derealization

[anonleo]

when does it go away? I’ve been reading and learning things about it and I’m trying not to fear it and just accept being uncomfortable and forcing myself to go out and do things but I don’t want it to be permanent! I need it goneeeeeee so I can enjoy my life

anonleo, your words are so exactly right for the way I felt all day today. Derealization is the best word for it. I googled the word. I also have chronic pain,which never seems to go away either. I had myself a good cry at one point. I try so hard to get rid of that lonely disconnected feeling. It causes arthritis and headaches to flare to the point of just being able to lie there. I hope you are feeling better and maybe we will have a better day tomorrow. Always keep hoping. Sending a hug…

You are doing great despite how you may feel right now. You are going out and still doing despite the fact you are going through depersonalization making you feel uncomfortable.

It will go away. It's not permanent as your anxiety decreases so will the depersonalization.

Just let it run it's course. Don't fight it. It'll go away on its own. Go out and live your life. Tell anxiety to go have several seats. You know anxiety is only doing this to scare you and it won't work. Because you know it won't work because you were able to do things. So it can try all it works. But you are stronger than it is.

Sending you support and peace 🫂 ❤️

Sometimes I get caught in thinking like is this really anxiety or is it really me? You know idk. I try to remind myself but I feel like I’m also losing myself too honestly
