Another day, another trip to the ER.

12 Replies

On my way there now. I bet they can't wait to see me again lol. This time it's hot and cold flashes, strange emotions, feeling like im going to pass out, feeling like im going to lose control of my bowels or bladder (yikes, hoping this one doesnt happen), and terrible petrifying derealization and dizziness. I just can't cope with it myself.

I have been there twice in the past few months. I know they don’t like seeing me, but hey you are reaching out, right?

Wish you a speedy recovery. One thing that helped me was to tell myself that the feelings are just tricks of my mind- feelings are false a lot and to stop the cycle in its tracks as fast as you can.

Hope this helps.

So sorry :( how long is it lasting?

I can relate to the depersonaliation. Ive had it for so long but for some reason it never made me anxious. it was however brought upon by chronic anxiety. Some thigs that might help with this are

1. Grounding - using your senses to ground yourself int he moment

2. exersise- but really feel your body while doing so (technacly grounding)

3. For the anxiety you experience try mindfullness

4. Anecdotally i try to remember a time when i felt normal to give me hope

Okay.... earlier this year, I went so often that I started trying to hold off until later in the day so that hopefully the same people wouldn't be there. Because, you know, it's great to expose yourself as a sobbing hypochondriac to the largest audience possible. :-) Hope this makes you not feel so nuts. You aren't.

Are you on regular medication?

I get the hot then cold flushes and on and out of bathroom for a pee, I feel nausea and start gagging which hurts my stomach, burning skin sensations and shaky. I hate this anxiety. Yesterday I went out to see some friends first time in a long while. Had a complete meltdown when I or home been feeling weak tired and sick ever since. Been to a and e myself had blood tests ecgs and all came back ok. It’s so exhausting and having trouble sleeping which isn’t helping at all. I can relate to what you’re feeling. x
