Hello I am Chris
I have been suffering from anxiety for 12 months now, however I only realised I had anxiety 6 months ago when I became Derealised and Depersonalised. I have only had 5 panic attacks in total but since September last year I have been under the cloud of dp/dr.
I do believe I am coming through it as the dp/dr certainly isnt as strong and only seems to come along when I think about the condition. However a side effect of this symptom of anxiety does still give me distress. I still find myself analysing my actions to check if they seem real/normal, as when I am depersonalised or derealised it all seems fake and I dont really exist. Again this side effect does seem to be fading as there are longer periods before I notice I have not "checked" or thought about my condition.
I think the worst part of this condition is it is very very hard to convince yourself you are getting better.
All the best Chris
