I have really bad depersonalization. Its been getting gradually worse.

My worst and most bothersome/scary symptoms are:

-No ability to visulize in my mind (get a headache if i try to force it, its just Black)

• No emotions
• No inner monologue (cant force that either) - head is just empty
• Pressure in my head and feels like my brain is being squeezed
• Cognitive difficulties and memory issues
• My brain cant process or take in information (i read the words but my brain wont take it in, i look at a chair but my brain takes time understanding its a chair)
• Spaced out vision and feeling in head

Anyone have these symptoms and experience them going away?

I've been experiencing these symptoms on and off for the past year and a half. Recently it's gotten worse, most likely triggered by the stress of school and a recent course of deep TMS treatments. I keep spacing out and can't focus anymore. My recall is terrible. I can't feel any emotions and my body feels numb. I'm completely on autopilot and just communicate and live without thinking through anything. I cycle through feeling numb and really bad anxiety/ derealization with obsessive thought loops.

Just started sertraline 50 mg, upped to 100 mg after the first week. Will give it a month or two to see if it has any effect, and will then talk to my pdoc about adding Lamictal or an atypical antipsychotic as it seems there's an evidence base for those (at least for the lamictal). Also planning on seeing a neurologist this summer just in case it's physical.
