I feel your pain. I been dealing with derealization for 6 weeks now and my doctor reassurances me is from anxiety and panic so once we take care of that I will be back to normal but it's hard to believe. I wake up every day feeling hopefulness but I do funfion well. And by that I mean I am able to take my kids to school, drive, and stuff... all while battle my brain. It's hard. I been on Zoloft for 32 days and I haven't seen any major improvements. Do you take anything?

i took antidepressant before but now i got pregnant and my doctor told me i have to stop it for the baby so im living like that with my derealization i just want to wake up from that terrible dream and live my life normaly but im happy to talk with someone who live the same thing because no one can understand that even the doctor cant because u have to live it to understand it

Anxiety is so horrible and I've suffered long enough and had to tell myself this is ruining my life, all I wanted to be was normal like everyone else,so I did it,I got in my car and drove,I was that proud of myself I started doing other things I couldn't,it felt weird at first but the more I did it the more normal I became,now I get in my car and don't think about my anxiety,I can do normal things again and it feels great
