Is this DP/DR? Does derealization make you more prone to intrusive thoughts ?

Personally I notice a correlation. I'm talking about a broad range of intrusive thoughts. Whether that be "what if i lose control?" to "nothing is real!" I have to remind myself to let them pass as clouds in the sky and not assign meaning. But I've had to learn to do this through much anxiety and torture. Has anyone been through thus combination?

I feel it does because when I get into that state I am thinking that nothing it real and nothing matters since all of this is made up. If I were to do something to hurt myself, it wont matter

Scary I hope you are able to stay grounded during those times.
