In my experience, it often feels like you’re not inside of your body and you have no control over what your body is doing. For me it feels like my mind is floating outside of my head in a weird way. It also feels like you are detached from your environment. Like places you’ve been so many times feel like you’ve never been there before. I’ve found that holding something really cold can help ground me and shake me out of it sometimes. It’s scary and I’m sorry if you’re going through it! :(

When my OCD was at its worst, I was in an almost constant state of depersonalization. It was so scary. I would forget things, constantly zone out during conversations, and nothing around me every felt familiar. I always felt detached from my surroundings. It started to get better once I finished ERP and my OCD got better. But it stills happens once in a while. Usually when my OCD thoughts get really bad is when it’s at its worst.

Lately I’ve been having some thoughts like “i don’t feel real” and I feel disconnected and not been feeling like myself, I don’t know if this is just ocd because I do get thoughts about life and they don’t really cause much panic.. or could this be something else
