Help need reassurance

Can someone please tell what are your symptoms with depersonalization and derealization because everyday I battle to just feel real like I can’t concentrate on anything I always have in my mind on checking how Iam feeling or questioning everything and just so many thoughts it do hard to deal with everyday at work and everywhere

Sorry, I don't know how to respond to that. Not quite sure what you mean by depersonalization and derealization. I hope you feel better.

I feel that way a lot and have been told it’s both of those.

I have those symptoms but also just feel like I’m in a bubble sometimes. Just watching everything around me and like I’m not really there. And when it happens I don’t always remember what I was doing

Hi.. Iv struggled with depersionalisation and disassociation... IV always felt detached from everything around me like I'm in my own very claustrophobic world. Watching every thi g around me like it's a TV show... From talking with my psychologist I have made progress with this... If you don't have a receptive medical professional to talk to perhaps speak to your GP and see if you can get that support.. I think feeling detached and disassociating is the brains method of dealing with issues we struggle with... In my case trauma and possibly social anxiety a d depression... We detach out of a misguided sence of self preservation... This will be different for each individual I'd imagine though... I am finding DBT and CAT very helpful in dealing with this... In my experience certainly iv been doing a lot of mindfulness, I'm very much a novice but the idea is to help us be in the present aware of what's around us... I find this very grounding and it brings me out of my head world and helps me feel much more grounded... There are simple things out there than can definitly help you... I'm not a professional and only talking from my personal experience but keep faith that you can help your situation... Mindfulness would be a very good place to start, there are many wonderful mindfulnes videos free on you tube.. I use some guided audio books iv downloaded too... Here to talk if any of this was helpful

It's your mind's way of distancing you from the cause of the anxiety that it senses. But of course it's most unhelpful. I had it years ago, I described it as if watching everything on tv because "I'm not actually there."

It is a symptom of anxiety disorder and will resolve when you recover from the anxiety. In the meantime just accept it for the moment, it will not harm you and it will pass.
