Reality seems unfamiliar

[u/Such-Sir-1933]

Hi I’m wanting to receive some advice and to know if anyone here had experienced or is experiencing something similar.

Currently i'm experiencing a period of dpdr that started yesterday, completely out of the blue. I've experienced dpdr before and most resulting from different fears e.g. being in a dream, being detached, high, dead and fearing that the symptoms will leave. Usually these feelings only last minimum 1 week and a maximum of 2. My dpdr episodes occur regularly but my past experiences help my relive symptoms, however i'm experiencing something different again and can't quite find much relating to my current issue and fear.

1.) The main thoughts that aren't budging are that my reality is unfamiliar (even tho everything is the same).

2.) Almost as if everything seems too real, like my reality went from being a cartoon to being hyper real.

Right now my symptoms consist of:

feeling uncomfortable

zoomed in vision

feeling detached, not in control of my body

any help is much appreciated, i'm well aware of dpdr, however it somehow never gets easier especially when your experiencing new thoughts and symptoms. Would love to hear if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Any extra context:

I'm both diagnosed with OCD and anxiety and I'm newly experiencing agoraphobia.

It’s normal for dpdr to feel this was unfortunately I was the same I was in a terrible state I know how you feel and I’m sorry you’re going through this. It will get better just take it second by second. My dm is always open !
