Question:
Can anyone tell me if there familiar with the feeling of depersonalization and derealization...where everything and everyone around you don't seem real anymore.....where you go on questionning the world, your existence ect...A very scary feeling. A constant sense of fear...like the world is ending.
If anybody can relate please do write.
I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you for reading
Hugs,
Daniela
Answer:
Hi Daniela-
I can totally relate. Sometimes it is as if I am in a glass or plastic bubble, and I can't get through to anyone, nor can anyone get through to me. It's like I exist (or do I?) in a different form then anyone else. Sometimes it helps to stimulate the senses, like squeezing an ice cube. Some people say they get that feeling from being on line so be careful!!! I wish I had more real advice to give you besides squeezing a dumb ice cube, but just please know that you are far from alone.
Questions, just ask.

I feel so relieved to hear that there are other people as well as me with this strange and scary feeling, it is nice to know that i am not alone. I use to have this feeling when i was younger but it came and went it never bothered me really, but four months ago i had an anxiety attack at work it was really scary, i had tingling in my arms i was very faint and i could not talk i slurred i thought i had a stroke, but my dr told me i had a anxiety attack. Ever since then i am living the nightmare i am not real i can hear people talking to me and i answer them they know that i am there but i dont, if i think about it a lot it makes me feel really weired. I have had trouble at home taking everyones troubles on board and trying to make them better, my dad had a second stroke which really made me bad everything just happened all at once and when i think back my brain was bombarded with traumatic things, perhaps we have all had a lot of things on our minds which has swamped us leaving us no space to think freely, I am trying so hard to find the cause, my job doesnt help, i am in the public fireing line, so in process of illimination i have give in my notice i will let you know if the feeling goes a little beter i just hope so, whatever i come across to make the feelings go away if just for a little while i will let you know, it would be nice to have a break from this, at least we are not alone

Answer:
using smelling salts or squeezing keys in hand and thinking about the pain helps soemtimes
relaxation and reducing stress helps
