Yup! It's all part of it! I get randomly and it can last a few days or a few hours. The good news is that it does go and remember you're not going mad even though it feels like it. People with severe mental health disorders such as psychosis don't realise that they are in a state of psychosis, so the very fact that you're thinking you're mad is a sign that you're not!

Just remember Depersonalisation is a sympton of anxiety, not an illness itself!

Hi Elvin,
I suffered from it really badly last year and I seriously thought that I was going mad which turned into obsessive thinking and so on... it's horrible but is a symptom...

[elvin]

how did you get rid of it ive had it for 2 years now

As its only a sympton and not an illness itself, its not something you can just rid yourself of... if your suffering extreme anxiety, it will linger... have you been to gp?
