Hi Janebee, here I am with my update as promised. Things are working for me now, feel much, much better in the last 5 days. Please go to anxietynomore.co.uk which is dedicated to people who recovered or are on their way to recovery from anxiety. I ordered a book from founder Paul Davis called At Last the Life and every single word from the book had a big impact on me, i am still in the middle of reading but already seeing a big difference, i am less afraid, many symptoms last shorter or simple disappear instantly! Let me know if you will try and how are you doing! x

Couldn’t put it better myself. You don’t need luck, just an understanding of anxiety and how it tricks the mind and body. The normal human reaction is to fight the invader but this is the wrong attitude for anxiety. It always upsets me when I read about people at the end of their tether because they have spent years battling against anxiety and depression when cure lies in giving up the battle and surrendering yourself completely to it.

Onwards and upwards.

I have been practising this lately, I have very bad intrusive and scary thoughts that I react too with a lot of fear or I fight the thoughts and try to not think about them, but just letting them pass and not fearing them is key. I just say to my self now oh silly thought you can pass through my head if you want, whatever. I also tell my self the only way you will get better is by letting the thoughts pass not fighting them.

Good luck!! I'm sure you will learn so much on this journey. I have also been surrendering to my anxiety and I have been able to cope so much better with my OCD depersonalisation and anxiety. I am far less depressed and have had some wonderful experiences over the past few weeks. I just accept my OCD anxiety and symptoms of dp. It's made a hell of a difference and finally I am getting my life back. Good luck!

Hi Mirato, thank you for your message, I am very happy that things have been working for you. I have a very good news too, in the last 5 days I do feel a big difference, it might not be pleasant but it is working, finally a hope after trying nearly everything. So there is no way back, i will embrace everything that comes, i am still in the middle of reading the book At Last The life by Paul David from anxietynomore.co.uk which is changing my life. Take care and keep enjoying your life.

That book saved my life from suicidal depression. Such an amazing helpful book for anyone with anxiety/depersonalisation. What he talks about is very simple yet so profound for those suffering with intense anxiety.

I am appreciating that more and more peace is entering my life. Although I know I may have a long way to go for full recovery. I believe it will definitely happen.

The main thing which causes me suffering is the depersonalisation/derealisation which is the main source of my anxiety. Constant mental chatter and racing thoughts, with anxious feelings for no reason, feeling very disconnected to my experience of reality and many other bizarre feelings and sensations which are hard to describe but can all be attributed to anxiety.

However, I have improved so much in the last few months and I know that if I allow my mind and body to heal, it will. It's been great, I've stopped searching for medication and other solutions to get rid of the anxiety and discomfort immediately. I know time will be a big factor in the healing process so I am being patient and allowing it to happen whilst trying to live my life as normally as possible.

Ab2009, please keep me updated on your progress. I hope all is well with you!
