Hi Anna hope your ok. Yeah it's horrible I suffer really badly with obsessive thoughts aswell so that does not help. All day today constantly is "I don't feel like me anymore" it's so weird to try and explain :(

I was feeling poorly this morning, 5 minutes after waking up, I started having panic attacks, so I took another sedative. :( Do you suffer from OCD then, Ian?

[ian6989]

I do yes :( everyone keeps telling me to do things but I just can't when I feel like someone else and not me :(

Yeah, I know doing things isn't something you want to do. Does your depersonalisation become worse when you do things, when you're are with other people, or when you're on your own? If you could monitor the intensity of it and when and how it fluctuates, you might notice a pattern, and with some luck, identify the triggers.

i don't have a clue anna. its just constantly. i haven't really noticed any triggers :(
i think its coz i cant stop thinking about it. its just lodged in my head :(

Thinking about it makes it worse, yeah. Once your attention has been taken away from it a little, you'll gain some clarity, I'm sure. Please try and keep forcing yourself to go out and to do things, to lead as 'normal' life as possible. That's the key.
