hey everyone,
I have posted in the anxiety area a bit but wanted to put a post here so that hopefully someone can tell me whether what I am experiencing is disassociation or depersonalization....
I had a stress reaction resulting from having my first panic attack when i was on a jury a month ago. Since then I have been seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist and am on anti depressents for the anxiety part of it....
But over the past week or so, I have been feeling so out of it... Like I am living my life but not really... it's so hard to explain... Everything scares me and it's like I am constantly triggering the thoughts that I am crazy and I feel so foggy which makes me really anxious all the time.
Over the past few days, the feelings have not left me at all.... I still logically know who I am and what I am doing, but I feel like I am in a dream all the time, and I keep getting really upset thinking that I can't live like this, and I will never be the same again (before the first panic attack, I had never had any experience like this before. I don't take drugs or drink either).
So I was just wondering if anyone knows whether this would still be part of the anxiety and stress reaction I am experiencing. I have been told that what I am going through is temporary and will stop but I am not convinced!!
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
Kel
