One of the characteristics of a person with ocpd is that they always strive for perfection and perfection.
He loses control over the balance of behaviors and feelings while dealing with others, thus giving society more than he takes.
He sacrifices himself and his dignity often..... It is tiring for the soul...

wish you all the best
When we live with a sense of urgency and always think about our next task, we prevent ourselves from focusing on the present moment and being vigilant.... Create your present joy and consider your next step slowly...

A friend of mine swears by these. He said in 1 week on them he was a lot better. I’m on day 4 and feel like I am better. It could be all in my head. Wish me luck.

It's really unfortunate
I hope you recover from this emotional mess
You can use this journal to copewith these obstacles, also try to put solutions.
I think you may benefit a great deal from exploring the (well-known and widely used) Internal Family Systems Model via the "inventor's" book. Once we "get friendly" with our "protectors," things begin to change in a hurry.

Not really. I've had this one for 3 years, used every night, and had no issues. It has white noise or fan noise, I prefer the fan noise.
Hi, I have OCPD. I can definitely to feelings of empty/flat/boring-ness: I've struggled with isolation and lack of fulfillment in life and relationships, because mostly I'm just trying to hit all the beats in a script.
Like you my perfectionism doesn't just manifest in workaholism; for example I have really good work-life balance, because based on experience and observation, that's part of being perfect. Even if I've grown outwardly less Type-A over time, the reality is I've just adapted my internal definition of perfection with new unrealistic standards.
I do find that said periodic redefining of standards has led me to sort of divide up my life into eras. I have a tendency to malign past-tense me (I was a terrible friend, a shitty person, an abusive girlfriend...)
This obviously black-and-white thinking manifests in the form of deeply negative self-talk. Taken to its extreme, I suppose that could turn into total dissociation of the past self ("that wasn't the 'real' me being shitty to my ex")--and same line of thinking for times that you feel over-emotional / not in control.
I haven't personally experienced this to the point of actual dissociation, and haven't heard of that in conjunction with OCPD. THat's not to say it doesn't happen, I really have no qualifications to say.
Per my therapist, some of my past behaviors would classify me as "OCPD with narcissistic tendencies"--so I think it's very possible you display features/traits of other PD's (in your case the dissociation).
If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control which does a really good job illustrating patterns of thought and behavior that aren't as obvious as the typical Type A "neat freak" / tightwad stereotypes (of which I am most certainly neither)
