depersonalization and anxiety

Hi :unsure:

After being a few years clear of this "thing" it seem to have back with a vengeance it all started when i got covid two weeks ago. It started with not wanting to go out and the always checking my oxygen readings with my oxi meter. Then a few days later I just felt completely detached from my surroundings like its odd to describe i feel like im not here but i am here i feel spaced out all the time but not when im at home home is like my comfort zone its so odd. I always feel like im going to die but my oxygen is always a good 97-100. I just need to see if anyone else suffers with depersonalization and what their symptoms are.

thank you for reading :)

Hi there I like you am suffering with anxiety and depersonalization. I have had anxiety on and of for over thirty years I am currently going through a tough patch. What i find when i have dep symptoms is the more you fight the feelings (ie) trying to force them away the stronger they feel . what helps me is accepting them and try and pay them little attention this is difficult I know . But I have had them before and know they will eventually go away be it a day a week a month they will fade and become insignificant Dont put a time scale on them they will eventually fade .accept them for what they are an unfamiliar feeling and sensation . Remember there is always light at the end of a tunnel.

torally agree with the above, let it be there, don’t feed it. Just go about your day. Eventually you will give your mind the rest it truly needs and you will thank yourself for it. I had DP/DR for 2 month and it was awful. However when I accepted it, it faded. This too shall pass.

This is basically how I feel about it - I've been suffering lately and when I fight my mind, it fights me back so I accept it and allow it to pass.
