I've been driving myself crazy constantly I don't know if it's the medication I'm taking or just part of the anxiety but I feel like I'm starting to get better but then again I don't, everything still feels off and I feel like I forgot who I used to be and idk really what's going on ever and it feels like everything is unreal I also feel like I used to view the world differently and I'm stuck in a different body that isn't mine . Looking out of these two eyes just look different and freaks me out even looking at other humans it's hard to believe that I look like that too I really hope someone can help me or have had similar problems because I don't think this is normal anymore
I am definitely struggling with the same thing. I do not feel like myself anymore at all. I think it is all anxiety related. I just try to ignore it, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I hope we feel better soon!
Sadly, that's what makes it come back so often is how you constantly feel "off" it sparks a tiny concern which builds the anxiety again. It's the viscious circle. When you realize it. You actually feel beter longer. When you accept it, and know nothing else is wrong. 4 things that reduce anxiety attacks to less than 1 per month are as follows.
1. cut all caffeen and chocolate intake
2. eat no more than 10 grams of refined sugar per day 2 teaspoons (use honey or brown sugar up to 4 teaspoons per day)
3. excercise 30 minutes every day no matter what.
4. eat 10 servings fruits or vegetables per day
This has taken my anziety attacks from 1 - 2 a day to 1 to 2 a month or longer.
This is defo anxoety related i would feel like this at times when my anxiety was bad, id look at others and not feel like i was apart of the group it would freakl me out its hard to explain the feelings but they are there, anxiety does crazy things to your body amd mind x
Don't worry Anna just that your mind is tired, it's a classic symptom of anxiety called depersonalisation, I've had it a lot, it's like you are viewing the world through a window, detached and apart from everyone else. Fran
Does anyone feel lost with the time. Because im constantly in fear and feel disconnected and home all day I keep checking the time and reminding myself whats day it is and trying to remember what I done today or who I spoke with.
Anna what meds are you on.
Does anyone know what meds help with depersonalisation. Im really struggling here.
Feeling triped out with everything and everyone and even conversations.
I kind of know what you mean i find myself trying to remember what i did today or the day before and feel like im losing it :-\
I just started taking Zoloft 3 weeks ago
It would be helpful to know if you have all been diagnosed with anxiety and nothing more. I feel the same, and constantly convince myself that it must be something far more severe
Ive been diagnosed with cognitive anxiety and comorbid depersonalisation aswell as panic and agriphobia.
Jen ive spoken with you before and your symptoms seem you have depersonalisation which is triggered from high levels of anxiety.
Ive been told once the anxiety/panic are under control other symptoms will subside.
I've been diagnosed with panic disorder and PTSD
I've been waaaaaaaayyyy better lately, functioning and rare moments of DP. I just have random moments where I think it's schizophrenia. You guys have really helped me realize that it's not
Im glad 😊
Yeah I'm scared I have schizophrenia right now
But, Anna, we don't. I have seen SEVEN psychiatrists now and NONE of them have thought it was even close. They say DP is way more common with anxiety, PARTICULARLY your PTSD. Most common in PTSD
You don't anna don't freak out
Jen what meds are you on again. Did you have dp severe before. I have it every second of the day. Im thinking to take prozac
