I could write a book on this subject, but I'd rather not try for fear of making it worse. Today I experienced fear of dying and what's after it; dissociation, not sure if any was depersonalization. But my fiance has been over the last few days and i know she's in the room with me, but there are times when I feel so dissociated. I had an anxiety attack in the car with her 3 weeks ago and it scared the heck out of her. She has fears of death as well and the meaning of life, but she's never taken meds for it. I have been with her for over seven months and i often fear she'll leave me. She has done nothing to make me fear this except ask for space from time to time. Right now I fear I am getting worse and may need different meds. I am on a small dose of triavil, and diazepam when needed. I also take natural suppliments. I hope some of this helped

Wow. I have felt like that for a long time, and it's a little reassuring to hear that other people feel that way, too. I hate the depersonalization feelings. I get caught up in them. It's like I'm watching myself from outside. I get this dizzy feeling, and I have to do something to bring myself back to my body. I spoke to a doctor about this years ago, and he said to try to explore the feelings when they were happening, instead of trying to get back to reality immediately. I've tried to do that, but it doesn't really seem to do much for me. It's a scary experience and my first reaction (once I've tortured myself with those thoughts for long enough) is to distract myself until I feel better!

I often wonder if I am going crazy. I will just suddenly, without trigger, think, "is this what it feels like to "go crazy"?" My favorite line is: "Crazy people don't know that they are crazy" That always makes me feel better. I find that anxiety sufferers are usually very intelligent, too. Brains are capable of more thinking than they can emotionally handle. We all probably have very high IQs. AP

Mine has become very OCD like... Where I'll be fine and then a thought will cross my mind like.. Oh ! Im not myself or don't feel like me, or IM not real! THen I will answer the obsession with going through like a list of what I know.. for instance I might say.. I know my moms maiden name, my social security number any thing I can do to disproove the obsessive thought. It is totally nutty... I am congnitive, I can think , I can do my work, but it is very scarry this thought... I don't know if I am explaining it so everyone can understand and I know how weird it sounds, so I hope Im not crazy already.... This constant need to reassure myself..... I don't know.. I just wish I could wake up and I was back to normal like I used to be....

I know how mine started. First I had a panic attack and then I started reading about panic symptoms. One of the symptoms is depersonalization and derealization. I think that is what we are experiencing. Well to make things worse. I typed those words into google and started reading. I would advise you not to do that. When I started reading about it, it made me more anxious which made my symptoms worse. It has taken me awhile to get over this. I do know that anxiety feeds it. Hope you feel better.

Yes exactly.. I have even gone as far as making sure I knew like my Moms Name, My address, my birthday, my kids birthday etc....just to reassure myself,, I make like a mental list... and they say I am not crazy..it is just anxiety.. I don't know how it started but it is no fun Thanks for answering I know I am not alone anyway.

I also wanted to add that I too feel like I have lost my sense of self. I feel like I don't know who I am anymore. It can be really scary. Sometimes I feel like I am going to forget everyone that is important to me. Wow, writing that made me a little anxious. Go figure. Do you ever feel that way?
