Re: Feel so strange...
Hi Sugarplum001, I used to suffer from this really, really badly a few years ago to the point where I literally thought death would be the only way to escape it. What helped me get over this and anxiety in general was changing the way I thought about these feelings and sensations. Instead of fighting them as if they were my enemy I began to realise that my mind has been under extreme stress (real or perceived, it doesn't matter) and that my brain is trying it's best to deal with that prolonged pressure. It's working FOR me, to try and cope, to find a way out and to try and preserve me as best it can. That results in DP/DR sometimes and, while its probably the most horrific experience I've ever went through, its harmless. The best way to deal with it is to accept it into your life and work on dealing with the root causes of your anxiety. That's not easy to do but I'm living proof that it does fade away eventually x
