what you mean.

It's very hard to explain, but I feel like I'm living in my head. Something has to be going on in my head at all times. Though I'm in reality, I feel disconnected from the physical environment around me. Sorry😞 this was the best way I could explain it.

@MsMerryMack That sounds like derealization, I could be wrong, but that's what it sounds like. Which I think is a common thing for those of us with OCD. I personally don't currently feel that way, but for me currently I'm just stuck in a thought and stuck in mental review which sucks. For your situation, maybe you could try the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise to bring you back to your present surroundings, from your head into your body.

Grounding techniques?
I can't focus on anything but my thoughts. I'm so inside my head, and my mom always tells me to focus on my body and my surroundings, but I can't, or maybe I just don't know how. I try to, but it doesn't help. The thoughts are still there :(

Help Out of Loop
I had a really bad nightmare revolving around one of my big themes and I woke up with the panic still left over the dream as if it was real and I kept thinking about the situations. I tried to tell myself it was just a dream, but then it made me question real life. So then it was a cycle of ruminating about the events as though they were real and my reality which really messed me up bc my biggest theme right now is becoming schizophrenic/catatonic/"crazy." I feel stuck in a loop, I've tried saying the "maybes" and even talking to my partner about other things but it just keeps looping in my head "am I crazy?" "I can't differentiate between dreams" "I feel like I'm stuck in my head and I can't even talk". Any tips? I feel like I'm at the crescendo of my 20 years (lifelong) ocd due to stress from moving soon.
