New symptom?

[Chala555]

I know i posted yesterday saying everything is fine. Well i guess i have a new symptom. So now i believe that people including myself are just vessels with brains. Which is pretty much what we are but this is getting a bit scary and i dont know how to stop this way of thinking. Is this a symptom of depression or depersonaliztion disorder?

[Peacewithin1]

Yes I believe so. I think we all have pretty much the same symptoms. Whenever someone posts, I can always relate. I'm always thinking about our existence. You are not alone! Are you seeing a therapist at all?

No I've been trying to fight this on my own. Im trying to find my ground. In other words im trying to find find my purpose. I know it sounds silly.

Nooo it does not sound silly. Do You feel like once you overcome this you'll know your place on this Earth and maybe you can help people get through it also one day?

Yes i do believe that. Although theres days where i feel like ill never snap out of this nightmare but i have to stay positive.

I understand. I think you will still find your purpose if you talk with someone professional. In fact, A therapist may help you find your purpose. If you don't feel like you're making progress on your own... it's okay to ask for help. Anxiety will have you thinking it's a never ending discomfort but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We may not see it as soon as we want to see it but it will show! What exercises are you doing to help with handling the Anxiety?

You may be right. I've always been the type to not ask for help for anything. I dont do much to cope with it other than work and take long walks at the beach.

Well at least you're trying. I hope you start to feel better.

I feel like this at least 99.99% of the time. It's anxiety.
