How do you convince yourself it is just anxiety?
Posted , 11 users are following.
Have posted on here before about the symptoms i have constant Depersonalisation, Derealisation, panicky feeling, constant obsessive thoughts that are there all day and wake me up at night and make me panic. The worse part is feeling like nothing is real and I am stuck inside me own head if that makes sense. Anyway yesterday I went to see a shrink again and they still saying that it all is Anxiety and a bit of Depression. I still keep questioning this and thinking no am going to go mad,have a stroke,got a brain tumour etc etc. How do you convince yourself that it is just Anxiety when deep down you don't believe it. Be grateful for anyones help on this.
Thanks

You have to get to the root of the problem, when did this start? and was there an original health problem that caused similar symptoms which has since been cured but the fear hasnt gone away.
Do you drink alcohol or maybe take drugs? to many pain killers or other precribed drugs etc
If its not medical you might want to takeup activities that will take your mind away from these nasty thoughts and fears.
Maybe even a full time job if you dont wark already or a change of job.
We all get into a routing and your routing right now revolves around your thoughts.
Ive been there and got over it by changing my life style.
It wont happen over night and wont be easy.

Many years ago I tried to define dp/dr to a doctor. In those days not much attention was paid to it, in fact it was only within the last, say, 12-14 years that I found that it is recognised. I used to describe it as feeling as though i was "fading away", not being real, and with the sensation of patterned wallpaper on walls (lol) was closing in on me, or buildings sometimes seemed overpowering or large. Sometimes even my body could feel large, small, short, tall. Again lol! I am not mad/insane/claustrophobic, in fact I had a good education and have always had a responsible job. Hallelujah! Maybe these few words may identify with your own feelings. Hope so! Good Luck.
