Disconnected
Hello ! The last few days I have been feeling disconnected from myself like I am having thoughts but I just don’t care if that makes sense ? Even though I want to feel something I struggle with harm ocd since I was 13 and this kind of feeling has not happened before it’s like I’m in my body but I’m somewhere else I don’t know if any of this makes sense but if it does please let me know

Welcome back to the community @Izzyyy, it's lovely to hear from you again. This feeling of disconnection sounds really scary, especially as you haven't experienced it before. Am I right in hearing that your OCD thoughts have felt different since this feeling of disconnection?
Do you have any supports in your life who know how you've been feeling? Have you had a chance to talk to a mental health professional about what you've been experiencing?
If you're looking for one-on-one support, we have a PeerChat service where you can talk to a peer worker who may have had a similar experience. Alternatively, Beyond Blue can also offer free 24/7 counselling.
Experiencing something new like this can be nerve-wracking and I can see that you're hoping to seek some clarity around this. I want to share some resources that may be helpful to you. We have an article here that provides more information on dissociation. Health Direct may also provide more information around the disconnection you're feeling.
We will also be sending you an email to check in on you further so please keep an eye out for it!
