Ok, be rational. I know I'm suffering from anxiety. Probably GAD + DP.
But today was a rough one. Woke up after a poor nights sleep (due to baby feeding etc). Felt dizzy. This progressed into depersonalisation. Then we had family around and I kept trying to make excuses to leave the room (make a cuppa, go to the bathrom etc). It was then commented that I was quiet pushing the focus on to me which is the last thing I wanted. Taking all my focus to hold a conversation where the DP felt its strongest. I needn't explain what that is like, Im sure you know. Then the headaches started and my thoughts of brain tumor or was this the final episode where I lose it all together.
Eventually people left, I had some nurofen and went for a walk with the kids. That helped things though the DP remains but not as bad. The dizzy flashes are still on and off (thats like a momentary 1 second pulse through my brain/head that makes me feel dizzy for a split second).
But, all this time I keep telling myself its just the anxiety. Not been to the docs about it yet, next week I thnk. :)
