OCD and unusual connected disturbs

I'm suffering from OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), even if not in particularly serious form (repeatedly checking that parked car has been locked before leaving it, imagining losing control or aggressive urges, an obsession with numbers, anxiety... etc etc). In addition to the normal trouble of the patology, I'm suffer from a unusual and very debilitating trouble, that I don't know if it is caused from OCD. I feel myself constantly dazed, nearly drunk, not totally mentally lucid, nearly not completely awake, in a continuous mental numbness. I precise that I drink little, I don't smoke, I don't use drugs. Can it be a collateral effect of OCD? Suffers someone from the same disturbance? Can someone help me?

Hello Alberto and welcome to Psych Central.
There are many treatments available for OCD at this time from a therapist. My concern is that you need to go to a professional therapist to get a diagnosis and get treatment for the diagnosis from a professional to feel better and learn better techniques to help control the OCD. Take care and good day. Soidhonia

I will make it sure, I am also very interested to know if this disturb (mental numbbess) can depend on OCD. In effect for me is more enervating this one, that the others disturbs direct connected with OCD. In any case I look immediatly for a specialist in my city.
Thanks.

Hi Alberto. I have mild OCD tendencies, but my bigger problem has been GAD and panic attacks. When my anxiety was much more severe than it is now, I often felt like I was in a brain-fog and some days I felt like I was on auto-pilot -- like I wasn't fully lucid and wasn't fully present while I was doing things. I was still able to do my job and talk to people, but it was like I was experiencing everything through a haze. My doc told me it was because my anxiety was using up such a large part of my brain. That constant heightened state of anxiety is exhausting to our bodies and our minds.

You should talk to your doc about what you're experiencing.

I get brain-foggy from my medication now, but it's different (and not as surreal a feeling) as before I started taking medication and got my anxiety under control.

i agree with Juliana. there are times when I am just completely not present in what it going on around me. Nights can pass and I have no idea what I spent the time doing. ( I dont know if that is similar to what you are talking about, but I feel like it relates.) I personally have a medium form of OCD and then GAD so I am not sure if it is connected to just OCD, or like what Juliana said, the anxiety. I do know that my friend who has OCD said she understood my feeling of not being connected to life, and like I said, she's only OCD.
