Depersonalization and derealization?

[1994smilelove]

Has anyone ever had this?i think ive got it bc sometimes i feel like im not in my own body,my body kinda feels numb,which makes it worse.and i cant focus,im always zoned out and my minds always racing so i feel like im not all there.i really dont know how to explain it.maybe i really am just going crazy?

You're not going crazy, you're just anxious. Anxiety will make you feel these things. Have you seen a Dr. about your anxiety? You probably need anti-anxiety medication to manage these symptoms and counseling to learn why you're having them and how to cope with them and especially how to reduce them.

Yes had this and it does make you think you are going crazy but it's jusr a symptom of anxiety

However bad you feel you can get better and it will go

Relaxation techniques will help you so much and exercise anything that helps you feel calm

When I had it it felt like I was looking at myself it wasn't me

The DARE Response by Barry McDonagh or Dr Claire Weekes books are very good

Good luck

I agree with Bonnie Sue. I went through the same and am back on meds for it.
