Hi BravoBravo, I have certainly felt that way before, especially when my stress and anxiety are at their peak, like they’re doubling down on my state at the time…feels like I’m in a fog or haze with my intrusive thoughts making me doubt whether anything is real, or if maybe I’m still in a dream or something. My emotions are usually muted when I’m in the thick of it as well. The best thing I can think of is relaying when these episodes happen to your therapist if you have one, or someone else you confide in. Talking to someone always seemed to help me, not for reassurance, but just to get it off my chest and sort of keep me grounded. Also, when it happens, I would try to remind myself, so what if it is or isn’t real, and try to act as if I normally would and not do something ridiculous that would cause harm to me or others just in case. Stay strong and best wishes.

I am having a real hard time with meta-ocd and thoughts about feeling depressed and be like this forever. Or the thought I never feel normal again or never feel connected to normal life things and normal people. The intrusive thoughts are here like the whole day and they are all about my mental health. And I obsess about how I feel and what I feel with everything I do. It’s so hard to explain. If someone- a therapist or someone who dealt with this has tips or word of encouragement right now, that would me great. I feel like everything I want to learn myself about ocd and coming to this forum also is a bit compulsive. It is so confusing 🫤
