dp/dr

[Danzdanz123]

just had a dp/dr out of nowhere and I’ve been anxious and having panic attacks feel like I can’t do anything but feel disgusting rotting in bed. Feels awful feels like I’m going crazy or dying have my last therapy appointment tomorrow too and I feel so scared really too tired to put the cbt into practice

I hope you get some relief from your therapy appointment tomorrow.

Thank you just feel like I’m in a horror movie

Is there a way to continue the therapy? That might have you stressed

[Danzdanz123 in reply to Artistfriend]

Not able to stay with her but she might refer me to the more serious team of she knows I’ve slipped which scares me more

[Artistfriend in reply to Danzdanz123]

That might be the help you need at the moment

What is 'dp/dr'?

[Danzdanz123 in reply to bethelbee]

Depersonalisation derealisation

[bethelbee in reply to Danzdanz123]

Thx, never heard of that term. Is it related to your anxiety and panic attacks? I get severe anxiety and panic but never experienced what you mentioned.

[Danzdanz123 in reply to bethelbee]

It’s really difficult to explain but you don’t feel like yourself and the world feels off and not the same feels like you are in a horror movie sometimes can feel like you have cling film over your eyes but tbh more than anything it’s a feeling but it’s harmless it’s your brain trying to protect itself because it thinks it’s in danger.

So sorry you are feeling this way and not able to stay with your present therapist. Hope you're able to get the help you need from the follow up team if that's who you end up seeing.

Thank you I’ve barley been sleeping I had around 2 hours last night and 2 hours the night before it’s driving me up the wall

[bethelbee in reply to Danzdanz123]

I know how you feel. I don't sleep well either and it really annoys me! I sometimes end up taking an Ativan the middle of the night, it helps a little. I'm also on Buspar.
