I feel tired.

[LeX_BrI2015]

I just feel like giving up, I'm on another new therapist who I meet on Thursday. I feel like no one understands my symptoms, I just need someone who understands me. I feel like I'm crazy. I have anxiety, panic disorder and depersonalization/derealization disorder. I just found out there's no real way to fix depersonalization/derealization disorder, but that therapy can help, that honestly kills me. Like I feel like I'm not even normal. I just want to give up because I feel like I will never live a normal life. I guess this is just more of a rant. 😞

How long did it take you to be okay.?

[Alan_98 in reply to LeX_BrI2015]

It took weeks to be honest

LeX_Br12015, I know how you feel but don't give up please. Finding the right therapist is what will make you be able to move forward in getting well. Someone you can connect with, who will be there for you and understand what you are going through. I went through my share of therapists until I found one who I knew would always be there for me. Since therapy is such an important part getting better you need to stay positive. You will live a normal life again. Until you do, we are here for you. x

I hope this new therapist is the right one, I meet him/her on Thursday,, my last therapist was just worried about getting me out of there and never talked to me or listened to my issues. I need like long term therapy.

Good Luck on Thursday. x

I went through depersonalization when no one knew enough to give it a name. I knew it was happening but not what to do about it. I felt too sick to do much about it anyway. As my meds kicked in and the weeks went by I gradually improved and I started to normalize. Don't give up because it can get better!! Just give yourself some time. You didn't get sick in a day and you won't recover in a day, either. But you can recover if you give yourself time. Being tired is okay. This is exhausting work. And it's all new to you. Be kind to yourself. We're here to remind you of that. Lean on us.

I deal with the EXACT same thing. Most days I feel like I'm going to go insane. I become so tired of having to constantly deal with being scared and feeling like I'm not really there. It's so scary, but you are not alone. I always feel that no one else understands what I feel, but the more ice dealt with it, the more I see other people deal with the same thing. Personal message me if you need any more info on what I go through. Always here to help.

Thank you, so much, it is so much better knowing there's people out there that feel the same

The only therapy that works for you is yoga along with meditation

You are not going crazy but welcome to the "new normal." It will get better. I have been dealing with depersonalization for a few years. The more you concentrate on how you feel the more you become aware that you are not feeling normal. I will be glad when they find out what causes this disorder of thinking. My therapist thinks it's from anxiety...and I've had plenty of that. However, we must continue to live our lives focusing on the fact that we are not crazy and will not go crazy from this problem. Hope you feel better soon. I am a Christian so praying, reading the bible, and attending church services and activities really helps.

That is literally my life, I just have fear all day and I'm ALWAYS afraid I'm going to die, like nothing helps. I hate even leaving my house, I haven't had a job for two years now because of how bad it is. I'm just now about to start working again and I'm honestly hoping I can even handle it. I get told it will get better, I just wish someone could tell me when. I feel your pain. 😞
