I feel this .
hi Nicola! itās been more than two years since mine first started and I want you to know how good and happy I am right now. The reason I tell you this is because I want you to know YOU WILL GET BETTER soon too! Embrace the derealization. thatās your new normal! go out hiking, jogging, socializing in spite of feeling of derealization. I totally recommend going to a therapy specialized with OCD and Anxiety too! they can help a lot! donāt try to figure out why you get this weird feelings and thoughts and find solution for it. just let it be! to be honest there is no solution! good news is time really helps too! once you get on your routine life and let the time pass, things will start to get better and you become more confident to tour coping skills you will become a stronger person too ! let me know if you have more questions

i am feeling this way right now and wanted to know if you have felt any better since posting this?
Hey there
I have been battling anxiety for years.And the hypocondria and hyperawareness are definitely by biggest issues. I have been feeling weird things such as muscles twitches, tremors, heart palpitations, random pain, it drives me crazy and I will Google about these symptoms for hours on end looking for answers. If course the worst diseases are the one that always catch my eye. I will become aware of my breathing, how I talk, how I walk, suddenly everything seems of as if I canāt even walk properly. This is like nightmare fuel and immediately triggers strong panic attacks and anxiety episodes. Iāve been checked by the doctor, I had low vitamin D but that was it. It just feels unreal that all these scary symptoms are caused by anxiety. I wake up thinking I have something deathly and fall asleep thinking iIwonāt t wake up. I donāt trust doctors anymore, I just think they have no idea what th ey are doing, I have weird symptoms, how come they say this is not an illness? Iām not even supersticious, but when it comes down to medical anxiety, Iām the absolute worst. If I see someone on the street in a wheelchair, an awareness poster, or even an article on the news about a deadly or life changing disease Iāll just panic and think this is a sign that I have that and should get tested. KIdonāt know what to do with my life anymore Iām terrified of dying young with ALS or cancer and leaving my husband and baby by themselves (Iām 27). This is slowly driving my husband crazy because he doesnāt know what to do and thinks Iām imagining things.
hi gwyneth, i never thought id see an experience so close to how iāve been feeling. did you ever get an answer to this and why you feel this way?
Wow your story sounds almost exactly like mine except for three months now ive been experiencing the same that you have. Serious cycles of anxiety and intrusive thoughts and just being very aware of myself and so scared to just live my life because of all of these things. I just dont see a way out at the moment but seeing you say there is gives me hope. Best wishes.
Oh my goodness what you said about āmy reality was that I saw them, but their realities were that they saw meā thats exactly how ive been feeling recently and ive been so scared i thought i was alone in this and i was losing my mind and going crazy. Im so relieved to know im not alone and am not the only one whos ever felt like this

oh my goodness i have been going through this exact fear and symptoms! my mind convinced me that i was going to go crazy at any given moment and i became so hyperaware of my existence. i recently got blood work done and found out i was deficient in vitamin D3 and started taking supplements along with magnesium glycinate for almost a month now and those thoughts have gone down a lot! not sure if thereās an exact link to the anxiety and intrusive thoughts but ive heard there is. i still deal with moments where i question āwhat if im all hallucinating rnā or feeling as though i had just woken up and realized im alive. worst feeling ever i used to freak out about it and have panic attacks about it but ive learned to just let it pass. this post was made a long while ago im curious how are you doing now?
