Disassociation

Does anyone else experience disassociation or derealization when your anxiety is high? It was really bad the past two days, and I’m wondering if other people feel like that, or if it was only my anxiety.

High anxiety can cause feelings of dissociation/derealization, yes! I had this happen in the past when I was deep in my OCD obsessions and compulsions and it would come and go and last a few days

I felt this also the last 2-3 days too! You’re definitely not alone. My head would feel so groggy, and I wouldn’t feel myself, then I felt very panicky and anxious, and my anxiety was severe. Also any and every little thing would bother me, (like sensory overload) I feel like anxiety induced with OCD definitely attacks you like that time to time. You’re definitely not alone.
