I feel like I'm losing my mind

I can't think straight, my mind is racing I'm having strange thoughts about things I have no control over. I can't stop thinking about the past. I'm just in a constant state of panic. It's happened all of a sudden. I couldn't sleep last night due to my mind racing and every time I drifted off I felt panicky. I made some excuse that I couldn't go into work as I don't feel fit to be working with the public today(I'm a hairdresser) I really don't know what to do my boyfriends trying to understand but I just have a fear that I'm pushing him away. I don't feel like myself I feel like something awful is going to happen. My memory's become bad I cant decipher between what's a dream and what's reality. I really don't know what to do. Helpppp I'm so scared

Okay, if you have been thru something traumatic before and have some form of anxiety, you can develope DP/DR. It's your brains way of protecting you from reality. So you won't have to deal with more stress. It then creates a fake reality to take your mind off what's real. In turn creating its own anxiety because this symptom is so scary. Weed can also trigger DP/DR and/or make it worse. I got it from smoking weed almost 3 months ago and have started to recover about 2 weeks ago when I started taking Magnesium. I also YouTubed people with it and that also helped me a lot. People recover 100% so don't worry at all. You're going to be fine. Just understand that it is only anxiety and nothing at all more. Even with the feeling of impending doom, that's also from anxiety. I have the same symptoms. It's all anxiety and nothing more.
