has anyone else had the depersonalization symptom?? now i’m scared i’ve always had it and that i’ll never be able to love my boyfriend the same way that i had because i can’t even seem to recognize him. or maybe this is just my anxiety talking and i don’t have the depersonalization and it’s just anxiety. i’m so scared i won’t love him anymore :((((
I’ve felt that. It’s a weird feeling. Stop stressing yourself I’d literally want to kill my self over the anxiety but it’s not worth it. I feel helpless a lot of the time
I have more anxiety in the evenings too.
Exactly, i have that feeling (dreaming) too, even in the setbacks.
Does anyone else feel like they lost the feeling of always being attracted to their partner? I feel like I analyze him a lot and I hate it! I also freak out when I find other guys attractive because it makes me think I want them instead of my significant other
I was wondering if anyone can help me because im driving myself crazy and i tend to over think a lot! this forum has definitely helped me.. in April i started taking BC and after one month of taking the pills i went absolutely crazy. I couldn't be alone, i had many panic and anxiety attacks, a tad bit feelings of depression and i overall felt like my whole life was falling apart and i didn't know what to do. I had this constant fear of everyone leaving me and i felt like i was annoying everyone i spoke to. i immediately stopped taking the pills.. For 2 weeks I had these symptoms and then towards the middle of may i felt back to myself, i was able to go out with friends, sleep normally, & get back into my routine. Then another 2 weeks goes by and im back to the same as i was before. on June 2 up until now ive been a total rollercoaster, up and down. i cant get myself to go out and do things i could barely go to work. i spoke to my doctor and told her i strongly believe the pills did this to me and she only tells me to go to counseling or take medication. i was prescribed Ativan for when i do panic but i don't want to take any meds. i know 100% this isn't like me and this feeling is terrible i don't know what else to do with myself, im scared it wont go away and when i told my DR it could be a hormone imbalance she tried to convince me otherwise which made me panic more.
i get the same dp feeling and it feels like it’s never going to go away. i got off nexplanon and i was fine til my first period and i went crazy. once my period was over i was still like that for a week then it slowly started going away. i felt like i could finally recognize and know what i was doing. my period returned and the symptoms came back but not as bad. i feel with every period you get, your hormones will get back to how they were before. i too convince myself it’ll never go away but i’m trying to keep my hopes up for myself and my bf! it is hard, but i know it’s all from the hormones. i was never like this before!
Yeah my period started June 4 and ended around June 9 and I still feel off. I hope they balance out, its been so stressful for me, i go home and immediately start crying because of how sad and frustrated I am. I just hope it doesnt take over my summer, i have so many plans and things to look forward too that when im in this state i dont want to do it at all.
My doctor tried to do the same thing. I’ve been dealing with this for over a year and started to feel weird honestly within the first week of taking the pill. I knew something was up and decided to come off because I completely changed while on it. I came off thinking everything would be ok but unfortunately that’s not the case. I don’t know why doctors will deny that the pill effects our mental health but they do. Hoping your symptoms don’t last as long as mine because it’s miserable. Don’t let this ruin your summer. Try to tell yourself that you’re okay even though you may feel otherwise
why do i feel like i’m always in such a trance. like a dream like state?? i don’t feel real. is depersonalization like a disorder or just a symptom of anxiety?
For the people that have been suffering for over a year and still feel pretty crummy: Have you been exercising, eating right and all that stuff?

Yeah I have been. Not consistently but I’ve definitely changed my diet and I would say it helped tremendously
Hello,
I’ve had the same thing, it does ease up though. I’m in month 9 and I saw improvement with that symptom beginning in month 5 or 6. I did go to counseling and the dr explained it’s our body’s reaction to high anxiety or stress levels (hormone related in our case) that make our body say - I can’t handle this so I’m going to ignore everything and shut out the world. You are here. Please hang in there, okay? It goes away.

Does anyone else feel like the only way to get through this is fake it until you make it? UGH my anxiety has been through the roof lately and I just can’t deal with this ROCD anymore. I feel like I need to take a break from the relationship but deep down I know that’s not going to help anything. I just feel so lost and annoyed!
does anyone look in the mirror and not recognize themselves? if you have, does it go away. i feel like my brain just shut down and i’m so scared.
