Anyone have depersonalize feelings? It’s scaring me. I think my mind is going. I’m always having racing thoughts afraid to be alone and everyday I’m afraid dr wants me to add buspar to my cipralex but I’m so afraid it will make me worse

I have never heard the term depersonalize feelings what does this mean that you don’t feel your feelings

I've dealt with depersonalization. It was downright terrifying . I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize who was staring back at me. I can assure you your mind is not going anywhere: it's simply trying to distance itself from what appears to be an overwhelming issue. Disassociation and depersonlization are safety measures our mind takes to protect itself. There are actually techniques used to encourage these states in many contemplative traditions such as Buddhism and Christianity. At it's core, it allows us to not 'own' our issues nor identify with them.

I took Buspar for 3 years. Just now coming off of it. I had to titrate down as stopping abruptly is not good with any psyche med. I was on 60 mg/day. Down to 5 mg/day and will soon be done.

It's rough, but it gets better.

Ty so much I feel no one cares or gets me yes I’m scared to death some days I’m afraid I’ll have had enough was buspar helpful?

Buspar was helpful for about three years. I took it in the evening as it makes me sleepy, but has a nice calming effect for me. Unfortunately, it started to make me sick so I'm coming off it. This happens with psyche meds sometimes.
