Derealization?
Hello everyone! I'm very new to this and was just looking for some people who may share my experience.
I'm going to ramble here, I went on a medication called zoloft around 12 weeks ago, 4 weeks in I started feeling like I was in a dream like state so I stopped taking it, for around 8 weeks now since I've stopped taking it I've been stuck in that state.
Feeling like everything is off and weird and not being able to recognize myself at all, I feel like im watching my life through someone else's eyes.
Needless to say I'm having endless anxiety and have hyperfixated on every little detail of this feeling.
Anyway just wanted to see if anyone else has delt with this and what I can do to enjoy life again.
Hi
from what you said, I think you’re experiencing symptoms of depersonalization more than derealization.
@Boo221 Ik this is a pretty old post but I relate completely i get the feeling of just wanting to enjoy life and feel normal again I also got it from taking something idk if your still struggling with this but whats sorta working for me is really focusing on things i love doing it kinda pushes the feeling away for a little bit but fs don't take that medication anymore i got it from weed and ever since I stopped a couple months ago its slowly been getting better again I know this is old and you probably don't need this anymore maybe other people reading this thread do I genuinely believe derealization is one of the worst feelings ever its so draining and just makes everything seem so meaningless.
