It sounds like you’re in a deep OCD-anxiety spiral, where intense overthinking has led to existential OCD, derealization (DPDR), and panic-like symptoms. Your mind is stuck asking: “What if none of this is real?”—and the more you fight these thoughts, the more trapped you feel.
What you’re feeling isn’t schizophrenia. It’s your anxious brain trying to make sense of fear, not reality falling apart. DPDR and existential thoughts can feel terrifying—but they are common, treatable, and temporary.
We’ll work on breaking this loop through CBT and grounding work—getting you back to feeling present, calm, and safe in your own mind again. You will come out of this.
Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
