Feeling unreal
Hi, this is my first post here so please bare with me. I've suffered from depression for about 10 years at varying degrees of severity. recently I've felt it building up and getting bad all over again but with it is this feeling of being unreal, sometime me and sometimes my surroundings, it comes and goes. I've never really experienced this sort of thing before and it's really scaring me.

I've felt this so many times. It's such a strange and uncomfortable feeling. It can be really scary to . I wish I knew how to get rid of this feeling. I really don't like it.
That feeling of "unrealness" or feeling meaningless is called existential anxiety (or if the feeling is more of a one off, an existential crisis). I'm not sure how to deal with them but now you know what it is, maybe you could look it up? Hope this helped.
Thanks. Maybe knowing the name will help with finding some proper coping strategies. Right now one of the things that makes me feel connected to myself again is hurting and that's not something I can take becoming regular again.
your really not the only one!
My depression started with panic attacksi feel like this 24/7 all day every day, not just a one off. I thought something was seriously wrong and even thought I was dead or dreaming. I'm scared
