Depersonlization HELP !?!?!

Does anyone on here have depersonalization and want to chat?
I have had it for 7 months and now I am worrying it is a brain tumor causing the symptoms....
I need reassurance.

BH,

I too have had D/P D/R as a transient anxiety symptom. Difficult as it may be at first, practicing acceptance of the feelings is key in seeing them lose their power We have links with information and coping suggestions in our Resources at the top of the main forum page...be sure to have a look.

Bhorvat,

Are you taking any medication for anxiety at the moment? Sometimes medications themselves can cause depersonalization even though they’re meant to help.

I know it’s hard to even begin to understand how anxiety can manifest in ways such as this, but DP is not a stand alone condition. It literally could not survive without anxiety, and it’s said that once the underlying anxiety is treated (whichever method is best for you( then the DP fades away. Distraction is always a great method to help alleviate the feelings of discomfort associated with depersonalization. Exercise, reading, playing a game, etc.
