My depression is making me feel insane

I've had depression for over a year now and the last few months I've been trying harder, but lately I just feel so hopeless.

To add to this, something new has come up. It happened once before a few months ago, but it's happening again. The last few days I've been experiencing "derealization". I feel like I'm not real, like I'm living in a dream most of the day. It is kind of scary and I actually had a little panic attack about it earlier. I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should just let it take its course and hopefully it will go away soon or if I should schedule an appointment with my counselor sooner than I had planned because despite knowing it happens to other people I'm kind of freaked out and scared that I'm just losing my mind

As someone with depression and an experience with derealisation, I know how you're feeling but I can assure you, you're not going insane! I would highly recommend seeing a doctor about how you're feeling. Sometimes you need extra support to get through mental health issues. I believe in your ability to get back to feeling much better and I wish you luck in your journey. Stay strong. ♥
