I am titled Melissa.
I suppose this may be true and maybe even easily achievable for others; But after years, I just don’t know how to make having severe anxiety, etc, feel blissful. Having unprovoked panic attacks daily takes a toll on any human.
Day three
Day two
Giving it a go -
Just picked up my Zoloft prescription, I’m terrified. Lol.
If anyone has any experience with this crap, help me out.
This alprazolam I have ingested requires a calm tea… or perhaps wine? Hm.

Official psychiatrist meeting today @ 12:00.
Let’s see how this woman will evaluate me, lol.

How is derealization related to anxiety?
The answer to this question is indeed a short one. It’s a dissociative symptom. Derealization is inherent to anxiety. Mostly, You can not experience the symptoms of derealization if you do not suffer from some kind of anxiety disorder. Don’t treat derealization as a separate disorder, treat it as a symptom that originates from your underlying anxiety. You do not necessarily have to feel anxious to experience the symptoms of derealization. Anxiety may lay dormant in the background, but the fear of derealization itself will bring the anxiety to life, causing more derealization. It becomes a vicious cycle.
Even if you don’t feel any particular anxiety at the moment, the DP/DR may still be present because of two factors:
- DP/DR needs time to “clear up”. It doesn’t disappear momentarely with the anxiety.
- You may feel relatively calm, but not calm enough to be able to let go of DP/DR.
