Does anyone else suffer from this with their Anxiety. I have OCD and the depersonalisation is terrible..it feels like I am not real and am in a dream....it scaring me...i keep thinking I am going to die or go crazy. Anyone else experience of this would be greatly appreciated.
Yes ma'am
it comes and goes. Hate it!!!
Yep, I have been experiencing this for the past few months. Initially, I would feel fine most the day, and have a few moments throughout the day that would feel like a dream / unreal. Now, my symptoms are pretty constant but less extreme. I can think my way into feeling like a dream, but generally by vision just seems a bit hazy. Very annoying and a bit depressing. Praying for freedom from this for both of us!
It really is horrific, I've suffered on and off for many years. It really is just a side effect the f anxiety, when my anxiety is leas,it is too,but it doesn't stop it from being terrifying
Yeh I do aswell.
Does anyone feel like there awake now and where has everyother day gone and its a new day but feeling strange about it and sorry cant really explain it properly and tripped out all the time
Hello clairbear
YES......many people who use this site experience Depersonalisation/Derealisation with anxiety. It is horrible and frightenening until
you can come to terms with it.
It can mianifest itself in several ways:
Feeling unreal
Feeling as if you are "fading away"
Feeling if when you speak, your voice is coming from nowhere
Feeling as if the walls/patterned wallpaper are coming in on you
Feeling as if buildings are coming in on you
Feeling as if you are very tall
Feeling as if you are very short
These are from my personal experiences....and no, I am not mad. Just the opposite.
It comes with heightened anxiety, but can be "cured" as anxiety lessens.
Keep posting, keep smiling. Good Luck
Have we all been diagnosed with anxiety? I know it's just anxiety but I'm always always scared its schizophrenia. I like reassurance that its not Cuz the docs told us so
Anxiety..Yes! Schizophrenia...No! .... I am obviously not a Doctor, but I am sure that symptoms for the latter are much more serious and more recognisable. So much more is known about anxiety symptoms now, thank goodness, than say 50/60 years ago. Also, you can tell by the number of people that use this site, that anxiety symptoms are actually common. Not surprising in this uncertain world and the pressures put on us all from so many directions. Keep Positive! Good Luck!
