    Re: Derealisation

    Hiya. Derealisation is a common side effect of anxiety, I've had it a lot this year so I feel for you. If we think about it, we spend such a lot of our time focused on what our body is doing i.e heart racing, muscles tense etc, that our immediate surroundings recede and start to feel unreal, as if we're in a dream. We've become so busy looking inwards.

    The best way to try and lessen its effects are to accept it. Just think to yourself 'oh its only the dreamy feeling, it will pass'. Another tactic I use is asking myself 'ok I'm feeling unreal, but does the feeling actually stop me from doing anything?' You're most likely to find that no, it doesn't stop you. Rest assured there is nothing wrong with your eyes or brain. Take care.
