What is this? I've read about it and fear I suffer from it. I feel as though I am 'blank', or have lost my 'self'. Everyday I seem to move on instinct only, detached from emotion and even my train of thought. This all began some three months ago, after a period of severe stress, and it has only gotten worse as time went on. My psychiatrist says this is a side effect of extreme anxiety and panic disorder, and that treatment of anxiety will eliminate these horrific 'blank' feelings. Is it medically possible to lose your sense of self for good, as per the definition of the disorder? I'd appreciate an answer.
