The key to dealing with depersonalisation is accepting it and trying to go about your life regardless of it. When I suffer most from it, I try to just see the symptoms as 'neutral' rather than 'bad', like it's just an alternative way of feeling temporarily. The more I have accepted it being there, the less I've noticed it being there, and it often just fades away.

The 5 senses activity, so identifying 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell and 1 you can smell. This helps me feel more grounded and present. Also I find colouring in helpful too because it’s doing something physical where a part of your body is touching something external and you have to focus on getting in the lines. Hope this helps!

Question
In the last few days I have managed to drastically reduce compulsions. I have made good progress but the brain fog that I may be a bad person and that the world and my interactions aren’t real still persists. Any tips to address this? I’m not reacting to any of it which is uncomfortable.

Just looking for someone to relate to :)
I recently got diagnosed with OCD back in May of this year. What started it was a month prior, I took an SSRI which triggered an extremely intense couple of days due to panic attacks I’ve never had before. I’ve never had panic attacks but pretty intense anxiety. That’s when I started experiencing DPDR and hyper awareness. I’m good some days, but other days it’s so so hard. Especially because I have no one around me that understands. The DPDR and awareness of every feeling, thought, and just overall awareness of my existence gets really overwhelming. I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s really hard to sit with my thoughts especially when they’re on a constant loop of every little thing I’m thinking and doing and on top of that feeling like I’m in a dream. I desperately just want to go back to how I was 4 months ago, but I know that’s just not possible right now. If anyone has experienced this and is doing much better now or even currently experiencing this please let me know! I need someone to relate to lol
