Hi Acter,
You are not the only one. I’ve experienced derealization/ depersonalization in the past and still do from time to time. Many people experience this when anxiety levels are very high- at least for me. I know it can be really scary to feel like that. I think grounding exercises would be helpful. Good luck!
Yes! I experienced that through my postpartum anxiety!
Grounding excersises. And therapy really helped a lot!
You’re most definitely not the only one. I experienced it for many years.
You know, sometimes our bodies do things that are considered “disordered” just to survive a very terrible situation. Once we are safe, however, the behavior can get in the way of living life the way we want to.
I’m just pointing this out because I want you to know you’re not broken or crazy. You’re a hero for surviving whatever it is that made you need to disconnect in order to survive.
I hope that you’re currently in a safe place and find true healing ❤️
