Chronic depersonalization from panic attacks

Mental health
1

Hi everyone ☺ its been over a year since i was last on here .

My mental health history is been diagnosed with ocd and panic disorder also health anxiety by age 16 im now 33 .

In November 2015 the health anxiety flared up really badly i was a total mess , towards December i started to experience terrible anxiety and panic attacks worst panic attacks that i have ever experienced they lasted hours on hours.

I was medicated which helped so much it was a relief .

However after the panic attacks subsided i was left in a chronic state of depersonalization and derealization. The symptoms of depersonalization was hard to accept as i hadnt ever had such bizarre feelings before .

The feelings of chronic depersonalization lasted till july 2016 so over 6 months since it first started.

Then it lifted for 2 weeks it was wonderful BUT ocd again flared up , then i was depersonalized again from the anxiety from washing 10 times a day and constant cleaning of my hpuse ect it was bad bad ocd again .

That last flare up if ocd lasted a few months untill i started therapy .

But i still havent gotten over the depersonalization its non stop chronic never goes completely away.

I haven't felt like myself since the start of November 2015 , i dont know what to do i my dr hasnt said anything that will stop it sll they say is when the anxiety goes the depersonalization will to .

Im back on this site looking for others that have chronic depersonalization from panic attacks or ocd and other mental illnesses ?

I feel alone in this because from what ive read depersonalization is not chroinc in panic attacks but thats all i have ocd and generalized anxiety.

Anyone else 😑😓😓

Hi, I have suffered chronic depersonalization for 3 years to date after my father died.

I have also had 6 years of chronic anxiety, 3 when he had been diagnosed and 3 after to date.

I feel detatched from reality, normality and normal emotion like living awake but in a dream.

On Sertraline and diazepam and just started therapy.
