    Hiya. Take a deep breathe. I can relate. What you might not know is derelization is a good thing it's a barrier our brains put up to protect us, I know how horrible it is though. Practice mindfulness and live in the moment.. If you feel like your fading away, listen to music, call a friend for a nice chat or even do something that makes you feel alive.. Take a nature walk. I know how it is when you can't do simple things without feeling weird but it's because you're thinking about it and panicking yourself. You're not fading away you are as much in this world as anybody else- see a doctor and maybe talk about therapy? No harm in talking to a professional as we can give our personal opinions on here but they are experts in this area.

    Hope I could help xx
