Okay y’all this is starting to freak me out. Idk if this is an extension of depersonalization/derealization or not, but I don’t like it. It’s like as a moment is happening or right after it happens I’m aware that it’s gone and it’s a memory now. And I sit and think about things I did that day or in the past and they don’t always feel that far away or sometimes they do. Idk it’s so weird to try to explain. Is this an extension of derealization/depersonalization or could it be like a new obsession with my OCD? I know it doesn’t make sense and that time is passing like it always has, but I’m so afraid I’m going crazy.

It seems part of your condition, although time passes and never returns so if something has happened it will not happen again at that earlier time. Personally I do not think you are crazy just a little Anxious. If you feel the need for the Doctor to have words with you make an appointment

Thanks! I’ve just started a higher dose of medicine and another new anxiety med, so maybe once those really kick in I’ll be okay. Just right now I feel so hopeless sometimes.
I also have my first counseling appointment tomorrow.

Stop worrying you have an appointment tomorrow, ask about the Mindfulness Relaxation Technique. and also Breathing Techniques. Both are tools that may help
