Am I the only one??

Does anyone else hear about something bad that happened to someone else, like an accident or disease or something and get really bad anxiety from it thinking the same exact things is going to happen to his or her self too?

Sometimes but not often with me. I suppose it depends what state I'm in, if I'm already in my anxious state, then I usually feel like this.

[RyRywifey Ambassador in reply to Ibanana]

That's usually how I am too. I suppose one can be in an anxious state and not realize it as well. Because this happened to me earlier today and I thought I was having a great morning lol

Yes it happens to me at time and I got extremely anxious

When the person is close to my age it bothers me more than it should. I've been an ER nurse for 20 years so I'm used to seeing death, but lately when the person is within 10 years of my age I let it get to me more than I should.

How did you get rid of derealizaton?

[RyRywifey Ambassador in reply to Jq0323]

I started taking Magnesium and used grounding techniques

[Jq0323 in reply to RyRywifey]

What kind of magnesium? And what did you notice first that went a away from DR?

[RyRywifey Ambassador in reply to Jq0323]

Magnesium (with silica) 300mg by Countrylife. And the first thing that went away was the scary ass existential thoughts, quickly followed by the feeling of not being real

[HopingCat in reply to RyRywifey]

Ahhh that's my biggest problem right now. Those damn existential thoughts!!!!!

[RyRywifey Ambassador in reply to HopingCat]

Omg they are sooooo scary!!!!! They kept me from sleeping and I would cry literally allllll day and night from being sick with fear

[HopingCat in reply to RyRywifey]

Yes. Every time they pop up I start getting panic. I just hate this feelings of thinking I created this world on my imagination and everyone is fake including me. It's so damn weird!! Man I really hope I become normal soon. I'm really trying. You see me cooking and posting. I'm hoping that's a good sign

[RyRywifey Ambassador in reply to HopingCat]

That's EXACTLY what I used to have thought about. Yeah it will go away

I get this feeling too. I imagine bad things happening to my daughter and I then get anxious. I do it to myself though, I look at the news often. I don't know why. I really shouldn't watch the news at all since it gives me anxiety.
