It can't make you go crazy right ? I'm scared it's gonna make me go into full psychosis

@Amagicmarie I'd say no, but you have to practice ERP to the thoughts of psychosis. Once you let go of the fear of becoming psychotic i think the DP DR symptoms will hopefully start to decrease :)

@alexisrae1999 It's just hard bc dissociation makes me see things in a weird way and lose my memory

@Amagicmarie Oh I totally feel that. It makes things feel like they never happened, right? Or that you're kind of observing the world and not actually living in it? I have been experiencing this for over 10 years. I just now learned about it and for the longest time I thought there was something severely wrong with me. Nope, just trauma/ocd. If you try to focus yourself and remind yourself the DP DR is just a symptom and is not actually you fading into existence, I promise you youll feel more in touch with everything. I was shocked at how quick the response was after doing ERP to it

I believe so, Im sure Im experiencing some form of dissociation, Like I feel totally out of it and not enagaged in anything. My emotions, feelings, perception all feel weird.

Do you ever feel like you’re dying?
I have existential ocd and dpdr and my mind keeps telling me I’m dying or will die. Is dpdr even manageable?
