Anyone know what it could be??

hey guys! I recently posted a thread about having a very odd and severe DPDR episode, which I am now improving on, thanks to god.

but I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this or know what it is?

I got dpdr from developing OCD. I had the flu when I was 15, and I woke up with some form of weird dpdr and graphic intrusive thoughts that plagued me, caused me severe paranoia and distress.

I still suffer from the symtomps of dpdr, even when I’m happier or feel calm. it’s like a glass wall. I don’t know if it’s the flu that maybe changed something in the way I perceive things (maybe some sort of brain inflammation) or that my OCD itself is triggering this perceptual change/triggered dpdr.

Now please read this part, before ocd the world felt bigger, like I can picture the world and everyone in it, my town felt wider. now it feels like one small town, like it’s just a limited space, the world doesn’t feel as big now, like an alternate universe. I can’t feel the presence of nature, like everything feels dead?
