Well i was OK for a day or so, not 100% but i was happy with 65%

BUT the past day was a horror, i was trying to go shopping for food and i was freaking out. That i was lost or about to be lost, that i was going to forget who i was, forget what i was doing and where i was.

I have been going to be at 12PM and waking up at 8PM every day, its getting bad. All i do is watch the death and destruction on TV I'm freaking out. I'm going to see my PSYC at 11AM and i have not slept and I'm a mess.

I'm going to attempt to beg her for some kind of benzos. I burnt my leg last week in a motor bike accident and I'm stressed out to the max. I have been laying in bed most of this past week just freaking out and getting drunk.

Im going deep in to a spell of DP/DR and its killing me. I simply just cant take this any more and need help.

Hey man... The alcohol can be triggering a lot of this , slow down on the booze man, I know it feels good at the time but you pay for it later as you are seeing. Good to go and talk to your pysch .... I know how it is getting these thoughts stuck in your mind, it can be relentless. I hope your leg is doing better.. If it isn't too painful,, get up out of the bed and slow down the drinking..... Go outside and get some fresh air and sunshine ( if it isn't raining) Let some light into your life.... YOu had two good days so you know they are possible..

Oh man!!! I know how you feel bro. And when you get through it your going to ask yourself "how the heck did I get through that and still keep my rational thinking!"

It will pass though man...It will!

Spaceplex, i was in the same situation. A lot of us were. It's important that you know that at this point. It's bad now but it gets better, as you know. A big problem, from what i can surmise from this, is not so much the drinking (although if it's heavy and unrelenting then yes, it probably is the drinking too), but mostly that you're spending too much time in your own head. Get outside. Go for a walk. Join a class or something. DP is a product of anxiety. You're just feeding the anxiety by staying in bed all day and watching TV. Make a plan to reemerge and then set it into action. I know it's comfortable to watch TV and lay in bed and drink. I've done it too. Sometimes we even need it. But you now know that it's time for a change. So Change. And in time, you'll get better.

And don't worry, you aren't slipping away or anything. That's a very common complaint of all of us in our bad times.

Another thing i wanted to add is that i know in the state that you're in right now your experience seems like something far more horrible than anything that could be caused by anxiety. "Anxiety" is a word that has been emasculated over the years. Everyone and their cat suffers from "anxiety" in one form or another. But anxiety in its truest form is a dreadful thing. It can send our world into nightmare, and cause us to doubt our most precious and treasured dreams. But it's all a ruse. Remember that.
