[anti-anti depressants]

Hello,

I was in two minds whether to write this post as I thought maybe people would think Im crazy.

Im suffering from slight Agrophobia at the moment. When I do venture out of the house and come across the NORMAL people, I sort of look at them and think " Who are these people?" and look at them as if they are just skeletons walking around the place. This thought really scares me and I try not to think about it to much. I mentioned it to the community psychiatric nurse and he did'nt really want to emphasise on it to much and really just past it off as if I had'nt mentioned it. Has anyone else ever though like this.

Don't fret - you're not crazy. :lol: Not by a long shot.

You're just describing the symptoms of DR/DP. Everyone and everything, including ourselves, feels 'strange' and'alien'. And this causes us to think strange thoughts, it's natural considering. Like if you've got a huge great growth sicking out of your arse, you might think..'Hmmm...that shouldn't be there. But you must really try and not get stuck in an obsessive thought cycle about this....obsessive rumination is a real bastard and only makes your DR/DP worse....trust me.

Cheers for that.

Nice to know it's just the obsessive thoughts. I'll try not to think to much about it.
