Hi! Can’t say I have experienced exactly that in terms of family, bt anxiety certainly does make you feel pretty detached….as with all thinks anxiety related, if you keep worrying about it you add to it and make it worse…hope things improve soon! Keep your chin up!

OMG I can’t begin to say how much better I know I will feel when this detactment/depersonalization feeling hits me again. I am 48 and have had GAD (i think never been to a doc) for 30 years on and off. There are times in my life when I have not had symptoms but lately have had this detatchment thing 2-3 times a week. I will be walking on the sidewalk (excercise) and all of a sudden feel like I’m not there, almost like dreaming, it scares the life out of me and I’m afraid I will pass out or die before I can get home to see my little Daughter again, whom I love more than anything. Its sad, but a relief to hear others speak of this awfull feeling and that there is hope. Have any of you developed a tremor in your hand, for the last 6 months I have had a tremor in my right hand. I think sometimes it may be related to the stress in my life or GAD, but the worst of all is for sure the depersonalization symptom. The way I have decribed it to others is its like I live in this bubble filled with all my worreis and sometimes outside stimulis like noise awakens me and gives me a glimpsh of the reality I’m not seeing, and then scares the heck out of me, seeming not real!
I’m going to try and really STOP worring so much although its going to be tough and take more control of my thoughts. Like I said knowing others have suffered for this same awfull symptom (and its just a symptom) gives me much hope:)

This article is great and gives me a sense of relief. I’ve just been put on ciltalopram 20mg I started taking it yesterday and feel rough today. Headache and depersonalisation feeling which I find awful. Try to take my mind else where sometimes I can and sometimes I can’t. I’m just glad I’m not alone
Thanks

I really like this article . I’ve had depersonalization symptoms for 5 years now and am very hopeful that this will help my anxiety. I am now in eighth grade and my parents don’t really understand what i mean when i tell them that i have this feeling. But this was very helpful thank you.
