after 1 year and 2 months my doctor finally told me what the problem was. i found it hard to describe. i didn't feel living? as if i was living a dream and everything seemed strange and unreal, is there anyone else who has this? and knows how to control it

Here's a site I went to to understand derealization better. It was pretty good: calmclinic.com/anxiety/symp....

There's a test you can take and suggestions on what to do to stop the cycle of derealization. I'm sure other sites are good as well.

I had this for a little while until the Tranxene/clorazepate kicked in for me. It's pretty strange, but then so is anxiety.

i'm living in oman and the treatment is unavailable as i'm moving back to the u.k. in 5 months, it's your eyes adjusting the 'threat' that makes you think everything looks unreal, i feel detached from my body at times i don't feel myself which is the worst, i've delt with bad anxiety before but this is a new level for me. nothing is blurry or such, it's just looking at things in a different way that is scary, it's almost the same view that you get in a dream.
