Hi guys,
I recently went on holiday with my parents to spain, and it was quite amazing, for the most part i felt very normal, my derealisation went away and apart from the odd moment i barely thought about it, obviously i was very happy.
But of course when i got home (mainly today) it has come right back, i went to the bank to pay some bills, walked back to my car and hey guess what it's back. This symptom is very depressing for me, it has made me think ill never have a normal life and i cant do things that others can, although i still do all the things i did before my anxiety started so i don't know where this thought has come from.
I've read some articles online about it and people say that ignoring it is the best way to approach it but i just can't! It's been happening on and off for 6 months and i find the whole experience very distressing.
My GP recommended CBT, i waited until after my holiday to make a decision, but it seems like my only option now, i need help coping with this. I feel that i'll always be scared of this.
I was wondering if anyone had any success stories about getting rid of this horrible symptom and what methods were used. Would really appreciate other peoples experience with this and anyone who can offer any reassurance :weep:
Thanks
Andy
