![]() ![]() I feel like ripping out my insides sometimes! At this point though I think I should focus on the depression. I'm extremely grateful that my OCD has subsided since I started Celexa, but these other problems are becoming overwhelming! In the end I hope I don't have to choose between depression or severe OCD, because thats horrible! Either way, the "meat suit anxiety" is manageable, its just an awful feeling when it occurs. I heard Zoloft is a good SSRI in replacement of Celexa, perhaps I should switch to that, give it a few months and see if it makes a difference. I suffer from depression as well and I'm wondering if I may need to switch medications. ![]() I'm considering setting up an appointment with a psychologist and discussing some of my symptoms. It kind of pops out of nowhere and I don't think about it or get anxious about the onset, its something that just kind of occurs randomly. I haven't really thought much about it until recently, when I was younger I knew it was strange but i assumed it was normal. I wasn't sure if this was something I alone was experiencing, and I thought I was crazy. Sometimes I feel like I should be a bug or a bird because my own body feels foreign! It has been a very long time though and im concerned it won't go away on its own. I have been trying to accept the feeling, but occasionally it interferes with my ability to go to you are right it happens a lot in the morning typically before I am about to leave the house or after I have gotten ready. Sometimes it is manageable and easy to shake off and sometimes it becomes very intense. I literally just researched it today after getting an anxiety attack and finally found a name to stick to it other than "meat suit anxiety". It has been about 7-8 years now I have been experiencing it. I noticed the feeling of depersonalization at a young age, but I couldn't explain it and tried to ignore it. Im worried my OCD will return, but I also suffer from severe depression and wonder if thats a side effect or just passed down from my family. I have been on it for about 10 years now. Thanks for reading guys, i'd love some input. I have just been severely depressed and experiencing this awful meat suit anxiety since my diagnosis of OCD 11 years ago, and want to move on with my life. I'm wondering if anyone else who has OCD has experienced these feelings? I know other types of anxiety disorders that deal with the same part of the brain are common alongside OCD. I'm really not sure what it is, but its a scary feeling and generally worsens my depression. ![]() It has caused me to miss work and school. It typically lasts anywhere from 5-30 minutes but can recurr several times a day. Its very strange, I feel as though I'm in the wrong body, thus the "meat suit". I feel like ripping off all my clothes and jumping out of my body. It could be anything from the way my clothes feel on my body to the thought of my legs touching, and in some severe cases, the feeling or thought of my ribcage or any internal body parts. I feel as though I want to jump out of my body to get away from the "feeling" of it. Every feeling, and the look of random body parts on myself triggers a weird anxiety. The best way I can explain it is a feeling of anxiety of being in my own body. I have a hard time explaining it as it is quite a surreal feeling. However, since then I've constantly had this type of anxiety I refer to as "meat suit anxiety". At the age of 10 I was diagnosed with OCD and BDD and treated with an SSRI. ![]()
