I have panic disorder...And I have felt detached from Reality for 3 months now...And It feels like its getting worse...Life feels like its draining out...And I'm terrified of this...I had 3 panic attacks this week alone...bet I'll have one tonight...

Everything to me feels like a dream, like its fake and I'm half alive...
My thoughts are confusing...Theres really not that line between mind and reality anymore ...My thoughts feel really life like and everything in my Head is just weird...

I feel like I'm going insane...And theres no such thing as life or Reality for me anymore...I dont feel like I'm in my body...Or head Idk... When I talk It sounds like I'm listening to someone else talk...

( does he take medication?) no...I dont I got it prescribed though...Klonopin .25 mg 2x a day .5 and night ...and Prozac 10mg in the morning...But I dont take it cause I'm too afraid to...I'm afraid of side effects and messing up my reality evenmore...especially Prozac...I tried Klonopin 4 times and just made me feel like a happy Drunk for 4 hours...

Idk I need help, I'm starting to give up.

Find some time when you can be quiet with your fear. Try to manage the fear and still stay connected. And quiet.

I have the exact same problem.....I linger in a daydreamy world..full of exagerations and embellishments....when someone addresses me its like do i really matter...are they letting me out of my own private world into the real one...its scary.... a lot is scary...maybe the 2 of us can talk more about this.....what helps for me is hearing songs where this sentiment is expressed...

Hi there,

I know exactly what you are saying.. the way you have described it is pretty much exactly how I described it, although its so hard when you are in it to describe it.

I can pinpoint exactly when it started happening to me, where I was, what i was doing.. and it scared the s**t out of me.. and it continued on for about 2 months, and then it slowely went away each day, I have had it since, but it lasts for a few days now, then passes.. I don't know exactly what it is, psychiatrist told me it was part of anxiety... but it is scary, I know exactly where you are coming from, its like a fog and you want to shake your head to make it go away..

Hope you start to feel better, take care,

Kel xx

I used to get anxiety and panic attacks sporatically around age 15-16 but then it went away (for the most part) so i never bothered getting diagnosed.
about a week ago i started feeling EXACTLY the same as you (23 now). ive been trying to explain how i felt to my increasingly frustrated boyfriend so your post is really helping. but ive also felt really nauseous and completely lost my appetite, do you feel the same? i seem to have to force myself to eat every day now and most of the time i feel like i cant swallow it anyway.

Non- Maybe they need to put you on a lesser dosage of the klonopin. And maybe you can take it like every 4 hours then so when it starts to where off you wouldn't have to suffer.Idk...definitely....if you need to talk you know I am here for you...talk away! I hope it is getting better for you though by now but if not please try and see someone about it and keep trying until you do feel better!

Luv Ya,
Hopes
