[Mranxious11]

I get really bad derealization at work and I have to talk to people constantly which sucks, how do people deal with this?

I'm really sorry your are suffering with this.

I have suffered with this my self a few times and it is not nice at all but it's a normal not pleasent side effect of prolonged anxiety. It's your brains shutoff mechanism to protect you.

All I can say if you can find ways to calm your anxiety it should help your symptoms.

When someone is taking to you try and get involved in the conversation and find things that make you feel connected to other people. If you can find something in common with someone even if it's just taking about last nights t.v to take you away from your own thoughts.

Clare weeks explains this very well in her books which you can purchase or borrow form your local library. Xx
