Hi guys,
I hope everyones ok.
Ok so I have had a tough time of it for the last month or so, I start on Citalopram and suffered badly from side effects. Oh my gosh they were terrible, they made me feel like I was going mad, I hve since been taken off of them because they just didnt suit me at all.
Touch wood all the physical symptoms have sort of gone now and my body feels ok.
The one symptom that has stuck around is the derealisation. I feel relativly normal most of the time and then all of a sudden I have this sense of everything looks a bit odd, like the world is going to hit me in the face any minute. I have sudden thoughts like "oh my gosh Im real, Im actually here on earth all this is real". I get sudden feelings of dread in my chest and then it pass's but I find that I am thinking about it a lot of the time.
I know that I have to distract myself and I am trying so hard but it just wont go away. Even when I am not panicking its there in the back of my mind, What can I do to get rid of this.
I get scared all of a sudden that I am just going to lose control and go so far into my own thoughts I wont be able to come back. That I will be completely lost in my own mind and go crazy. Its a scary thought and I cant seem to get past it.
Touch wood all my physical symptoms have sort of gone and I havent had a full on panic attack for quite a while now.
I want to be back to normal, back to what I was 2 months ago and I sort of am apart from this.
I just wanted to ask for others opinions, will this ever go away? Will I feel back to normal ever again?
Thank you in advance for any replies.
