Derealization & Depersonalization

I think i know what you are talking about. I experienced this right after a chain of nasty panic attacks. The feeling where your not there and like your watching yourself in a camera... like your "out of sync" with reality??? I read up on this after searching for months...Something is not getting to something fast enough in the brain lol so detailed right.. WELL ANYWAYS

HOW I BEAT IT!

First off, you have to quit checking in on yourself to see if "its happening".

Its the checking in that pretty much causes the derealization

Tell yourself its going to be ok

say " i am ok, everything is going to be fine"(HELPED ALOT)

talk to yourself....

Have a list of things to do for the day dont sit around... keep your mind focused on other things..

also playing a song that is of great memory to you will help greatly!

 

I was 14 when I 'froze' in my sleep...or as the Doc called it, sleep paralysis. It scared me terribly, that was 21 years ago. I have never felt 'normal' again since. Depersonalization and derealization...I think I have suffered with the derealization the most, sadly I have managed to cope with these 'feelings' and still am looking for answers. I have carried on a normal life, raised 3 kids went to college and work. It's the derealization that is bothersome! I also have suffered from panic attacks and all the phobias that come with it. Wow, why me....why anyone? I pray and hope that one day some day I could feel normal again and everyone else out there who's going through this. Thanks for reading my post!
