Im freaking out,I know I shouldn't be as it's something I'm used to,but since have depression and anxiety it's really causing me some distress.I've been feeling alot more normal in a sense,but still more like im elsewhere and my memories aren't helping.one of my family members wants to talk to me tomorrow,and normally I would worry about it but I could deal with it.but now im trying not to freak out,and it's adding to the sense of unreality.it's been scaring me how normal things have been feeling,but ive been trying to get on top of it.now because meeting me at the place we're meeting tomorrow seems so normal to my family member,it's really freaking me out for some reason.
hi, when you're in an anxious or depressed state, you find that your brain projects worst case senarios in turn, making you more anxious.
You could write down you 10 worst fears / problems etc and the chances are, only 1 of them may appear in your whole life, but natrually we worry about a potentially fictional scenario.
I do this all the time at work. I find myself getting angry at a colleage because I beleive I already know how they will approach a situation. When the time arrises, I am usually drastically wrong and think "ive wound myself up over nothing".
You havent mentioned meds or any other therapy in your post. Is this something you do / use?
take care

Im waiting for a phycyratist,and have propronal or how ever it's spelt.
Propranolol doesnt affect anything in your mind as such. It regulates heart rate and dulls the receptors that usually pick up on adrenaline. They do take th edge off feeling anxious because of this. I would go to your GP and explain your feelings and they may wish to prescribe you something else.
I was feeling like you only last week. Worried about nothing and anxious all of the time. I tried sertraline and that was awful and have now been on Citalopram for 5 days and am much better.
Hope you feel better shortly
Tom
