SO tired & feel like im going mad is this really all anxiety??

[vitabelle]

hello

I really need some advice please.

I have been suffering from depersonalisation/derealisation for a while, I have been telling myself to accept it which has helped a little. but lately I feel like im going to forget things, people, words etc. Its so scary and I cant get it out of my head...which I know will just make it worse.

I just feel so low and like theres no hope :( I just want to have my life back.

I have also been going to sleep late because im scared and waking up in the night a lot, when this happens I look around and don't recognise where I am which is so horrible and will then just emphasize the fear of forgetting/losing my mind. this makes me scared I have something wrong with my brain and is not just anxiety.

I cant even follow a tv programme without being confused, is this through mental and physical exhaustion and anxiety? because its really scaring me :(

thanks for reading x

I could have written that post myself! It is all part of anxiety. I was on the phone to the doctors this morning to ask about a letter the doctor is writing for my work. I was getting all muddled up talking to them and couldn't remember what I had and hadn't said so was repeating myself. Luckily they are used to me by now :D

ohh so its not just me. its sooo horrible :( I feel like I have a massive cloud in my head blocking everything...I feel like I need to keep reminding myself about everything things im doing, people etc incase I forget it all. think maybe I need to try and get some more sleep then!
