Try mindfulness it helps. I did it today and I feel pretty good. I’m more engaged in my surroundings. I’m more present

What do you mean my mindfulness? Meditation?

@random_person Yeah it’s like meditation. It claims to improve your brain in away to be engaged in the present. And it’s only 6 minutes. I’m not saying it’s going to cure you or anything but it definitely helps. They say you can see improvement if you do it consistently

Sounds like dissociation. Unfortunately I’ve been realizing that I struggle with this quite a bit as well :/

@random_person Overall, I feel super disconnected from where I am and what I’m doing; it’s hard to describe since it’s my “normal.” I’m on autopilot a lot of the time. I feel like I can’t catch my breath or fully take in an experience. I may be present in a space, but mentally I’m not “there.” I get tunnel vision and turn inward into my own thoughts. I feel like time is moving slowly for me but I can’t keep up with others. I can’t process things as quickly as others. I often have to have people repeat what they said or rewind a show to catch exactly what they were saying because I zone out. I’m disconnected from my emotions. I can’t decipher what I want a lot of the time even if it’s just deciding what I want my day to look like. I’m very numbed out. I don’t have an official diagnosis, but this is definitely something that I’ll be bringing up to my therapist. There’s something called dissociative depression, and I can relate to some of those symptoms.

@loveisanopendoor I totally understand that. I'm pretty that in this stage right now. It's like I'm watching myself from a 3rd person view. Ocd makes it even worse when I start doubting my own existence. I have figured out that it start getting bad when my anxiety is very high.

Ride it out unfortunately, if you sense a panic attack building up. Just know that you wont die. And most importantly Do Deep Breathing and try to calm yourself down

I think I’m going through the hardest depression right now. I’ve never felt so compelled to just stop getting up and stop living. I know it’s hard to hear, I just really feel bad. Right now I even feel like an attention seeker. I just wanted to know, are there any tips to raise me from this hole im in? Has anyone else felt like this an pulled themselves out?

Not necessarily asking for reassurance and I know I’ve mentioned this here before but my OCD has been affecting my cognition seemingly. I’ll forget small things or put things in odd places sometimes, or mix up words - things like that. Obviously this triggers me to be like “Alzheimers/dementia.” Can anyone relate? And if you recovered what did you do for it?

Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
