Depersonalisation is your mind trying to be helpful but not being helpful. Your mind senses that you are anxious and seeks to protect you from the presumed danger by removing you from the scene. It can't do this physically so it gives you the feeling that you have been distanced from the threat.

So in other words it's just another symptom of anxiety disorder and you treat it like all the othet symptoms.

Don't fight it, accept it for the moment. Fighting just causes more stress and tension and makes your nervous system worse.

Don't add second fear to first fear, too much fear hormone makes your nervous system worse.

Don't stress and obsess about it, adding stress hormones to already over sensitised nerves only makes matters worse.

If you can accept depersonalisation fearlessly without stressing and obsessing then do no nothing more. You have created the circumstances in which your over sensitive nerves can get on with healing themselves which they are well able to do.

I had this 40 years ago and still get flashes of it, I did yesterday, but I attach no importance to it, I accept it for the moment, I do not dwell on it, and next time I remember it the feeling has dispersed. There was no name for it 40 years ago, I used to describe it as "feeling as if I'm not here" or like watching everything on television.

Refusetolose, you are in no danger, you will recover from this, the less you fear it, the less you fight it, the sooner it will disperse.

Unfortunately it’s almost an everyday thing for me . Thank your for your response it’s very helpful .

As a symptom of anxiety disorder it will clear when your anxiety disorder resolves. As always, best to concentrate on the cause rather than the symptoms. Anxiety disorder can be overcome by the acceptance method first described by Claire Weekes many years ago, I think you would find lustening to her on YouTube very helpful.
