Hl everyone been a horrible year so far I have been diagnosed with panic disorder and ocd and health anxiety big bag of fun 😬 . In November last year my health anxiety got really bad which resulted in severe panic attacks that nearly sent me into a psychiatric hospital so was quite traumatizing for me to experience considering my main health obsession is going insane . After these severe panic attacks subsided I developed depersonalization or derealization I'm not sure what one it was scary that's for sure this dissociation lasted untill February then it would leave for few weeks thencome back for few weeks this pattern went on till May then I'm left with this horrible feeling of just not feeling myself I feel really odd my vision feels hazy sometimes i feel like I'm living in my head and like everything looks strange to me but this feeling of not being me anymore is maddening it's so uncomfortable and scary so my question is ,, does this new symptoms seem. Like depersonalization or derealization cause I'm not sure anymore which is scaring me even more .
I get brain fog like I'm lightheaded and feel disconnected from my body. Mental unclarity and off balance. It's excessive anxiety and stress and fear / worry. But I think the specific term is derealization. It's improved in 2 months.. Just eating healthy / exercising / getting extra sleep and supplements
I was researching DP/DR and one of the people here suggested I check out google. I did google that and got some tremendous insight and info. . Although I only had a brief episode of DP that ended quickly, it helped me understand, so you might want to check it out.
I have a question...in all the diagnosing and tests, did anyone put you on any medication? If so, what, and how is it working? Hugs to you, Allison.
What meds are you on. Anxiety does this. I call it sur-real, state of foggyness and not with it. We tend to turn in on ourselfs, and then we fixate on everything that were feeling. You got a bunch of stuff going on in your head. Stop the madness. please get on meds. Call your doc right a way. I promise your get better.
