I keep getting these feelings like I am waking up or about to wake up like everything around me becomes real... It scares me, Am I suppose to just distract myself and ignore them, or is this the way to come out of this... I don't know. I am scared?
My therapist described this like a wave, its a thought, it'll wash over you, let it be, as scary as it sounds I know that feeling, one of the main things that scares me the most, the more your used to it, the less scary it becomes, you might even find out whats the root cause, for me it was because I almost choked to death, and I'm terrified of dying and ceasing to exist. equally enough you can distract yourself with tedious tasks
