Weird feeling? Panic? De realisation?

[Sammyd]

Hello

about s month a go I had the worst panic attack I have ever had. Since then it has had me questioning if I am real, if my family is real, if my surroundings are real and the thing is I know that things are real but it's like I zone out and it all becomes a blur! people who I usually socialise with don't seem real to me even my family and my house! It's making me panic like I did like the last massive attack I had,

i was off my medication and today I finally broke after waking up and not knowing where I was- the doctor has put me back on the meds! I just hope this all goes away I feel like I am losing my mind and I don't want to spend the rest of my life like this- had anyone else been trough this?

Hi Sammyd,s I went off my medication for more than a year two months ago I had a severe panic attack I thought I was having a heart attack went to emergency it all checked ok. Since then had many more attacks so I decided to go back on the medication. It's been three weeks and I still feel lousy but I will hang in as I believe it will improve. Don't loose hope lots of support on this site

Thanks for the reply

feeling a little better today but feeling as though I should be having a panic attack as though it's an effort to be normal but I have managed to get through the day without any detaching feeling just feeling a little funny during the evening time. Going to keep going and hopefully this helps me out just have to get through my head now what happens when I eventually get off them again! But for now it's focusing on getting better

Hi Sammyd

I've actually been suffering from derealisation and depersonalisation for years and yes at times you do feel like you don't know where you are, it's absolutely terrifying. I keep questioning whether life or the world is real or if I'm dreaming or imagining things and at other times it's like everything has changed, like things look and feel different but they don't. Keep in mind that it is nothing more than anxiety and is not harmful in anyway! All the best on your recovery!

am feeling little better but the medication is making me so disoriented I don't know what I'm doing! It's very scary because life just doesn't feel like my life anymore
