That is the feeling like your going crazy right? Have to double check lol
It's by far one of the worst symptoms to deal, if I focus on it, or let it scare me I can get stuck in this awful cycle of fear.
I had it bad a few months ago and sadly it took weeks for that horrible constant feeling of going crazy to wear off.
I have tried describing it so many times but it's hard.
It's like a detached feeling, like everything has some how suddenly changed, I'm consumed by this odd feeling of fear or unsettlement. My thoughts seem different or feels like I am hearing them or noticing them in a different way.
An extreme example is when I am having a migraine, as depersonalization is very common with migraines, Everything looks and feels different, when I speak it's not my voice I hear, it's like listening to a recording of my voice being played back to me.
What helps me is to just accept it, don't fight it, don't over think it, focus on things outside of yourself, listen to music, interact with people, watch a comedy to bring back your emotions, get enough sleep.
All you need to do is breathe and everything will be ok x :)
