Is it normal in DP/ dr to feel like people are aliens? I swear I'm crazy! I feel so detached and im really freaking out!

Hiyer,

Read the link that was posted above, it does help (the bit about going crazy).

It doesn't list every single possible wierd thought or worry e.g. people are aliens, because there are so many for every individual, but it does talk about your over stimulated nervous system and why these irrational fears and thoughts happen.

Honestly, Pancliss, it is the same old thing....nothing new....'just' the anxiety and fear. You are frightening yourself constantly. You don't just have Depersonalisation, you have most of the symptoms on that list at the moment, including invasive thoughts, so no wonder you are feeling so awful.

(got your pm, but have replied here as saw the thread first)

Now, best thing to do is to occupy yourself, not sit there are think any longer. I know this is easier said than done, but please try.

:D

Did you feel like the world was weird? !!!!

[Greenman50]

As Cary has said :D

Yes everything felt weird , like i wasn,t real anymore and i felt like i was in a bubble and everyone else was on the outside

[Paniclissx]

But did you question how you got here !? And how the world was created? And how everything's weird? I swear I've lost it, I need sectioning but even that freaks me out because no one will help me because nothing feels real c

[Carys]

Yes, I did, question all the things you've said...and I know there are others on here right now going through the same. I have read threads in the last few months that say the same as yours.

You won't be sectioned Panicliss, because you don't need to be. If you were to attend any sort of assessment you would be diagnosed with the same as you already have been by your doctor. It feels that way, but you aren't. Have you read the links above, on this site, about 'thinking you are crazy' ?

YOU ARE NOT GOING MAD, but it is a maddening state to be in. Believe me, I've been there a few times.
