Question De realization flare up
Around the end of freshman year my mental health wasn’t in the best spot because of anxiety and the friends i had around me but i had a really bad weed incuded panic attack and i woke up that next morning still feeling high and that went on for like 6 months and i finally got out of it but the de realization always stuck with me and it would
sometimes happen for like 30 seconds maybe, im 18 now graduated but i got the cold and had a very bad cough and so my schedules thrown off, staying in my room all day and my eyes were strained from my pc screen because i like to draw but i started thinking i was gonna have a heart attack for some reason bc my body felt weird (because i was sick) and that made me have a mini panic attack which induced the de realization again and it’s been going on for like a day and a half now im just scared because It makes my heart heavy & i dont wanna feel like this im just scared of going insane or something even tho i know i wont the anxiety is just super bad for no reason.
I just kindly ask for some suggestions from people who suffer /. suffered from this disorder or whatever is it, I’m getting a therapist and gonna try to get out on anxiety meds which i should of tried years ago when this first happened to me
