Does it come and go? Had it constantly for a couple months then it went away for a couple of weeks and now its back.. Really makes me feel like crap and just want to sleep, if I'm home and its dark i feel more like myself. i know its part of anxiety but idk why it would keep happening. i do have alot going on in my life right now with my first kid on its way, but im not stressed or overwhelmed.. Im currently on 100mg of zoloft and have been on it for around a year

    when you have anxiety or a lot going on, depersonalization can come and go. Just keep in mind that it’s not harmful it’s just a weird feeling. Basically it’s your brain trying to protect you from too much stress so it tries to block things out. So the best thing you can do is make it a habit of relaxing your mind as much as you can. You can find so many great breathing exercises on YouTube for anxiety. You could also find great meditations for anxiety that really relax your whole body in mind. it can only take as little as 10 minutes.

    i just know that we have to take one day at a time and do what we can to relax such as going for a walk, staying hydrated is important, finding time for laughter and being with important people in your life.

    I am way older than you and I know one thing I learned is that life really does fly by and it’s important to appreciate the little things and not fret about other things That don’t really matter.

    Everything will fall into place.

    also just a bit of advice about the new baby. The beginning is a time of adjustment and it takes a little while for things to fall into place. Just take one day at a time and go with the flow and everything will be OK.

    Also, enjoy every minute that you have watching the baby growing up. many people have such regrets of not spending time with their child and suddenly they are grown and gone. I took in every chance I got to enjoy them, play with them, teach them, laughter etc.

    the bond between a father and his child is so very special.

    so many people don’t spend enough time with their children .

    Some of them spend more time with their cell phones than their children. very sad.

    One day your child will look back and be so grateful that he or she has a father like you. A father that was involved with his child and spent quality time with him or her.❤
