Can derealization be linked to OCD? I get this feeling of reality seeming “off”. I feel disturbed to everything around me, and I feel like I’m sinking or going insane. It really do sucks because you feel weak and don’t know how to escape it. Can any of you guys relate??

I think I understand, mine is more like Im emotion less to things around me. I have felt derealizrd before though and still do, cant really tell since ive been in a numbed state for many months now. I bascially have no clarity towards life

I feel you, going through it rn It’s hard but accept it It eases tension Not accepting and being so afraid of it gave me panic attacks

Ranging from "Who is that in the mirror?" "Hey, where did my emotions go?" "I have no memory of doing something I clearly just did." "Hey, this isn't the body I thought I was in." "What is happening?" Those are mine. I do this probably more often than us healthy. I've heard it's common for us.
