Has anyone felt it affect their vision? Like things seem farther away or closer? Very frightening. Any advice? Anxiety has been so high as of late idk why.
Yes, I feel like I really have to sit with this one and let it pass. It was very very frightening at first but once I learned to not be afraid of it it got better.
Yes. I get derealization and depersonalization. Derealization seems like things are farther/closer or bigger/smaller. It's a scary experience! Derealization is triggered by trauma or severe anxiety/stress. Your brain uses derealization as a coping mechanism to prevent you from whatever your subconscious is trying to suppress. For really bad and long episodes I take benzos. HOWEVER, I do NOT recommend them because they are extremely addictive and that's a whole new problem to have. For mild and short episodes, I use grounding exercises that focus me on the present.
Yeah i disconnect from life a lot lol if it bothers me i remind myself that its temporary. It does suck that itll get between my work bc its harder to listen and process things people tell me đ if thats the case ill be honest about what im going through and ill be given a break to ground myself thankfully. Ik there are people in workplaces that do not care about your mental wellbeing so im grateful i didnt have that experience at my previous employer.
Yeah I've been there. Happened at the theater last night during cocaine bear. Kinda rough but it passed and I felt better after
So something that kinda pops up with my anxiety is about a year or so ago i ate an edible gummy after not doing anything for a while and i tripped out really bad⌠for example i thought i was gonna overdose and die, and that i was already dead.. that is the most fear i have felt in my entire life, and even though its over and has been over i have this constant fear in my mind âwhat if your still high and this is all a dreamâ or âyour gonna wake up and it will still be that nightâ i never wanna feel that way again. i canât even go around the smell of weed with out freaking out. i canât take pills, or vitamin gummies because âwhat if it will make me highâ when it comes to sleeping i wanna try this dr teals sleep blend but i struggle so much with it because of my mind saying âit will make you feel highâ.. even when i feel tired i feel scared cause it reminds me of feeling high.. its just i feel so stuck with the same reaccrujng thought âthis could be the time you wake up and it was all just a dreamâ âyou could wake up from coma and this was all imaginedâ i donât know what else to do, its my own mind no one can help me and that sucks i donât know how to win the battle when itâs such a deep rooted fear. i feel like im pushing my family away. i feel so numb.
I am so so upset and anxious right now. At this point I badly need reassurance as Im feeling a whole panic attack coming on. Has anyone ever had the feeling in their head and body like they are actually going to act on a terrible harm related intrusive thought like it actually feels like you are. Im scared as fuck i dont know what to do because What if i actually do that i am so scared does it ever feel like your on the edge of doing it and you get this whole intrusive urge in your body PLEASE REPLY please tell me experiences
does anyone else experience extreme fear of developing psychosis or schizophrenia or derealization. I literally freak myself out so much that it makes me physically sick. Iâm so scared of developing these and it keeps coming up all over my TikTok and Google. Itâs freaking me out.
