I have got schizophrenia diagnosis for 15 years ago (2000). Before that, I began feeling very sick after a most stressful family situation and got symptoms of derealization and anxiety which lasted over one year. I couldn’t work at all and should stay home. After that period I was recovered in 2…3 years. Do you think that those feelings of oddity and anxiety really were symptoms of schizophrenia?
No probably not.
as matter of interest how did you overcome the depersonalisation. That has been bugging me a lot lately and I don’t know how to get over the depersonalisation. Can you enlighten me?
I’ve been getting a lot of depersonalization… that out of body… loosing control feeling…
For me is panic triggered… when it starts to hit I have to either go somewhere where I can calm down…
I also try to focus intensely on what I’m doing… it helps if it’s a mundane task. Bringing the mind back to that one task will help me get back in my body.
Good luck with this one… it’s not a fun feeling to be lifting out of the body
