Hey guys ! for the last couple of weeks i've been feeling detached ... i feel like i cant focus and feel introvert , like i keep having anxious thoughts in my head but i dont feel anxious at all .. i feel like im high or drunk and closed in myself ... im scared that im developing some kind of a serious mental illness like Schizophrenia because i noticed that Schizophrenic people are very quiet and it takes them time to respond and they look like they are in their own world and detached from reality !
Me too Marcus. Have you seen anyone about how you are feeling? This is classic depression. I feel detached or numb is a better word, void of all feelings especially excitement this xmas. waiting for therapy to start x
i dont think its depression at all because i love my life and want to live them to the fullest but i feel weird for the last couple of weeks …
what you are experiencing is called depersonalization. its very common with chronic anxiety. its your brains way of blocking out things that cause anxiety . its not harmful and will go away once you are able to reduce stress or anxiety. your brain has to know all is ok. IVE had it many times over many years until i learned what to do. a good therapist can help, there are great talks on you tube about how to take control of anxiety, etc exercise is great, meditation too.
ive been suffering from Derealization 24/7 since i was 17 and im 23 now. i dont know if i developed depersonalization too ..
im scared im becoming depressed or something …
