I feel like my hands arent connected to my body!

[hannah26]

Hello, My derealisation has been quite intense today! I have been feeling my arms and hands are not part of my body, I'm scared that I am going to forget how to move them.
Its just so scary, I'm trying so hard to get over this but it always seems to be there. I feel like I will never be normal again!!
Sorry to moan,

I have this all the time, worse just before my migraines! It's an anxiety symptom and all you have to do is take your mind off it. It's not a debilitating disease...Okay, well it is debilitating in another way but ignoring it helps. You have to accept it! It worsens if you acknowledge it!

You never will lose functions, although it strikes you as odd to be able to see your limbs move like they are out of your control. I hear CBT is helpful. Meds, from experience, only worsen the condition.

I remember having a feeling similar to this when I was walking to work one day a few years ago. I remember thinking "Am I really controlling my legs?" It was such a weird feeling.
