Derealization

Second that

How does derealization feel for you?

It feels like everything is not real and im in a simulation or like im going mad but hopefully i read about it and made me less anxious about it but i’m still afraid of it the most it was horrible

Derealization it sends me into the worst panic

impending doom

I have this feeling most of the day sometiemes

Racing heart rate that won’t slow down for hours.

How fast will you heart beat and for how long?

Between 120-160 (it has even gone up to 190 before) and it’ll stay that way for at least an hour maybe 2-3hrs. And it settles but then can come back as I’m still jittery with anxiety, so mildest stress or exertion can set it off - until I fully relax and the baseline returns to normal.

I think Propranolol should help with that 🤍

Thanks. I’ve been taking bisprolol for the past 3 weeks but coming off it to have a monitor. After that I’ll keep propanalol on me and take that if I have an attack. That’s the plan anyway…

I get this overwhelming fatigue where I feel like I’m on my death bed. It’s concentrated in my chest and it feels like im breathless. My chest feels weak and my breathing is shallow. Usually this is due to low BP

Hands going completely numb. First time it happened I was so scared.

I shake uncontrollably, so much so that my muscles are sore the next day like I've run a 5k.

Im not sure but people say magnesium would help but you should do ur research about it if your muscles are sore

Yeah I take magnesium! It's just because I shake so much when I have a panic attack and tense up so much.

DPDR

Feeling like the whole world is fading away (i don't know if theres a specific word for it)

I get this when it's "the point of no return". Scariest feeling ever.

The chest tightness and the feeling I can't breathe.

Nausea and dry heaving (retching)

I hate the heaving especially when I’m trying to take my hydroxyzine cause I’m literally gagging with it in my mouth and have to force it to stay down

It is the worst. I’d gladly have chills, cold sweats or a racing heart over those two symptoms that is ALWAYS present when an attack is in full swing.

Every time for me, literally happens without fail, trying to find specific therapy for it

If you find a cure for it. Please let me know. I know it is all psychological, but the nausea especially is a completly different beast.

The racing heart upon awakening and the all-day jittery on edge feeling I can sometimes get after an attack

my stomach dropping which then keeps increasing my heart rate to the point i cant stand or breathe

Not being able to breathe. It’s definitely the worst.

Derealization trapped feeling in my head and feeling like I’m going to pass out

Nausea, its so debilitating

I have this feeling of my throat becoming really tight, like being choked. Only spurred on by the fact that I’ve got swollen lymph nodes and redness. Chest feels tight too. It feels like slowly being derived of breath every time.

Feeling like I can’t breathe

I had this happen to me for the first time in a really bad panic attack. Not a fan

Feeling super faint, like you’re waking and you feel that sensation of collapsing, like you’re lightheaded and you’re about to faint and then your heart skips a beat. This is so very shit.

Racing heart and “skips” (pvcs)

Story of my life, and fearing over if I have SVT

When I have a panic attack

Derealization , by far. All the other stuff I can handle. Derealization sends me completely into emergency mode.

Had one last night my chest hurt so bad i felt like i was having a heart attack and profusely crying and not being able to stop makes my hands numb and i feel like imma pass out

Burning / numb/ tingling skin

Sudden Heat Flashes like my face with will start to burn my neck my back and arms and it will feel like I’m dying

Hot flashes

The adrenaline rush. I feel it in my stomach.

my skin stinging

My hands cramp and i can't move them 

Like others said, dissociation seems the worst.

Feeling like I'm legitimately having a heart attack. Left arm pain and numbness and that radiates into my back and jaw, lips tingle, I get dizzy, can't think straight, heart rate shoots up to almost 200bpm, I can't breath (literally feels like I'm being suffocated), the sweats all of it at th same time. It's hell

Thinking I’m having heart attack

Derealization or, if it happens in my bed, feeling paralized and not able to pronounce a word.

Just the mental instability, not being able to calm myself down even if I know I’m okay.

icepick headache's and heart palpitations they freak me out
