Hello all, hope you are well.

I don't want to make this into a super lengthy post but see how it goes. A brief summary is that I started experiencing severe anxiety about this time a year ago. Once I grasped the whole concept of Anxiety, I began my healing processs in the form of acceptance. That meant accepting my thoughts, triggers, symptoms 100% no matter what until I got to the point where it didn't matter anymore , and because it didn't matter anymore , I wasn't adding any further stress/worry to my lingering symptoms. I understood that this was all part of the healing process and to not get in the way.

Anyway, one of the symptoms as a result of all this stress was DP/DR. I presume it's DR over DP, as I feel it's more my surroundings that are 'off' on occasion, and not oneself which is more DP. It literally comes on and off and without warning, for sometimes no reason it seems. I get moments of clarity and bliss , but then before I get used to feeling great again, it returns and tries putting me back to square one. I am a strong individual now who no longer gets caught up in 'trying to figure it all out' again, but I am starting to get deeply frustrated and am seeking some advice I suppose. I've had a blood test and it came back normal... i will try and describe my symptoms below...

1. Foggy headed
2. Blank minded
3. Difficulty concentrating/focusing
4. Short term memory difficulties
5. A general feeling of being 'off'
6. Disorientated
7. Light headed
8. Woozy/ Slighlty drunk.

The above are mild forms and doesn't stop me doing anything... as in work, driving etc and like I said , they come and go.. often many times throughout a given day. It's anxiety induced, not weed/drugs as I've never done such things. Will these feelings ever just subside the more I keep accepting them and without questioning their presence ? If anxiety triggers are causing it... I've learned that heading towards these triggers is the way forward as it's slowly over time ... deactivating my Amygdala... and it's definitely working as I've seen great results and progress from this time a year ago. Introspection on oneself is hard to overcome when you feel shit.

Thanks all.

Hi Shiny,

Those feelings will subside over time, and quicker with the strategies you're employing.

During my recovery phases, I would lapse back into DR and/or DP at random moments, but with reducing frequency and for shorter periods over time. This usually lasted for a few months, after which years could pass with no hint of DP/DR and associated cognitive issues.

It's been about two years since I last suffered from it (20 years since I first went through it). Nothing is triggering for me anymore, so I recently decided to join this forum to help others going through it.
