    Thanks, describes it pretty well.
    I actually didn't feel too panicked until that feeling came on so intensely.

    This derealisation stuff is kicking my arse. Is there anything I can do to help it pass?

    I'm just about to have a shower and go for a run to see if it helps.

    I honestly think I'm losing my mind, and am trying to figure out the best way to get more help for myself.

    I have been on the NHS waiting list since February. Just called to see how long it would be before I could get help, and the response was 'there's a big wait', that's it.
    I'm crippled by anxiety, I'm getting more and more depressed and hopeless and have no idea what to do to help myself any more. I've tried so hard at everything, and I'm getting worse every day. I can't take this much longer, every day is vile, and I'm scared of where this is heading.

    Re: Increase in anxiety/panic, when I try to relax!

    Just had my session with my psychologist, had a panic attack explaining how everything doesn't feel real, and how I'm starting to not believe things aren't real. Is it normal to actually question the nature of reality during derealisation, and believe it?
    She didn't explain it very well, and told me to rationalise it, but you can't rationalise it, because no one knows.

    This is destroying me, I think I'm losing my mind.

    Any advice about derealisation, and especially it leading to genuinely questioning the nature of reality, would be greatly appreciated, as I can't go on like this much longer.

    You say you can't continue like this. What's going to happen if you do?

    I don't know, as I don't really understand what's happening to me. It's getting worse though, every day. I'm losing myself more and more as time goes on. I won't be able to carry on like this much longer.

    What will happen if you don't carry on?

    I don't know, and it's not worth thinking about. I'm trying to find myself more help before it reaches any breaking point, but don't know where to turn.

    I have my psychologist tomorrow, but she isn't helping.
