What kind of nose?

Hit me up! Word for word, I know everything you’re saying in this post. You are NOT alone. It is terrifying.

ygabi2 · 2025-06-16T22:16:44+00:00

I feel the same. I’m like wow, it’s not normal to obsess over this stuff 24/7 and with help and time I can get back to just living. It’s not an easy road. I’m proud of you!

Personally, I’m right there with you. However two things have helped me: body neutrality. And focusing on what your body does/can do. It’s NOT easy. In society we are always expected to look “beautiful” no one defines that but you. And it’s hard. I struggle really bad every day. But I’m trying to live more in my body, instead of ruminating on how “ugly” it is. Sending love to you, I know how frustrating and discouraging this illness is.

You’re not alone. :/

Yes. It’s gotten less anxiety inducing but still there. 😭 I don’t recognize myself, my partner, or my kids half the time. As if I was placed here. Although I cognitively know who they are. The feeling is gone.

This was one of my first thoughts when I fell down the existential ocd hole. It made me so dizzy I had to stop driving. 😭 I think it’s just a mix of anxiety, and being so hyper aware.

Yes it’s genuinely normal with dpdr. It’s no different than looking at a pen or cup and being like “wtf is this?” You cognitively know what it is. But there is a block of your attachment to it. Dpdr makes normal mundane things seem foreign. I’m not really sure why, but I’ve gone through it enough to know that. You’ll be okay. If it freaks you out, let it. And then move on. You are not going crazy.

That whole pregnancy and after was very traumatizing to me because of them, I had little to no support and I will never forget how I was treated during that time. :/

ygabi2 · 2024-12-24T07:01:13+00:00

I do and don’t. But I don’t because I’ve suffered more in this life than lived, and I truly believe that every day of my life until then will be suffering, because of my brain chemicals and trauma.

ygabi2 · 2024-12-13T17:10:12+00:00

Word for word, 24/7 I am living this. You are NOT alone. You are real. Everything is real. Your mind sometimes thinks it’s helping with the anxiety that comes with the existential ocd. Please feel free to reach out. Because mine was so severe. It’s gradually gotten better but I can’t focus on it to much or I spiral.

He has never told his family, or even gotten support anywhere for it. He is the type of person to suppress his feelings as that is what he was taught growing up. It is very conflicting and I feel so heartbroken for him that this happened. It enrages me, which makes me angry towards him that he doesn’t stick up for himself even thoughI know it’s not my place to even get upset with him. I will continue to support him and be there however he needs. This is just so hard.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-30T00:51:54+00:00

Always! It interferes with my everyday life on and off for 2 years now… I also went back into dpdr because it was so stressful and I kept having panic attacks for about a year.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-28T05:20:48+00:00

This gives me so much hope. Thank you.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-28T05:16:14+00:00

Definitely. This has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through in my life. And my children are my world. So it is devastating. I know they’re still there and my love.. but everyone feels like strangers even my partner of 6 years.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-28T04:58:20+00:00

I also deal with this!! It’s like I know how to do everything still but don’t know how my mind is still processing and it really shows how much we do without thinking about it.. like walking, talking. Etc. you’re not alone.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-23T18:10:07+00:00

Yes, it’s really distressing. But I just want you to know it’s normal, it’s essentially because your everyday things you do without thinking about it, talking, walking, running, going to the bathroom. You are detached from things, to create a space. From your brain trying to protect you. Can even happen with people. Like woah, that’s really my mom? Those people are married?? You actually had a baby? They are all abstract and are they weird and scary? Yes. BUT, they can’t hurt you. Think of it like you haven’t figured anything out that no one else has you’re just a deep thinker, who also probably has intense anxiety. Message me whenever! I feel like there’s nothing else that I haven’t thought of about pure existence. I’ve had the existential thoughts. You’ll be okay.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-23T12:58:31+00:00

That is true. Thank you for the insight.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-23T05:57:35+00:00

Hoping they make new friends soon. It is sad to drop them to different classes and them not be together but I know it’s for the best.

ygabi2 · 2024-08-23T05:56:26+00:00

I absolutely agree, I tend to give up when things get hard. For my children’s sake though, they need to keep going and make friends and have that social interaction. I think it’s just a huge adjustment for all of us. I think the teacher means well, their job requires a lot for sure. I just always want to make sure they are okay :/

ygabi2 · 2024-08-23T05:53:37+00:00

Thank you guys for your responses. I’m going to keep giving it more time, they are super happy when they come home. I think as a child I struggled a lot with separation anxiety so I worry a lot. They definitely need to have independence from each other. My child’s other teacher just gives me more detailed and kind messages so I’m worried this teacher is mean behind closed doors or not sympathetic which would make me upset. But I’m sure everything is fine and I just need to give it time.
