Hi everyone,
So as the subject says really I'm ready to get my mental health back on track!
After a debilitating couple of days, where i basically convinced myself I had/was getting psychosis and schizophrenia and is/was going to lose my mind from a TikTok, ive been suffering with extreme depersonalization and derealization panic attacks and sheer and utter terror and the most awful intrusive thoughts. I caved in and went to my doctor he told me that I wasn't infact getting either conditions and its was just my anxiety and panic.
Basically last Thursday I was scrolling through TikTok and a lady had recorded herself in the middle of psychosis I did the fateful mistake and googling it, then panic set in and then more googling...the cycle had begun! I'm still currently going through DP&DR but I'm feeling lots better. I actually managed to eat a pot noodle today too after not eating for two days.
So I thought I'd start a thread for anyone who is also suffering and has had enough to join me and we can post and talk and tell each other how our days have been or if we need an encouraging word, or found a quote or pod cast that fellow sufferes would enjoy! So basically
Hi I'm LivingMyBestAnxietyLife and I have health anxiety, generalised anxiety and panic ❤
