I have not and do not experience that
and when i do dissociate I do go away! I have also had that thing where i feel as though I'm observing myself ftom outside my body ect.

I would say having anxiety and OCD myself wbat really belped was learning CBT. What your going through may be a different type of depersonalisation as your T says. It could also be analytic OCD thoughts... hmmm interesting. You may want to post this on the anxiety and OCD areas too. I was reading through those the other day and saw SOME of the people disspciate when they have panic attacks. Keep posting here too of course! and if you ever want to tslk privatly you can PM me.

Thanks a lot. Yeah I guess you could put it that way that I am so focused on my thoughts and my mind that it doesn't feel like me anymore sort of lol. Almost like my mind is mirroring itself. I am fairly confident it is connected to my OCD because this all came about from me not doing a compulsion. It's so hard to articulate sometimes. I have posted what I am experiencing a few weeks ago in the OCD forum and I received some helpful replies, but I was not too confident that people fully understood what I was trying to explain. As I have dealt with OCD type thoughts for years, this is something I have never experienced until now and I have used strategies that have worked in the past, but they don't seem to work now.
