not feeling real

I feel the same way

I saw this video of an anxiety coach on YouTube saying that if you feel like you’re going insane most likely means you’re not because of you actually were insane you wouldn’t think like that his videos have good advice and relatable. His channel is Trey Jones

That's how my panic attacks feel too.

I feel the same.. unreal.. only difference is I can't feel real anymore.. I have to be unreal for pleasing my family to meet the societal expectations!

Genuine advise? Well.. first go see a psychiatrist. Get some tests done. Check your thyroid, blood sugar levels. And what could really help is doing yoga regularly. Yoga is extremely helpful when it comes to anxeity and depression. I've been dealing with my clinical depression and anxeity all my life. A mild SSRI (antidepressants) along with yoga and meditation can do wonders for you. And try box breathing. Go to YouTube and see videos on box breathing. It really helps with panic attacks. I also have severe anxeity. All my life I've forced to be in situations which also made it worse or extremely hard to deal it. Don't think much on that rather focus on the things which can manage to balance it. We'll all get through this together. Ping me if you wanna talk about it.

I feel you. For me the derealization is kind of a defense mechanism when my anxiety is at its worst, it's like I'm trying to protect myself from experiencing things in my body, but of course I want it gone. That's just my theory though. Have you noticed any kind of special situation when it happens for you, or is it all the time?

I desensitize when I’ve reached my limit and can’t remove myself from a situation. (Like at work) it’s an odd feeling but I do think it’s a form of self protection.

I kinda feel like this way . Like I have soo much running through my head that I can't control the thoughts and I'm just overwhelmed.

Definitely can relate to this feeling. Not so much that I feel unreal, just that I don’t fit in. If I’m experiencing a panic attack usually in a large social setting like a party, I feel overwhelmed, paralyzed by my own thoughts, it’s even difficult to hear people clearly, and think clearly, my mind just races out of control and I freeze up. I go from being completely normal even outgoing at the beginning of a party to a total recluse I hate it so much.

I often feel this way too. Like I’m completely detached from myself. It is definitely when my anxiety is so high I fear if I actually feel it and go through it that I will die. Even though I know that’s not true. It’s such a weird feeling and it is so hard to break out of it but I do try to recognize when it’s happening and what is triggering it and I look for ways that I can change it.
