Hi Everyone, so lately i think it must be from depersonalization but i think it struck a chord with my ocd. Sometimes my brain feels like it literally cant comprehend reality and i feel like im losing my grasp. Like its so strong I feel confused and i have to try to basically just push through the feelings. But my brain will be like is this reality? Is this a hallucination? Am i developing psychosis? Sometimes when im at work I think i hear someone say my name in their voice a few registers down but I dont think they actually did in reality. I dont know does that happen to anyone else? Is this the beginning of me losing it further.
I hear my name being called all the time and no one is there i hear man’s voices in my head calling my name and no one is there
Hi Mark. I have ocd traits and i do experience why you describe. I also see people pulling faces etc when apparently they arent. This is when i am very anxious. Been on fluoxetine a month now and turning a corner. Hope you are ok? I know how weird it feels.
I think its a bit of everything questioning reality must be from depersonalization and the hearing names can be anxiety which which is normal yet ocd is just the loop that makes you think about it again and so on
is this an anxiety thing? or ocd potentially? im sorry it always catches me off guard when i think i hear something maybe im too keyed up
It’s a anxiety thing
Thank You!!! not in a bad way but its really reassuring that anxiety can be this bad. Anxiety issues can be down right awful. Im trying to push and keep doing things i enjoy doing but its interfering with college and I hate that. my psych prescribed abilify that im taking and only that, i think i need something else with it to boost it more and attack the ocd elements.
thank you that is really accurate and i appreciate that. it is an endless tiring cycle but it feels so much worse but probably because my brain is tired and worn down? it just is overwhelming.
