Hey, so my girlfriend wants me to go swimming, I used to love swimming but now it completely freaks me out, and right now the feeling of like being in a movie is strong- and she wants to swim later and I think it will get worse... Ugh, anyway any tips for this? Thanks!
There have been so many times that I've wanted to do something that "used" to be fun, but I didn't because of Depersonalization. It inhibited me from experiencing a lot of the things that I wanted to experience; friends, family, gatherings, events, et cetera. It's better to do them and not let your Depersonalization incapacitate you. It may be hard at first and no one is saying do everything uncomfortable in one day, but it's nearly capital that you begin to break out of your shell.
Show yourself that there's nothing to fear - because there isn't anything to fear.
