For the past few days I've had bad anxiety the feeling of knowing where I am and who I am but not feeling myself in me. Like derealization and depersonalization. It's horrible and I'm scared. I feel like I'm losing control. Please help
me.
That is very tough. Although I don't experience derealization and depersonalization as much as others on this forum, I read a book that explains a lot about how to deal with it. I already got introuble for stating the name of the book on this forum, but just search for popular books on anxiety and panic. Honestly I don't read but books really do wonders over therapy and meds in my experience.
So basically the book was saying that once your anxiety lessens, your depersonalization and derealization will go away. So just know that it will not last forever GUARANTEED. You may have doubts about that, but it WILL end once your anxiety lessens.
Another huge tip from the book is that you need to not be scared of it. Because if you're scared, it sends you into an endless cycle of anxiety feeding off of your negative emotions. The book says to just allow the feeling of derealization and depersonalization, not to resist it. Just learn to be comfortably uncomfortable.
I hope that helps. I really urge you to look for books on that topic and also to see a doctor about it!
