Existential OCD Success Stories
Hi all. I need to hear some SUCCESS stories from existential OCD and DPDR.
I started really suffering about a month ago. I am thinking too hard about everything. I’ve had a few bad bouts with DPDR over the weeks to the point where the world feels like it’s going to distort. My favorite things and favorite people feel unfamiliar. Other human beings feel like aliens or like they’re going to disappear into thin air. I’m overthinking why our bodies look the way they do. Why are we on earth. It feels overwhelmingly too big and too small. What is going on in other people’s minds and why aren’t they thinking about this? I feel like I discovered something I can’t forget or reached a new level of consciousness that I can’t leave. Is the whole world just in my mind? I keep having memories come to my mind and they give me a sinking feeling for some reason. Same thing with remembering dreams. I keep thinking I’m going to lose my mind.
I’m thinking about why we’re here, how every moment is fleeting, and how no one is truly happy. Thinking about getting older and my future gives me a pit in my stomach. I used to be a happy person and I’m so confused what happened.
It’s been torture to say the least. I feel like I’m in hell. I started Pristiq almost 2 weeks ago. At moments I can feel it improving but at others it feels worse.
I just need some hope from people who have felt this and gotten through it. Help a girl out 😞
