Ever feel like you might forget who people are? Or they just don't seem the same to you? I get this because i just sit and focus on people. Right now I'm hanging out with my wife and my beast friend I'm just freaking out. IM sure i seem normal, but in my mind I'm freaking out. I know none of this is real. All of my other symptoms of DP are going away but this new and frightening symptom is freaking me out.

Are you drinking alcohol?

Did you say you signed up for AA? How often are the meetings?

Its anxiety

Its anxiety

don't let anxiety freak you out. Anxiety is fire and freaking out is gasoline. You need a time out -- relax and let it go -- don't fight this -- fighting is stress and stress is the cousin of anxiety. Let yourself go -- let it do what it wants and stay calm and it will pass.

But, it is best to be alone in a cool, quiet place, maybe even dark. Being around people is tough -- they increase stress because of the need to repsond and interact with them.
