Hello,

I have suffered from this for a few weeks. I thought it would never end, but last night it kinda lifted. I know it is a really horrible feeling, but the trick is to try and accept it and relax into it, if you do this the whole feeling will fade quicker.

Trust me there is nothing to worry about, your not going mad or anything like that, it is just a feeling. Try to relax and keep your mind busy with an activity. Check out the anxiety symptoms section on this website, there is a section for DP and it explains a bit about it.

Since I had it, I spoke to a fair few people and loads of people have had this feeling at some point for varying lengths of time. It really is nothing to worry about, I cant stress that enough. It hasn't hurt me or anyone else I know who has had it.

The best advice I can give is just relax. I deal with it by playing video games.

Message me if you like, but I am at work so cant answer immediately.
