Hi,

You are not alone. It is the worst of the symptoms in my opinion. I just have to ride it out. Is there no support for you? Samaritans are on the phone 24/7. Explain your situation and hopefully you will have someone on the end of the phone. It can also be a good distraction and eleviate the symptoms. Take care.

Hi, any better today.?

I have that, and mew is right--it may be the worst aspect.

Here, it is early morning--I'm hoping you're having a better day/evening.

Post back if you feel like it.

Xx

Hi Dee,

I know--some of the biggest, most awful anxiety attacks have been before going to the dentist.

So sorry it's taken so long to answer. That's great about trying to accept uneasy feeling--focusing on a task at hand can be a helpful way of doing that.

I hope things are continuing well with you?

I understand, ive had DR. It sucks, but the only way i got rid of it, was seeing that i could still go out and function and i wouldnt like, keel over and die. My attention reverted then to another ssymptom and i didnt.even notice that the DR was gone. Its an awful symptom, but not the worst in my opinion after still suffering.with other symptoms. The worst symptoms are the ones that dehibilitate you and luckily, DR may seem like it does, but it really doesnt.

I decided to go everywhere when i learned.what it was. I even went with my mom to meet relatives at a casino for five hours. Surrounded by a bunch of people. Feeling.like id float away.

And nothing bad happened! Thats what you have to show yourself.

Now, im sufferingfr om light headedness which makes.me feel debilitated, i almost wish i had DR instead! Because i knew i could still do stuff and be fine. I dont feel that assurance with this next symptom.

Youre not alone! DR occurs when yourind has like, put.itself on pause. It needs a break. It cant take anymore stress. It wants a time out. And not worrying is exactlt how you do it. Its like coaxing a turtle out of its shell. Same exact idea. Screaming and worrying and threatening it wont help. Youve gotta belike, "okay, not looking. Im notw waiting. Im not going to check every five minutes." Its hard, but just remind yourself that its your brain saying it.needs a break.

Idk I'd have to say for me the derealization is most aweful feeling I feel like I'm disconnected from the world I go out but it's strange like I'm not looking through my own eyes!?:(I'm gonna try to face this and accept it I hope it will go away I do t feel like myself I just want to feel normal agin I hope I don't have phycological issue idk anymore have you tried anything to help get rid of or not focus on this strange feeling?i have it all day and night do u?its not normal and before 3 weeks ago I'd only get with panic attack but it would go away after I took Ativan but not anymore have you tried any antideppressiants that helped and no weight gain or anxiety medicine or just natural stuff?w/b
